Leadership and Service to Achieve Safer Communities

In FY 2021, Department of Justice (DOJ) funding applications are submitted in a new two-step process, each with its own deadline. Applicants begin the application process by submitting an SF-424 and SF-LLL within Grants.gov. The application information and forms are then transferred to the Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and will automatically appear for the applicant in JustGrants. The applicant can then submit the full application, including attachments, in JustGrants.

For further guidance and resources, read the solicitation document carefully, access the DOJ Application Submission Checklist, and see the JustGrants Application Submission training page.

On October 15, 2020, the Department of Justice grant making components―the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services, the Office of Justice Programs, and the Office on Violence Against Women―launched a new grants management system (JustGrants) and payment management system (ASAP). We appreciate your patience as we navigate this promising new system.

We understand that there are still some difficulties in accessing awarded funds through the JustGrants System. The JustGrants team is working to resolve known issues. See the User Support section of the JustGrants website for assistance in using the system. For further guidance, see the Program Office and Policy Office contacts on our site.
