2024 Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training Program

The Montana Board of Crime Control (MBCC) is soliciting proposals to implement Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training Programs in Montana. The application process is competitive. Approximately $976,436 in State funding will be available during a two-year (24 month) project period, depending upon Legislative allocations. Additional State funds may become available for future projects. This funding release will have a 24 month time period. However, applicants are allowed to request a shorter time frame for their award periods. If all the grant funds are not awarded out in this award release, another CIT funding opportunity will be released during the 24 month time frame. However, if all of the funds are awarded out, there will not be another MBCC CIT funding opportunity released until March/April of 2026.

Project periods may not start earlier than 06/01/2024. Project period end date will end by 5/31/2026. Applicants may submit project period end dates that end after a one year period (5/31/2025) if a full 24 month award period is not wanted.

Applicants having questions or requiring clarification or interpretation of any section within this opportunity must address these issues via the email address listed above. Clear reference to the application section and item in question must be included in the request. Written responses to all questions received by the deadline will be posted in the Opportunity Details section of this application. Applicants should consult the Question Submission responses prior to posting a question to avoid duplication and prior to submitting an application to avoid missing potentially assistive material. Any other form of interpretation of this application will not be binding upon MBCC.

Eligible applicants are limited to local governments, tribal governments, non-profit law enforcement organizations, and non-profit organizations. Awards to local governments, tribal governments, non-profit law enforcement organizations and non-profit organizations will be provided based on MCA 44-7-110 requirements.
