From each program’s funding notice. Programs for other kinds of work aren’t listed, and “ruled out” only appears where the notice says so. Check the current notice before you apply: the rules can change each year.
Your city or county can get this money straight from BJA if it is on this year's JAG allocations list, so check that first. It can pay for staff, equipment, supplies, training and information systems for criminal justice work, and it doesn't go through your state.
Money to improve forensic science and medical examiner or coroner services. Local government labs apply directly to the Bureau of Justice Assistance, state labs apply through their state administering agency, and applications are scored against each other.
Your state's administering agency applies for formula funds that flow down to your lab through your state's own process. Contact your state forensic science improvement coordinator early, since state deadlines typically come before the federal deadline. This is different from competitive funds, which labs apply for directly to the federal government.
