Full Description

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY 2025 Forensic Ballistics and Higher Education Program. This program enables public and state-controlled institutions of higher education to partner with local law enforcement and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to develop or build upon current specialized curricula that provide comprehensive forensic education in firearm ballistics and crime gun intelligence (CGI). Since foundational curricula in crime gun intelligence, National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) operations, and forensic ballistics have already been developed and piloted, this NOFO will support hands-on training for students to gain proficiency and competency in firearms evidence processing, ballistic analysis using NIBIN, CGI generation, and investigative methodologies that support criminal apprehension and conviction. The program will increase the pipeline of trained professionals entering the forensic science and law enforcement workforce while building sustainable partnerships between higher education and law enforcement agencies to combat violent gun crime. This funding opportunity will expand geographic reach and create replicable frameworks for national dissemination.

The U.S. Department of Education, through the Institute of Education Sciences’ National Center for Special Education Research, is seeking applications under Assistance Listing Number 84.324S to support state agencies in leveraging their Statewide Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDSs) to generate evidence that informs education policy and program decisions for learners with or at risk for disabilities. Applications must be submitted via Grants.gov by October 1, 2026, with an optional letter of intent due by September 3, 2026. The solicitation targets institutions capable of conducting rigorous research using existing SLDS data, potentially augmented by primary data collection, to produce actionable findings that improve learner and educator outcomes in areas such as literacy, STEM, and social-emotional development. Proposals must align with the Standards for Excellence in Education Research (SEER 27), including domains on objectivity, relevance, open science, and intervention research, and must comply with 2 CFR 200, the Uniform Guidance, and federal civil rights regulations. The maximum award amount is $1,200,000, with an anticipated award period starting between July and September 2027. Applicants must provide a project narrative limited to 15 pages and include mandatory appendices covering the Data Sharing and Management Plan, alignment with SEER standards, and Letters of Agreement with data providers, all submitted in a single PDF with adherence to formatting rules such as 12-point font, single spacing, and 1-inch margins. Key personnel must have persistent identifiers (e.g., ORCID), complete research security training within the prior year, and certify non-participation in Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs and absence of Confucius Institute affiliations, as mandated by the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Financial and research compliance will be monitored through audits, public access to publications via ERIC, and data sharing requirements, with data to be publicly archived no later than five years after the grant end date or upon publication, whichever comes first. Evaluation is based on scientific merit determined through peer review, alignment with IES research priorities, past performance on federal awards, and adherence to all federal requirements including data management, research security, and public access policies. The award is not based on cost competitiveness but on technical excellence and programmatic relevance, and the Department retains authority to impose conditions or withhold funds due to non-compliance, inadequate data access, financial instability, or prior poor performance.

South Monterey County School Districts Reorganization and UnificationThe proposed reorganization unifies Greenfield Union Elementary School District and Greenfield High School into a new Greenfield Unified School District, and combines King City Elementary School District, King City High School, Pinnacle Coastal Valley High School, and Portola-Butler Continuation High School into a new King City Unified School District. This change dissolves the existing South Monterey County Joint Union High School District, which currently oversees the high schools. The reorganization does not alter physical infrastructure or student enrollment and maintains all current educational programs and services. The move is intended to streamline administrative structure, enhance educational quality, ensure fiscal responsibility, and provide equitable access to resources by aligning district boundaries with community needs. The beneficiaries of this reorganization are students within the affected areas and local taxpayers, who are expected to benefit from more cohesive governance and potentially improved resource allocation. The initiative aligns with statewide goals for school district unification in California, which prioritize academic excellence, efficient use of funding, and responsiveness to demographic and community shifts. The California Department of Education is overseeing the process, with primary contacts including an Education Administrator and a Chief Business Official. No physical changes or enrollment impacts are anticipated, and the unified districts will continue operating within existing frameworks while enhancing administrative coordination and long-term planning capacity.

The Bureau of Justice Assistance is offering funding through the FY 2026 Daniel Anderl Judicial Security and Privacy Program to support states, local governments, and tribal entities that perform law enforcement functions in safeguarding federal judges and their immediate family members. The program addresses the vulnerability caused by publicly accessible state and local records that contain personal information about at-risk individuals connected to federal judges, which can lead to threats or reprisals.

Existing judicial security programs must provide detailed cost allocation methodologies to ensure compliance. All expenses must directly support the protection of federal judges, and any shared costs affecting other judicial personnel must be accurately tracked and excluded from grant reimbursement. The solicitation, identified as O-BJA-2026-172661, was posted on July 23, 2026, with applications due by September 3, 2026.
