The U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), National Institute of Justice 

(NIJ) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for funding under the Recovery Act: 

Evaluation of Internet Child Safety Materials Used by ICAC Task Forces in School and 

Community Settings. 

On February 17, 2009, President Obama signed into law the landmark American Recovery and 

Reinvestment Act of 2009 (the “Recovery Act”). As one of its many elements, the Recovery Act 

provides the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) with funding for grants to assist State, local, and 

tribal law enforcement (including support for hiring), 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. DOJ is committed to working with our 

national, State, local and tribal partnerships to ensure this funding invests in the American 

workforce. 

Specifically, under this solicitation, NIJ will be making an award for a multisite evaluation of 

internet child safety materials used by Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task forces in 

school- and community-based prevention and awareness programs.

Recovery Act: Evaluation of Internet Child Safety 

Materials Used by ICAC Task Forces in School 

and Community Settings 

(CFDA #16.800) 

Overview 

This grant program is authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 

(Public Law 111-5) (the “Recovery Act”). 

The stated purposes of the Recovery Act are: to preserve and create jobs and promote 

economic recovery; to assist those most impacted by the recession; to provide investments 

needed to increase economic efficiency by spurring technological advances in science and 

health; to invest in transportation, environmental protection, and other infrastructure that will 

provide long-term economic benefits; and to stabilize State and local government budgets, in 

order to minimize and avoid reductions in essential services and counterproductive State and 

local tax increases. 

The Recovery Act places great emphasis on accountability and transparency in the use of 

taxpayer dollars. Among other things, it creates a new Recovery Accountability and 

Transparency Board and a new Web site—Recovery.gov—to provide information to the public, 

including access to detailed information on grants and contracts made with Recovery Act funds. 

NIJ seeks to fund an evaluation of internet child safety materials used by Internet Crimes 

Against Children (ICAC) task forces that receive funding from the Office of Juvenile Justice and 

Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under the Recovery Act. Specifically, the successful grantee 

will conduct a multisite evaluation of internet child safety materials used by ICAC task forces in 

school and community settings to examine the effectiveness of these materials and identify 

gaps that may exist in this field. The information is needed to help ICAC task forces make 

informed decisions about the best materials available to meet their missions of promoting public 

awareness and prevention. The results will be made available to other ICAC task forces to 

enhance their efforts to address internet crimes against children. 

Note: Absent explicit statutory authorization or written delegation of authority to the contrary, all 

final grant award decisions will be made by the OJP Assistant Attorney General (AAG), who 

may also give consideration to factors including, but not limited to, underserved populations, 

strategic priorities, past performance, and available funding when making awards.

Deadline: Registration 

Registering with OJP’s Grants Management System (GMS) 

Applications must be submitted through OJP’s online Grants Management System (GMS). To 

access the system, go to https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov. Applicants should begin the process 

immediately to meet the GMS registration deadline, especially if this is the first time they have 

used the system. Each application requires a separate GMS registration. The registration 

process for organizations includes: (1) Obtaining a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) 

number; (2) Registering your organization with the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) 

database; and (3) Registering with GMS prior to applying. 

The deadline to register is 11:59 p.m. eastern time on May 18, 2009. 

A DUNS number is required. All applicants under this solicitation must include a DUNS (Data 

Universal Numbering System) number in their application. Applications without a DUNS number 

are incomplete. 

A DUNS number is a unique nine-digit sequence recognized as the universal standard for 

identifying and keeping track of entities receiving Federal funds. The identifier is used for 

tracking purposes and to validate address and point of contact information for federal assistance 

applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. The DUNS number will be used throughout the grant 

life cycle. Obtaining a DUNS number is a free, simple, one-time activity. Obtain one by calling 

1–866–705–5711 or by applying online at http://www.dnb.com/us/. Individuals are exempt from 

this requirement. 

Central Contractor Registration (CCR) is required. In addition to the DUNS number 

requirement, OJP requires that all applicants (other than individuals) for Federal financial 

assistance maintain current registrations in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. 

The CCR database is the repository for standard information about Federal financial assistance 

applicants, recipients, and subrecipients. Organizations that have previously submitted 

applications via Grants.gov are already registered with CCR, as it is a requirement for 

Grants.gov registration. Please note, however, that applicants must update or renew their CCR 

registration at least once per year to maintain an active status. Information about registration 

procedures can be accessed at www.ccr.gov. 

