## What the grant funds

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART Office) seeks applications for funding under the SMART FY 2024 Support for Adam Walsh Act Implementation Grant Program. This program furthers DOJ’s mission by assisting states, the District of Columbia, principal U.S. territories and certain federally recognized Indian Tribes with implementation and ongoing maintenance of requirements under the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, specifically Subtitle A of Title I of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA). OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, the SMART Office seeks to assist jurisdictions with developing and enhancing programs designed to implement SORNA requirements. SORNA requires all states, the District of Columbia, the principal U.S. territories and participating federally recognized Indian Tribes to maintain a sex offender registry; and sex offenders to register and maintain a current registration in each jurisdiction where the individual lives, works or goes to school. SORNA also sets forth requirements regarding what jurisdictions must include in their sex offender registries, and what information sex offenders and sex offender registries must provide. For more specific information about SORNA substantial implementation, the National Guidelines and Supplemental Guidelines on Sex Offender Registration and Notification, the Supplemental Juvenile Registration Guidelines, and Attorney General Rules, visit the SMART Office’s SORNA guidance. This program furthers DOJ’s mission to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights.
