Key aspects of this opportunity include: • Protecting federal judges and their immediate family members as defined in statute • Creating and expanding efforts to prevent the release of covered information about at-risk individuals • Supporting federal-state-local partnerships to protect federal judicial officers and their families • Requiring applicants to clearly delineate how grant funds will be used solely for federal judges and describe cost allocation methodologies to ensure appropriate separation of expenses