Deadline: Application 

The due date for applying for funding under this announcement is 11:59 p.m. eastern time on 

May 18, 2009. 

Eligibility 

In general, NIJ is authorized to make grants to, or enter into contracts or cooperative 

agreements with, States (including territories), local governments (including federally recognized 

Indian tribal governments that perform law enforcement functions), nonprofit and profit 

organizations (including tribal nonprofit and profit organizations), institutions of higher education 

(including tribal institutions of higher education), and certain qualified individuals. Foreign

governments, foreign organizations, and foreign institutions of higher education are not eligible 

to apply. 

Additional Requirements related to the Recovery Act (including certification 

requirements): 

Reporting on the Use of Funds. In order to be eligible to receive funds under this solicitation, 

applicants must certify that they will satisfy the reporting requirements of section 1512(c) of the 

Recovery Act, which requires detailed reporting (including reporting on subawards) not later 

than ten calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter. Detailed information on 

section 1512(c) appears below, under “Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery 

Act.” A template for the certification is included in Appendix A. Applicants may expect that a 

standard form and/or standard reporting mechanism will be made available at a future date. 

Funding Distribution and Appropriate Use of Funds. Section 1607 of the Recovery Act requires 

either a certification by the Governor or a concurrent resolution of the State legislature 

concerning funds distribution and assurance of appropriate use of funds. States may not receive 

funds under this Recovery Act solicitation unless section 1607 is satisfied. Please reference the 

“OJP Recovery Act Additional Requirements” Web page at 

www.ojp.usdoj.gov/recovery/solicitationrequirements.htm. 

Faith-Based And Other Community Organizations: Consistent with Executive Order 13279, 

dated December 12, 2002, and 28 C.F.R. Part 38, faith-based and other community 

organizations that statutorily qualify as eligible applicants under DOJ programs are invited and 

encouraged to apply for assistance awards to fund eligible grant activities. Faith-based and 

other community organizations will be considered for awards on the same basis as other eligible 

applicants and, if they receive assistance awards, will be treated on an equal basis with all other 

grantees in the administration of such awards. No eligible applicant or grantee will be 

discriminated for or against on the basis of its religious character or affiliation, religious name, or 

the religious composition of its board of directors or persons working in the organization. 

Faith-based organizations receiving DOJ assistance awards retain their independence and do 

not lose or have to modify their religious identity (e.g., remove religious symbols) to receive 

assistance awards. DOJ grant funds, however, may not be used to fund any inherently religious 

activity, such as prayer or worship. Inherently religious activity is permissible, although it cannot 

occur during an activity funded with DOJ grant funds; rather, such religious activity must be 

separate in time or place from the DOJ-funded program. Further, participation in such activity by 

individuals receiving services must be voluntary. Programs funded by DOJ are not permitted to 

discriminate in the provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary’s religion. 

If your organization is a faith-based organization that makes hiring decisions on the basis of 

religious belief, it may be entitled, under the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, 

42 U.S.C. § 2000bb, to receive federal funds and yet maintain that hiring practice, even if the 

law creating the funding program contains a general ban on religious discrimination in 

employment. For the circumstances under which this may occur, and the certifications that may 

be required, please see the section titled, “Funding to Faith-Based Organizations” on the “OJP 

Recovery Act Additional Requirements” Web page at 

www.ojp.usdoj.gov/recovery/solicitationrequirements.htm.

Applicants are also encouraged to review the “Civil Rights Compliance” section on the “OJP 

Recovery Act Additional Requirements” Web page, which can also be found at 

www.ojp.usdoj.gov/recovery/solicitationrequirements.htm. 

American Indian Tribes and Alaska Native Tribes and/or Tribal Organizations: If a grant 

application is being submitted on behalf of a tribe or tribal organization, a current authorizing 

resolution of the governing body of the tribal entity or other enactment of the tribal council or 

comparable government entity authorizing the inclusion of the tribe or tribal organization named 

in the application must be included with the application. 

Specific Information—Recovery Act: Evaluation of Internet Child 

Safety Materials Used by ICAC Task Forces in School and Community 

Settings 

All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds and any modifications or 

additional requirements that may be imposed by law. Applicants also should anticipate 

that awards under the Recovery Act will be one-time awards and accordingly should 

propose project activities and deliverables that can be accomplished without additional 

DOJ funding. 

