Solicitation Requirements

The Solicitation Requirements contained in the sections below represent statutory and regulatory requirements in addition to those explained in each solicitation. Applicants selected for awards must agree to comply with these additional legal requirements upon acceptance of an award. OJP encourages applicants to review the information pertaining to these additional requirements prior to submitting an application.

Criminal Penalty for False Statements

False statements or claims made in connection with OJP grants may result in fines, imprisonment, and debarment from participating in federal grants or contracts, and/or other remedy available by law.

Suspension or Termination of Funding

OJP may suspend funding in whole or in part, terminate funding, or impose other sanctions on a recipient for the following reasons:

  • Failing to comply substantially with the requirements or statutory objectives of the appropriate Act, program guidelines issued thereunder, or other provisions of federal law.
  • Failing to make satisfactory progress toward the goals, objectives, or strategies set forth in the application.
  • Failing to adhere to the requirements in the agreement, standard conditions, or special conditions.
  • Proposing or implementing substantial plan changes to the extent that, if originally submitted, the application would not have been selected for funding.
  • Failing to submit reports.
  • Filing a false certification in this application or other report or document.

Before imposing sanctions, OJP will provide reasonable notice to the recipient of its intent to impose sanctions and will attempt to resolve the problem informally. Hearing and appeal procedures will follow those in DOJ regulations in 28 CFR Part 18.
