The solicitation template serves as a generic model for the announcement of grant programs as authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5) (the ÂRecovery ActÂ). The template will be used to solicit applications to fund grants to assist state, local, and tribal law enforcement, to combat violence against women, to fight internet crimes against children, to improve the functioning of the criminal justice system, to assist victims of crime, and to support youth mentoring.
This is a request for an emergency clearance. The deadlines imposed by the Recovery Act and OMB Guidance provide that solicitations be announced as soon as possible. OJP and OVW are beginning to issue program announcements as early as March 5. A one-day clearance review and approval is required.