NIJ expects to make one award of up to $500,000 for a multisite evaluation of internet child 

safety materials that focus on public awareness and/or prevention of internet crimes against 

children, and that are used in schools and community settings by ICAC task forces that receive 

funding under the Recovery Act. At a minimum, the sampling frame must include at least one 

ICAC Task Force that uses each of four identified curricula (Netsmartz, Webwisekids, iSafekids, 

or Ikeepsafe.org). The sampling frame should also include Task Forces that use other internet 

child safety materials not listed above. The goals of this evaluation are: 1) to assess the 

appropriateness, range/scope, reach, and overall quality of a variety of internet child safety 

curricula used by ICAC Task Forces and 2) to develop a knowledge base about how ICAC Task 

Forces disseminate information on internet child safety to and/or through schools and other 

community institutions. A range of evaluation strategies may be employed including but not 

limited to content analysis, concept mapping or process evaluation. In addition, the successful 

grantee will provide recommendations highlighting essential curriculum elements and noting any 

limitations in ICAC Task Force internet child safety materials. This information is needed to help 

ICAC Task Forces make informed decisions about the best materials available to meet their 

missions of public awareness and prevention. 

The sampling frame may draw only from among task forces that are listed in Appendix B. 

The evaluation should at a minimum: 

•	 Examine curriculum content of ICAC Task Force internet child safety prevention and 

awareness programs to determine: 

o	 What sources of information were used to develop the curriculum. 

o	 How the nature and scope of the problem is defined. 

o	 What types of internet child victimization are covered. 

o	 Whether materials are designed to educate diverse audiences. 

OMB No. 1121-0323 

Approval Expires 9/30/2009 7 
U.S. Department of Justice 

Office of Justice Programs 

National Institute of Justice 

o How materials address issues of developmental appropriateness. 

•	 Examine past and/or current evaluations of ICAC Task Force internet child safety 

prevention and awareness curricula to determine: 

o	 The integrity, independence, and rigor of previous or current evaluation 

activities. 

o	 Whether previous evaluation results have been used by the task forces to 

improve their programs. 

The successful applicant should plan to meet with NIJ and OJJDP representatives within 30 

days of award receipt to finalize the sampling frame and project plan. 

In addition, at the conclusion of the grant, the grantee should plan to participate in a meeting to 

be convened by OJJDP with all the ICAC Task Forces for a briefing and dissemination of 

results. 

Evaluation Research: Within applications proposing evaluation research, funding priority will 

be given to experimental research designs that use random selection and assignment of 

participants to experimental and control conditions. When randomized designs are not feasible, 

priority will be given to quasi-experimental designs that include contemporary procedures like 

Propensity Score Matching and Regression Discontinuity Design to address selection bias in 

evaluating outcomes and impacts. 

Evaluations that also include measurements of program fidelity and implementation as part of a 

thorough process assessment are desirable. Measurements of program fidelity should be 

included as part of an assessment of program processes and operations to ensure that policies, 

programs, and technologies are implemented as designed. As one aspect of a comprehensive 

evaluation, assessments of program processes should include objective measurements and 

qualitative observations of programs as they are actually implemented and services are 

delivered. These may include assessment of such aspects as adherence to program content 

and protocol, quantity and duration, quality of delivery, and participant responsiveness. 

Proposed evaluation research designs with multiple units of analysis and multiple 

measurements will also be given priority. Design aspects that contribute to the validity of results 

are necessary to effectively address issues of generalizability and representativeness of 

findings. 

Finally, applications that include cost/benefit analysis will be given priority. NIJ views 

cost/benefit analysis as an effective way to communicate and disseminate findings from 

evaluation research. 

Please note: All applicants under this solicitation must comply with Department of Justice 

regulations on confidentiality and human subjects protection. See the “OJP Recovery Act 

Additional Requirements” Web page at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/recovery/solicitationrequirements.htm. 

What will not be funded: 

1. Provision of training or direct service. 

2. Proposals primarily to purchase equipment, materials, or supplies.

3. Work that will be funded under another specific solicitation. 

Cost of proposed work: NIJ anticipates that up to a total of $500,000 may become available 

for an award made through this solicitation. All NIJ awards are subject to the availability of 

appropriated funds and to any modifications or additional requirements that may be 

imposed by law. NIJ expects to make one award, depending on funds available, the number of 

high-quality applications, and other pertinent factors. 

Applicants should be aware that the total period of an award, including one that receives a nocost extension of the award period, ordinarily will not exceed 3 years. 

