Excerpt
Excerpt: A Message From the Director. I am pleased to announce the second annual Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Open Solicitation competition. In my travels across the country, I often hear the same issue voiced in many different ways: the Federal Government needs to demystify the grant-making process and open it up to new ideas from State, local, and tribal communities. In response to these requests, BJA initiated the Open Solicitation Program in 1997. We limited the solicitation to the areas of greatest need as reported by our constituents and asked for concept papers on selected topics suggested by practitioners. State, local, and tribal governments and agencies were invited to submit a six-page concept paper describing innovations they would like to try in their communities. They, in turn, reached out within their communities and proposed building partnerships with schools, social service agencies, private-sector organizations, and virtually every other type of institution with a stake in safe and vibrant communities. BJA received more than 1,700 concept papers from every level of government and from every component of the criminal justice system. Our first year?s experience with the Open Solicitation Program has reinforced my conviction that Washington can learn much by listening to America?s communities. With this solicitation BJA continues to encourage, support, and publicize local innovations and to build safe and healthy communities.
