Overview:

The Kansas Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (KCJCC) establishes the guidelines for the Federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG).These grant funds are awarded to units of state and local government, Native American Tribes and nonprofit, community and faith-based organizations.

The primary use of JAG is to support the following purpose areas: (1) law enforcement programs; (2) prosecution and court programs; (3) prevention and education programs; (4) corrections and community corrections programs; (5) drug treatment programs; (6) planning, evaluation and technology improvement programs; and (7) crime victim and witness programs.

Grant funds must be requested within the seven purpose areas. Since this grant is competitive, there is a yearly application process with no guarantee of continued funding. In distributing grant funds, priority will be given to applicants who are not eligible to apply directly to the Federal Bureau of Justice Assistance for JAG funding.

Grant Project Period:

Each grant project funded by this program shall be a period of 12 months from July 1, 2011 to June 30, 2012.