A grant made by NIJ under this solicitation may account for up to 100 percent of the total cost of 

the project. See "Cofunding," under "What an Application Must Include." 

Limitation on use of award funds for employee compensation; waiver: No portion of any 

award of more than $250,000 made under this solicitation may be used to pay any portion of the 

total cash compensation (salary plus bonuses) of any employee of the award recipient whose 

total cash compensation exceeds 110% of the maximum annual salary payable to a member of 

the Federal government’s Senior Executive Service (SES) at an agency with a Certified SES 

Performance Appraisal System for that year. For FY 2009, the total cash compensation cannot 

exceed $194,700 ($177,000 [current maximum SES salary] plus [$177,000 times 10%]). (The 

salary table for SES employees is available at www.opm.gov.) 

This prohibition may be waived at the discretion of the Assistant Attorney General for the Office 

of Justice Programs. An applicant that wishes to request a waiver should include a detailed 

justification in the budget narrative for the application. The justification should include: the 

particular qualification and expertise of the individual, the uniqueness of the service being 

provided, the individual’s specific knowledge of the program or project undertaken with the grant 

funds and a statement explaining that the individual’s salary is commensurate with the regular 

and customary rate for an individual with her/his qualifications and expertise, and for the work 

that is to be done. 

Non-Supplanting: For purposes of this Recovery Act solicitation, the general non-supplanting 

requirement of the OJP Financial Guide (Part II, Chapter 3) does not apply. 

Recovery Act: Contracts 

Generally speaking, the Recovery Act places special emphasis on the use of fixed-price 

contracts awarded through competitive procedures. As information becomes available, OJP will 

provide guidance to applicants as to what, if any, particular procurement requirements or 

procedures may apply to contracts awarded with Recovery Act grant funds, apart from those 

that appear in 28 C.F.R. Part 66 and 28 C.F.R. Part 70. 

Recovery Act: Limit on Funds 

The Recovery Act specifically provides that funds may not be used by any State or local 

government, or any private entity, for any casino or other gambling establishment, aquarium, 

zoo, golf course, or swimming pool.

Recovery Act: Use of Funds in Conjunction with Funds from Other Sources 

Recovery Act funds may be used in conjunction with other funding as necessary to complete 

projects, but tracking and reporting of Recovery Act funds must be separate, to meet the 

reporting and other requirements of the Recovery Act and other applicable law. There can be no 

commingling of funds. (See “Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery Act,” below.) 

Accountability and Transparency under the Recovery Act 

Separate Tracking and Reporting of Recovery Act Funds and Outcomes 

Consistent with the special purposes and goals of the Recovery Act, and its strong emphasis on 

accountability and transparency, it is essential that all funds from a Recovery Act grant be 

tracked, accounted for, and reported on separately from all other funds (including DOJ grant 

funds from non-Recovery Act grants awarded for the same or similar purposes or programs). 

Recipients must also be prepared to track and report on the specific outcomes and benefits 

attributable to use of Recovery Act funds. 

The accounting systems of all recipients and subrecipients must ensure that funds from any 

award under this Recovery Act solicitation are not commingled with funds from any other 

source. 

Misuse of grant funds may result in a range of penalties, including suspension of current and 

future funds, suspension or debarment from Federal grants, recoupment of monies provided 

under a grant, and civil and/or criminal penalties. 

Quarterly Financial and Programmatic Reporting 

Consistent with the Recovery Act emphasis on accountability and transparency, reporting 

requirements under Recovery Act grant programs will differ from and expand upon OJP’s 

standard reporting requirements for grants. In particular, section 1512(c) of the Recovery Act 

sets out detailed requirements for quarterly reports that must be submitted within 10 days of the 

end of each calendar quarter. Receipt of funds will be contingent on meeting the Recovery Act 

reporting requirements. 

Under this Recovery Act program, quarterly financial and programmatic reporting will be 

required, and will be due within 10 calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter, 

starting July 10, 2009. 

Programmatic and Financial Reporting 

Periods 

Due Dates 

October- December January 10

The information from grantee reports will be posted on a public Web site. To the extent that 

grant funds are available to pay a grantee’s administrative expenses, those funds may be used 

OMB No. 1121-0323

U.S. Department of Justice 

Office of Justice Programs 

National Institute of Justice 

to assist the grantee in meeting the accelerated time-frame and extensive reporting 

requirements of the Recovery Act. 

