Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2022 171272
The BJA FY 22 Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT) for State Prisoners Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen how RSAT-funded substance use disorder treatment is delivered inside correctional and detention settings and how people are supported as they return to the community. It sits within the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, improved access to justice, support for victims and justice-involved individuals, stronger community safety, and increased trust between law enforcement and communities. Rather than directly funding treatment services in a single facility or state, this particular award focuses on selecting one national-level provider that can train, advise, and support the network of RSAT state administrators and frontline practitioners who implement RSAT programming on the ground.
The core purpose of the award is to provide structured, practical training and technical assistance that helps jurisdictions implement evidence-based substance use disorder treatment in state, local, and tribal correctional and detention facilities and to build or strengthen community-based aftercare and reentry supports after release. The emphasis is on improving program quality and consistency, helping programs align with research-backed approaches, and ultimately improving outcomes for detained and incarcerated individuals as they transition back into the community. In practice, a TTA provider under this opportunity would be expected to help RSAT stakeholders solve common implementation problems, build capacity, share best practices across jurisdictions, and support continuous improvement efforts that can reduce relapse risk and support safer, more stable reentry.
This funding opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency anticipates an active partnership role during the project period, with ongoing collaboration and substantial involvement from BJA compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2022-171272 and is associated with CFDA 16.593. The activity category is listed as Humanities (see Cultural Affairs in CFDA), which is an administrative classification and does not change the justice and public health focus described in the program narrative.
Eligibility is broad and includes nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses, with an additional eligibility category of "Others" as referenced in the full solicitation for any clarifications or special cases. BJA expected to make one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $800,000, signaling that the intent is to fund a single organization (or lead applicant) to serve as the primary national TTA provider for RSAT stakeholders.
Key dates tied to the solicitation show it was created on April 15, 2022, with an original application closing date of May 26, 2022. Overall, the opportunity targets system-level impact by investing in the training, guidance, and problem-solving support that state administrators and practitioners need to deliver high-quality, evidence-based substance use disorder treatment during incarceration and to connect individuals to effective aftercare and reentry services that continue after release.Apply for O BJA 2022 171272
