With Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2023 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) funds, Indiana seeks to fill the justice funding gaps in the areas of emphasis identified by the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Priorities for program funding will be directed at data-driven programs and those utilizing proven evidence-based/best practices in the criminal justice community. Additionally, priority will be given to programs that align with the identified needs of criminal justice stakeholders within their strategic plan for disseminating JAG funds.