Recovery Act grant recipients may expect that the information posted by OJP will identify 

grantees that are delinquent in their reporting. In addition, in keeping with standard OJP 

practice, grant recipients who do not submit required reports by the due date will not be 

permitted to draw down funds thereafter, during the pendency of the delinquency, and may be 

subject to other appropriate actions by OJP, including, but not limited to, restrictions on eligibility 

for future OJP awards, restrictions on drawdowns on other OJP awards, and suspension or 

termination of the Recovery Act award. 

Funding recipients may expect that a standard form and/or reporting mechanism may be 

available. Additional instructions and guidance regarding the required reporting will be provided 

as they become available. For planning purposes, however, all applicants should be aware that 

the Recovery Act section 1512(c) provides as follows: 

Recipient Reports—Not later than 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter, each 

recipient that received recovery funds from a Federal agency shall submit a report to that 

agency that contains– 

(1) the total amount of recovery funds received from that agency; 

(2) the amount of recovery funds received that were expended or obligated to 

projects or activities; and 

(3) a detailed list of all projects or activities for which recovery funds were 

expended or obligated, including– 

(A) the name of the project or activity; 

(B) a description of the project or activity; 

(C) an evaluation of the completion status of the project or activity; 

(D) an estimate of the number of jobs created and the number of jobs 

retained by the project or activity; and 

(E) for infrastructure investments made by State and local governments, 

the purpose, total cost, and rationale of the agency for funding the 

infrastructure investment with funds made available under this Act, 

and name of the person to contact at the agency if there are concerns 

with the infrastructure investment. 

(4) Detailed information on any subcontracts or subgrants awarded by the 

recipient to include the data elements required to comply with the Federal 

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-282), 

allowing aggregate reporting on awards below $25,000 or to individuals, as 

prescribed by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Subawards under Recovery Act Grants 

Reporting; DUNS and CCR. As indicated above, quarterly reporting requirements for Recovery 

Act awards include reporting with respect to subawards. In order to facilitate that reporting, 

award recipients must work with their first-tier subawardees (if any) to ensure that, no later than 

the due date of the award recipient’s first quarterly report after a subaward is made, the 

subawardee has a DUNS number and is registered with the Central Contractor Registration 

OMB No. 1121-0323

National Institute of Justice 

(CCR) database. See “Deadline: Registration,” above, for more information on CCR and DUNS 

numbers. 

Monitoring of subawards. All applicants should bear in mind that any recipient of an award 

under this solicitation will be responsible for monitoring of subawards under the grant in 

accordance with all applicable statutes, regulations, OMB circulars, and guidelines, including the 

OJP Financial Guide. Primary recipients will be responsible for oversight of subawardee 

spending and monitoring of specific outcomes and benefits attributable to use of Recovery Act 

funds. 

Reporting Fraud, Waste, Error, and Abuse 

Each grantee or subgrantee awarded funds made available under the Recovery Act is to 

promptly refer to an appropriate inspector general any credible evidence that a principal, 

employee, agent, contractor, subgrantee, subcontractor, or other person has submitted a false 

claim under the False Claims Act or has committed a criminal or civil violation of laws pertaining 

to fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, gratuity, or similar misconduct involving Recovery Act funds. 

You may report potential fraud, waste, abuse, or misconduct to the U.S. Department of Justice,

Budget Detail Worksheet 

The Budget Detail Worksheet should address the full scope, duration, and cost of the project. 

The Budget Detail Worksheet should include a breakdown of costs associated with each budget 

category, including itemizations and calculations where necessary. 

The budget must be broken down on a year-by-year basis over the length of the project. That is, 

if the proposed project is 3 years, then there should be separate budgets for year one, year two, 

and year three. 

Templates for filling out the Budget Detail Worksheet may be found online at 

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/forms/budget_detail.pdf, OJP Standard Forms & Instructions. If 

you have any questions, please contact the Office of the Chief Financial Officer's Customer 

Service Center at 1–800–458–0786. 

Budget Narrative 

The Budget Narrative is a plain-language description of each of the proposed expenditures 

listed in the Budget Detail Worksheet. It should clearly explain the purpose and reason for all 

expenditures in the budget. There should be no ambiguities about any budget item. The 

narrative should also include details for calculated rates or other figures. 

As with the Budget Detail Worksheet, the Budget Narrative must be broken down on a year-byyear basis. 

