The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) is offering the FY24 National Sexual Assault Kit Initiative (SAKI) grant to support jurisdictions in addressing unsubmitted sexual assault kits (SAKs) and improving investigations and prosecutions related to these cases. The initiative aims to provide resources for jurisdictions, including rural and tribal areas, to test unsubmitted and partially tested SAKs, collect DNA samples from qualifying individuals, and develop policies for arrestee collections where legally permissible. This funding is crucial for enhancing law enforcement capabilities and reducing violent crime, with grants ranging from $0 to $2,500,000 and an expected 29 awards to be made. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by August 1, 2024, and can reach out to the OJP Response Center at grants@ncjrs.gov for further information.
