Women & Girls in the Criminal Justice System - Grants and Funding

This section contains links to Federal funding opportunities.

Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program (JAG)
The JAG Program allows states and local governments to support a broad range of activities to prevent and control crime and to improve the criminal justice system. JAG replaces the Byrne Formula and Local Law Enforcement Block Grant (LLEBG) programs with a single funding mechanism that will simplify the administration process for grantees.

Residential Substance Abuse Treatment for State Prisoners
This Formula Grant Program assists states and units of local government in developing and implementing residential substance abuse treatment programs within state and local correctional and detention facilities.

Women, Gender Differences and Drug Abuse
This program announcement from the National Institute on Drug Abuse encourages gender-based drug abuse research that explores the mechanisms, origins, and consequences of drug abuse, and that develops and assesses gender-based prevention and treatment interventions and services. It also encourages the study of female-specific issues in all areas of drug abuse.

Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations Grant Awards
This awards program was established by the Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations Act of 1992 (29 U.S.C. § 2501 et seq.). It is designed to provide employers and labor unions assistance that leads to the increased participation of women in apprenticeship and nontraditional occupations. Through an annual grant solicitation process, funds are distributed to qualifying community-based organizations.
