JustGrants Continues; Time Burden Remains
The Department of Justice will continue using the JustGrants system (a non‑substantive name update) for grant applications and award management. An estimated 18,793 organizations will use the system, spending on average 1 to 11 hours per award lifecycle process and a total average of 29.17 hours per organization, for a combined public burden of 381,644 hours.
JustGrants Required for FFATA Reporting and Records
JustGrants stores the essential information required to comply with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA) and has been designated by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) as OJP's official system of record for grants activities. State, local, and tribal governments, institutions of higher education, non‑profit organizations, and other grant applicants will use JustGrants for required FFATA data and official grant records.
