About this opportunity

This federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) seeks to support states' implementation of innovative and research-based, data-informed policies to improve juvenile justice system outcomes and strategies for reinvesting cost savings into effective prevention and intervention programs. The funding is intended to help states identify and respond to juvenile crime and public safety issues, explore evidence-based or cost-saving strategies, and invest in community-based alternatives to incarceration. Key objectives include reducing recidivism, improving public safety, addressing racial disparities, and reinvesting cost savings. Applications will be evaluated on criteria such as the proposed approach, use of data and evidence, and sustainability planning. The deadline to apply is March 3, 2025.

Recent awards under the Justice Reinvestment Initiative (JRI) program have ranged from approximately $500,000 to $2.5 million over 2-3 year periods, primarily to state-level criminal justice agencies and non-profit organizations. Projects are typically performed at the state or local level where juvenile justice policies are implemented. The Department of Justice continues to be the primary funding agency, with opportunities focused on supporting state and local implementation of evidence-based practices.

Synopsis

This funding opportunity seeks to support states' implementation of innovative and/or research-based, data-informed policies to improve juvenile justice system outcomes and sustainable strategies for reinvesting resulting costs saved or averted into effective juvenile justice prevention and intervention programs.
