About this opportunity
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking applications for a cooperative agreement to establish and maintain the National Mentoring Resource Center, which will provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to OJJDP mentoring grantees while supporting the broader mentoring field. Eligible applicants include for-profit organizations, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and both public and private higher education institutions. The center must maintain a comprehensive website and deliver ongoing TTA services to grantees implementing evidence-based mentoring practices aligned with the Elements of Effective Practice for Mentoring standards. Evaluation will assess organizational capacity, program quality, merit of the proposed approach, budget reasonableness, and risk factors, with final award decisions made by the Assistant Attorney General. The application deadline is May 8, 2026, with an extension previously granted due to UEI system issues in Grants.gov.
Specific award values and budget ranges are not detailed in the opportunity announcement, though historical mentoring program awards under CFDA 16.726 have ranged from approximately $400,000 to $28,000,000. The cooperative agreement will support a multi-year project period typical of OJJDP awards, with services delivered on a national basis to reach OJJDP grantees across all states and territories. Successful applicants must comply with Uniform Administrative Requirements (2 C.F.R. Part 200) and accept or decline awards within 45 days of notification through the JustGrants system. Preapplication coordination is required, and applicants should consult their state's single point of contact regarding E.O. 12372 compliance, where applicable.
Synopsis
This NOFO will support OJJDP mentoring grantees and the mentoring field more broadly by maintaining the OJJDP National Mentoring Resource Center website and providing training and technical assistance (TTA) to OJJDP grantees.
