OJP is committed to advancing work that furthers DOJ’s mission to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis. The Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA), Title I of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, was enacted to protect the public from convicted sex offenders by establishing a set of comprehensive standards and national system for sex offender registration and notification in the United States. Invited applicants to this NOFO have not substantially implemented SORNA and must explain how their proposed projects will bring their jurisdictions closer to substantial implementation of SORNA requirements. This NOFO is exclusively for those who received a letter from BJA to apply.
