About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking grant applications for the Reducing Recidivism for Female Juvenile Delinquents program under the Girls in the Juvenile Justice System grant program. The funding opportunity aims to develop, enhance, or expand intervention programs specifically designed for female juvenile delinquents, with the primary objective of reducing reoffending and addressing the unique challenges faced by girls in the juvenile justice system. Eligible applicants include county and state governments, tribal governments, nonprofits, and educational institutions. The program will prioritize interventions that increase protective factors, provide trauma-informed care, offer mental health services, and create comprehensive support systems for at-risk girls. Key requirements include developing direct service programs that holistically address educational, mental health, and social support needs. The application deadline is October 27, 2025, with the expectation that selected programs will implement targeted interventions to help vulnerable girls achieve long-term stability and success.
Recent federal grant awards under this program have typically ranged from $379,000 to $1,000,000, with project periods generally spanning three years. The funding is intended to support comprehensive initiatives across various locations, with a focus on implementing specialized programs like Girls SEEK, HerPath, and other targeted interventions. Successful applicants will be notified through DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and must electronically accept the grant award. Grant recipients will be required to maintain financial records and supporting documents for three years after submitting the final expenditure report, and must adhere to the Uniform Administrative Requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200. The program emphasizes integrating youth and family partnerships, promoting civil rights and racial equity, and developing strategies that serve girls within their communities and family contexts.
