This Cooperative Agreement, awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), is part of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (CFDA 16.540) federal grant program. The project aims to increase the identification and use of evidence-based approaches, as well as promising and best practices, for addressing the needs of at-risk and juvenile justice system-involved youth, their families, and their communities. The $962,180 award to Development Services Group, Inc. (DSG), a woman-owned small business, will fund a systematic curation of juvenile justice research and knowledge in key focus areas, such as implementing quality diversion programs, improving access to community-based mental health supports, and incorporating trauma-informed approaches. DSG will develop translational tools and resources to ensure that non-researcher practitioners and the public can apply this information to create positive change across the juvenile justice continuum. The award has an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2027.
