Note: Applications for competitive grant awards must be submitted through Grants.gov. Complete instructions on how to register and submit an application can be found at www.grants.gov. If the applicant experiences technical difficulties at any point during this process, please call the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 1-800-518-4726, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except federal holidays. Registering with Grants.gov is a one-time process; however, processing delays may occur and it can take up to several weeks for first-time registrants to receive confirmation and a user password. OJP highly recommends that applicants start the registration process as early as possible to prevent delays in submitting an application package by the specified application deadline.

Note: Grants.gov will forward the application to OJP's Grants Management System (GMS). GMS does not accept executable file types as application attachments. The disallowed file types include, but are not limited to, the following extensions: ".com," ".bat," ".exe," ".vbs," ".cfg," ".dat," ".db," ".dbf," ".dll," ".ini," ".log," ".ora," ".sys," and ".zip."

Notifications regarding known technical problems with Grants.gov and GMS are posted on the OJP funding web page, www.ojp.usdoj.gov/funding/solicitations.htm.

Are you interested in becoming a peer reviewer for BJA?
BJA is currently seeking peer reviewers to assess grant applications in FY 2011. BJA needs reviewers with relevant expertise, from diverse backgrounds, regions and experience in at least one of the following areas:

Reviewers will participate remotely and will not be required to attend any in-person meetings. Participants will review and score 10-20 applications within a 2-week period. Reviewers are also required to participate in an Orientation Call before beginning their review. The purpose of the Orientation Call is to define the role and responsibilities of the peer reviewers as well as the background and purpose of the grant program being peer reviewed. Reviewers are paid $125 for each application reviewed.

If you are interested in becoming a peer reviewer, please submit an up-to-date resume or curriculum vitae, including a valid e-mail address, to: Byrne.Discretionary@usdoj.gov. Please put "Peer Reviewer Candidate Resume" in the subject line.
