Applications will be submitted to DOJ in a two-step process.

Step 1: Applicants will submit an SF-424 in Grants.gov at https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/register.html.

Step 2: Applicants will submit the full application including attachments in JustGrants at JustGrants.usdoj.gov.

We strongly suggest you review the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide.

Registering with Grants.gov is a one-time process; DOJ encourages applicants to register several weeks before the application submission deadline. Processing delays may occur, and it can take several weeks for first-time registrants to receive confirmation of registration and a user password. See Get Registered on Grants.gov for details and instructions.

On Grants.gov, go to Search Grant Opportunities on Grants.gov.