Description of the Applicant’s Plan for the Collection of the Data Required for Recovery 

Act Performance Measures 

Indirect Rate Agreement (if applicable) 

Applicants that do not have a federally negotiated indirect cost rate and wish to establish one 

can submit a proposal to their “cognizant” Federal agency. Generally, the cognizant Federal 

agency is the agency that provides the preponderance of direct Federal funding. This can be 

determined by reviewing an organization’s schedule of Federal financial assistance. If DOJ is 

your cognizant Federal agency, obtain information needed to submit an indirect cost rate 

proposal at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/financialguide/part3/part3chap17.htm. 

Other Program Attachments 

These include several forms, available on OJP’s funding page at 

http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/forms.htm. 

Data Archiving Strategy: NIJ requires that each data set resulting from funded research be 

submitted as a grant product or deliverable for archiving with the National Archive of Criminal

U.S. Department of Justice 

Office of Justice Programs 

National Institute of Justice 

Justice Data. (Data sets are to be submitted 90 days before the end of the project period.) 

Applications for NIJ research grants must include a brief (one- or two-page) data archiving 

strategy. For purposes of research replication and extension, the inclusion of only the final data 

set often prevents other researchers from replicating or extending the study because there are 

no original data, intermediate data, or documentation detailing how the data changed 

throughout the project. This data archiving strategy therefore must briefly describe the— 

•	 Anticipated manipulations of original, intermediate, and final data sets (as applicable). 

•	 Methods of documentation of such manipulations. 

•	 Preparation of original, intermediate, and final data sets for archive submission. 

The data archiving strategy should be submitted as an appendix to the application and will NOT 

count toward the 30-page limit. Please label this appendix “Data Archiving Strategy.” 

Page limit: The program narrative section of your application must not exceed 30 doublespaced pages in 12-point font with 1-inch margins. Abstract, statement regarding prior 

submission of a substantially similar proposal, table of contents, charts, figures, appendixes, 

and government forms do not count toward the 30-page limit for the narrative section. 

Cofunding: A grant made by NIJ under this solicitation may account for up to 100 percent of 

the total cost of the project. You must indicate whether you believe it is feasible for you to 

contribute cash, facilities, or services as non-Federal support for the project. Your application 

should identify generally any such contributions that you expect to make and your proposed 

budget should indicate in detail which items, if any, will be supported with non-Federal 

contributions.

Review Process 

OJP is committed to ensuring a standardized process for awarding grants. NIJ reviews the 

application to make sure that the information presented is reasonable, understandable, 

measurable, and achievable, as well as consistent with program or legislative requirements as 

stated in the solicitation. 

Peer reviewers will be reviewing the applications submitted under this solicitation as well. NIJ 

may use either internal peer reviewers, external peer reviewers or a combination of both to 

review the applications under this solicitation. An external peer reviewer is an expert in the field 

of the subject matter of a given solicitation who is NOT a current U.S. Department of Justice 

OMB No. 1121-0323

employee. An internal reviewer is an expert in the field of the subject matter of a given 

solicitation who is a current U.S. Department of Justice employee. Applications will be screened 

initially to determine whether the applicant meets all eligibility requirements. Only applications 

submitted by eligible applicants that meet all other requirements (such as timeliness, proper 

format, and responsiveness to the scope of the solicitation) will be evaluated, scored, and rated 

by a peer review panel. Peer reviewers’ ratings and any resulting recommendations are 

advisory only. In addition to peer review ratings, considerations may include, but are not limited 

to, underserved populations, strategic priorities, past performance, and available funding. 

After the peer review is finalized, the Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), in 

consultation with NIJ, conducts a financial review of all potential discretionary awards and 

cooperative agreements to evaluate the fiscal integrity and financial capability of applicants; 

examines proposed costs to determine if the budget and budget narrative accurately explain 

project costs; and determines whether costs are reasonable, necessary, and allowable under 

applicable Federal cost principles and agency regulations. OCFO also reviews the award 

document and verifies the OJP Vendor Number. 

Absent explicit statutory authorization or written delegation of authority to the contrary, all final 

grant award decisions will be made by the OJP Assistant Attorney General (AAG), who may 

also give consideration to factors including, but not limited to, underserved populations, strategic 

priorities, past performance, and available funding when making awards. 

Additional Requirements 

Successful applicants selected for awards under this Recovery Act solicitation must agree to 

comply with additional applicable requirements prior to receiving grant funding. We strongly 

encourage you to review the list below pertaining to these additional requirements prior to
