Opportunity Overview
The Nebraska Commission on Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice, commonly known as the Nebraska Crime Commission, released a supplemental FY 2027 Office of Violence Prevention Grant funding announcement on September 4, 2026. The supplemental funding is for programs focused exclusively on reducing street or gang violence, reducing firearm homicide or injuries, and/or supporting youth employment in high crime areas. All requirements and restrictions in the FY 2027 Office of Violence Prevention Request for Application remain applicable.
Deadline
October 5, 2026 at 5:00 PM. The Nebraska Crime Commission grant-announcements webpage labels the deadline CDT, while the controlling supplemental PDF labels it CST. Both sources publish the same 5:00 PM clock time. Applicants should verify the daylight-versus-standard designation directly in Euna or with the Crime Commission before any deadline-sensitive submission activity.
Funding
Approximately $600,000 is available across the supplemental funding pool. The supplemental announcement does not state a per-applicant maximum. The award period is November 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Eligibility
The supplemental announcement identifies community-based agencies or organizations, political subdivisions, school districts, federally or state-recognized tribes, and combinations of eligible entities as potential applicants, subject to the incorporated FY 2027 OVP RFA requirements and restrictions.
Application and Requirements
Applications must be submitted through Euna. The Crime Commission states that email and paper applications are not accepted. Applicants must use the Supplemental OVP Application Template and follow the FY 2027 OVP RFA requirements. Required components include applicant information, the program table, program narrative, budget and budget narrative, and an authorized signature. Depending on the application, supporting materials may include a Comprehensive Juvenile Community Plan, memoranda of understanding for group applications, an external evaluation, and a logic model.
The incorporated base RFA permits program equipment when it is necessary to perform the funded program and fully justified. Equipment requests require the item and purpose, relevant replacement and prior-request information, and three price quotes. Contracts and fee-for-service arrangements may be allowable when supported by a current legal contract and reasonable market-based rates. No mandatory applicant match was identified in the current supplemental announcement or incorporated FY 2027 RFA, although sustainability and match resources may be considered during review.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. N9+ Fit Score: 25/100 conditional. This is a legitimate Nebraska-administered opportunity with school, nonprofit, local-government and tribal eligibility, but the solicitation does not independently establish a medical-device, remote-examination or clinical-service need. A role for the Nonagon N9+ device and platform would need to be tied directly to a verified applicant-specific violence-prevention program, allowable equipment scope and measurable grant outcomes. Atlas therefore does not force an N9+ or QC Healthcare pursuit from the solicitation alone.
