Lackawanna County DA
Grants Assistant
Office portfolio from Kim Potter's July 2026 lists, plus open solicitations verified on 2026-07-26.
Start with My week
The default view shows grants you marked Pursue or Watch, plus anything due in the next 7 days. Use List to browse all open RFPs, or Board for the office pipeline.
Two-step federal grants (DOJ / COPS)
Some grants require two separate filings: first a short form on Grants.gov, then the full application in JustGrants a few days later. You cannot skip Grants.gov and apply in JustGrants alone.
If you see “Grants.gov deadline is over”, the short-form date has passed. Check Grants.gov — if that form is already submitted, you can still finish JustGrants before its deadline. If not, that round is closed.
Other grants (for example SAMHSA) use Grants.gov only — one step, no JustGrants.
Office fit badges
- DA can lead — your office can be the applicant
- DA as partner — another agency should lead; DA may join
- Refer out — not DA — pass to police or another agency (example: COPS hiring grants)
- Check eligibility — read the brief or NOFO before investing time
