The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will host an informational webinar on the Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation (BCJI) Program FY 2016 Competitive Grant Announcement on Monday, April 4, 2016 at 3:30 p.m. ET. This webinar will provide an overview of the BCJI program – current model and training and technical assistance (TTA) program – as well as a walk-through of key changes in the FY 16 solicitation. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions directly to BJA staff.
The goal of BCJI is to reduce crime and improve community safety as part of a comprehensive strategy to advance neighborhood revitalization. The BCJI program—and the TTA to support the model— is focused on four core objectives:
- Place-based strategy: To better integrate crime control efforts with revitalization strategies.
- Data driven: To improve the use of data and research to problem solve and guide program strategy.
- Community Oriented: To increase community and resident engagement in shaping crime prevention and revitalization efforts.
- Partnerships and Capacity Building: To promote sustainable collaboration with cross sector partners to tackle problems from multiple angles.
Applicants must register with Grants.gov prior to submitting an application. All applications are due in Grants.gov by 11:59 p.m. ET on May 12, 2016.
