Mandatory Applicant Technical Assistance Session
All local government applicants should have attended a mandatory Applicant Technical Assistance Session to learn about the program requirements and application process.
VERY Important : The application procedure for the CT Local JAG Program is not the same as the application process used for the USDOJ Local Direct JAG program . (The CT Local JAG Program is a separate program administered by OPM; whereas the Local Direct JAG is administered by the USDOJ.)
-
The CT Local JAG Program does not use the federal GMS portal or GRANTS.GOV.
-
The CT Local JAG Program will use a new web-based grant application system that is separate and different from the federal grant application portals.
The CT Local JAG Program is funded by the pass-through component of the State’s JAG Formula Grant. The State must pass-through 39% of the State Formula Jag Grant to local governments. The percentage of "pass-through" is established by USDOJ and based on the total criminal justice expenditures by the state and units of local government.
The CT JLocal JAG Program is one of three programs supported by the federal Byrne JAG funds. Please view the PowerPoint Presentation for a detailed explanation of the eligibility requirements for the three JAG programs--State Formula JAG, Local Pass-Through JAG and USDOJ Local Direct JAG. |
