About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs funds juvenile justice delinquency prevention and intervention programs under CFDA 16.541, with the most recent grant award dated October 1, 2014. This program is effectively inactive for new applicants—no grant opportunities have been posted since July 2017, and the award cadence collapsed dramatically after 2010, dropping from 362 awards that year to single-digit annual volumes by 2012–2014 before ceasing entirely.
The program historically funded community-based alternatives to institutional confinement, youth diversion initiatives, gang prevention and intervention, family strengthening programs, aftercare and reintegration services, and advocacy for youth impacted by the juvenile justice system. Recent awards exemplify this scope: the Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program received multiple regional grants in 2013 ranging from $322 thousand to $325 thousand; the Second Chance Act Juvenile Offender Demonstration Project received $1.006 million in 2010; gang intervention and reentry programs such as the Gang Intervention Team: Re-Entry Development for Youth received $6.031 million; and the Center on Coordinated Assistance for States received an $8.3 million cooperative agreement in 2014 for technical assistance.
The program distributed $1.04 billion in combined federal dollars across 2,136 awards between 1990 and 2014. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs funded 2,131 awards totaling $1.03 billion, dominating the portfolio. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (84 percent, 1,795 awards) with a smaller share of Cooperative Agreements (16 percent, 341 awards). Recent awards ranged from under $100 thousand to multi-million-dollar initiatives, with typical Project Grants in the $250 thousand to $500 thousand range and larger cooperative agreements supporting national training and technical assistance networks.
The last posted opportunity (OJJDP-2017-13060, due July 24, 2017) targeted nonparticipating states under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, limiting eligibility to Nebraska and Wisconsin and private nonprofit agencies and local public agencies. No subsequent solicitations appear in the source material. Do not pursue this program for current funding unless a new NOFO has been posted after October 2017.
