The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will host an informational webinar on the Smart Prosecution Initiative: Fiscal Year 2016 Competitive Grant Announcement on Thursday, March 3,, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. ET. The purpose of this webinar is to share information about the solicitation with interested applicants. Webinar participants will have the opportunity to learn about BJA’s expectations of the state, local, or tribal prosecutor agency, and ask questions about the solicitation and the application process.

- Promoting fair, impartial, and expeditious pursuit of justice;
- Ensuring safe communities; and
- Promoting integrity in the prosecution profession and effective coordination in the criminal justice system.
