DOJ Grants Financial Guide

The DOJ Grants Financial Guide (the “Guide”) serves as the primary reference manual to assist BJA award recipients in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility to safeguard grant funds and ensure funds are used for the purposes for which they were awarded. It compiles a variety of laws, rules, and regulations that affect your award's financial and administrative management. Recipients (and subrecipients) should also refer to their award terms and conditions to determine the specific requirements that apply to their award. The underlying laws and regulations are referenced as much as possible.

The Guide should be the starting point for all recipients and subrecipients of DOJ grants and cooperative agreements in ensuring the effective day-to-day management of awards. The Guide was last updated September 2025.

  • Performance Measurement Tool (PMT)

    Performance reporting is the grant management process where award recipients provide regular narrative and numerical updates on award activities, often through reporting on performance measures. Performance measurement is the regular collection of data to assess whether the goals, objectives, and desired results of the program are being achieved. It is a way for award recipients and OJP to know how an award is progressing quantitatively and whether any additional assistance is indicated.

  • Automated Standard Application for Payment (ASAP) System

    The Automated Standard Application for Payments (ASAP) system allows entities receiving federal funds to draw funding securely from pre-authorized accounts established by the agency issuing the payment. This reduces the time spent waiting for grant funds—many recipients get their funding the same or next business day.
