Training Dates: August 27- October 5, 2026
The Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) responds to Tribal leaders’ requests to improve and simplify the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) grant-making process. Since Fiscal Year (FY) 2010, DOJ has combined existing Tribal Government–specific competitive funding opportunities into one notice of funding opportunity and required only one application from each Tribe or Tribal consortium under CTAS. This approach provides federally recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and victimization issues.
As in prior years, the FY 2026 CTAS refers to the DOJ’s Tribal Government–specific competitive grant programs as purpose areas (PA). Applicants will select the PA(s) that best address(es) Tribes’ concerns related to public safety; criminal and juvenile justice; and the needs of victims of child abuse and neglect and may apply to as many purpose areas as needed (of those purpose areas for which they are eligible to apply).
To assist those interested in applying for a CTAS grant, a comprehensive webinar series is scheduled. All webinars are available to any interested CTAS applicant. The webinars are free of charge.
