Criminal Justice Grants

*NOTICE: The Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has temporarily paused collection of Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) information as they evaluate the EEO program. As a result of the evaluation, both  the OCR EEO Program page and associated tool have been removed and are currently unavailable. Until further direction is provided from the U.S. Department of Justice, recipients receiving funding under CJG's federal programs are still required to adhere with requirements outlined in 28 CFR Part 42. The information below provides current recipient EEO requirements for CJG awards:
