Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

Eligible applicants are those that are operated by a public agency or nonprofit organization, institutions of higher education, or a combination of such agencies or organizations, and must demonstrate expertise in provision of services to transgender victims of crime. For purposes of this solicitation, "state" means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. To advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency’s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency’s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Implementation Fact Sheet, and the List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies.All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.

What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. In June 2021, the White House Domestic Policy Council and Gender Policy Council announced the establishment of the Interagency Working Group on Safety, Inclusion, and Opportunity for Transgender Americans. This is in response to the fact that still today, many transgender Americans, especially transgender women and girls of color, face epidemic levels of violence, discrimination, and stigma. The proposed project will seek to begin to address that issue by funding one entity to create a toolkit with updated information on how to respond to transgender victims of crime, especially for transgender women and girls of color. According to a new study by the University of California Los Angeles Williams Institute, "transgender people are four times more likely than cisgender people to experience violent victimization, including rape, sexual assault, and aggravated or simple assault." This project seeks to develop a toolkit for the field that will inform organizations on how to better serve transgender people, in a culturally responsive and trauma-informed way.
