Eligibility Criteria  [hide this]

This is a competitive solicitation. OAG does not guarantee funding, funding amounts, or funding source based on previous awards. Applicants will be reviewed and scored to determine which programs will be funded.


OAG may use internal peer reviewers, external third-party reviewers, or a combination of both types of reviewers to evaluate applications invited by this RFA. An external third-party reviewer may be a District community member or an expert in the field of the subject matter of a given solicitation who is not a current District of Columbia government employee. An internal reviewer is an expert in the field of a given solicitation’s subject matter who is a current District of Columbia government employee. Applications will be screened initially to determine whether the applicant meets all eligibility requirements.

Only applications submitted by eligible applicants that meet all other requirements will be evaluated, scored, and rated by a review panel. Reviewers’ ratings and any resulting recommendations are advisory only. In addition to reviewer ratings, considerations may include strategic priorities, past performance, and available funding.

The final award decisions rest solely with the Attorney General. After reviewing the recommendations of the review panel, consulting with internal staff, and reviewing information gathered during the review and any other relevant information the Attorney General shall decide which applicants to fund, amounts to be funded, and funding source.
