This program is no longer actively issuing new awards. The portfolio spans 24 grants awarded between May 2000 and October 2011, with a concentration of seven awards in 2010 and sporadic single or dual awards in other years. No grant opportunities have been posted recently; the last award was over fourteen years ago.
The program funds demonstration projects and research initiatives that bring together service providers—law enforcement, mental health professionals, health care providers, early childhood educators—into comprehensive service delivery systems serving children exposed to violence. Awards support both implementation of community demonstration projects and national research on the scope and efficacy of these interventions. Representative grants include the Shelby County Project Safe Futures ($159,099), the Multnomah County Children Exposed to Violence Project ($159,349), the Children Exposed to Violence Demonstration Project ($420,158), and the National Study of Children's Exposure to Violence Follow-Up ($299,903).
Funding is concentrated entirely within OJJDP. The program distributed $8.7 million in federal dollars across 24 awards, with a non-federal cost-share of $100 thousand bringing total obligated funding to $8.8 million. Award magnitudes ranged from approximately $150 thousand to $1 million, with a typical award in the $300 thousand to $700 thousand range for the major demonstration initiatives.
The portfolio is predominantly Cooperative Agreements (19 awards, 79 percent) with a smaller share of Project Grants (5 awards, 21 percent). Cooperative Agreements typically supported multi-year demonstration site implementation, while Project Grants supported research and national-scope studies.
Do not pursue this program. No new funding has been obligated since 2011, and no recent opportunities are posted.
