Pdf Summary

This document is the official Utah Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) application and certification package administered by the Utah Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice (CCJJ), under federal funding from the U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). It provides a detailed framework for agencies applying for federal criminal justice funds for fiscal year 2021.

Key elements include:

1. <strong>Application Requirements:</strong> Agencies must submit a project narrative clearly identifying the problem(s) to be addressed with supporting data, explain how grant funds will be used to solve these issues, and provide a timeline of project milestones. A detailed budget covering personnel, fringe benefits, contract services, equipment, supplies, travel, and indirect costs must be included.

2. <strong>Indirect Costs:</strong> Applicants must choose whether to waive or request indirect costs under new federal guidelines, with options to request up to a federally approved rate or a 10% minimum.

3. <strong>Grant Conditions and Assurances:</strong> Agencies commit that federal JAG funds will supplement, not supplant, state/local funds. Compliance with federal rules on accounting, auditing, nondiscrimination, travel policies, contracting, and reporting is mandatory. Agencies must maintain records, submit timely reports including financial, narrative, and performance data, and comply with audit requirements.

4. <strong>Civil Rights Compliance:</strong> Applicants ensure adherence to all civil rights laws and nondiscrimination policies, including submission of an Equal Employment Opportunity Plan if required.

5. <strong>Prohibitions and Certifications:</strong> Funding may not support jails with Pay-to-Stay programs or be used for land purchase or construction. Agencies certify that they are not debarred or suspended from federal funding and certify compliance with lobbying and drug-free workplace laws.

6. <strong>Additional Policies:</strong> Cover confidentiality of victim information, rights related to copyrights and patents from grant-funded projects, conflict of interest policies, and protection provisions for victims of sexual offenses.

7. <strong>Project Administration:</strong> Subgrantees must appoint a Program Director responsible for program management, reporting, and compliance with conditions.

Overall, the document sets forth the administrative, financial, legal, and ethical requirements that must be conformed to in order to receive and effectively manage Utah’s federally administered JAG funds for criminal justice projects.
