Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Field Initiated Research and Evaluation Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2233) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Its purpose is to fund research studies and evaluations that help states and local communities achieve and sustain compliance with the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 2002. In practical terms, OJJDP is looking for field initiated research that tests, documents, and compares promising or effective strategies, programs, and methods that jurisdictions can use to better meet federal juvenile justice compliance expectations.
The central focus of the solicitation is the JJDP Act's four core requirements. Applicants are expected to propose rigorous studies or evaluations that identify what actually works to improve compliance with one or more of these requirements, and to produce findings that can be used by state agencies and local systems to strengthen policy and practice. The opportunity is explicitly framed around helping jurisdictions not only reach compliance but maintain it over time, which means proposals would typically need to address implementation realities, monitoring practices, barriers to compliance, and the operational strategies that lead to sustained adherence.
This grant opportunity was posted on May 8, 2009, with an application deadline of June 15, 2009. The deadline time was extended from 8:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, while keeping the same closing date. Applications had to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. For technical issues, OJP provided a GMS Support Hotline at 1 888 549 9901 (option 3), available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011, reflecting that it was a past competition rather than an open one.
Funding was offered as a grant with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $500,000, and the listed award floor was $0, indicating that award sizes could vary depending on the scope and design of proposed projects. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, consistent with OJJDP's role in supporting juvenile justice policy, compliance, and system improvement through evidence building.
Eligibility was broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Eligible applicants also included public and state controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education under that nonprofit category), and for profit organizations other than small businesses. This range of eligible entities signals that OJJDP was open to proposals from universities, research organizations, public agencies, and private research firms, as long as the work directly supported the compliance related research and evaluation goals described in the solicitation.
The legal authority cited for the initiative is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2009, Public Law 111 8. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, OJJDP provided program contacts: Janet Chiancone, Research Coordinator, at (202) 353 9258, and Elissa Rumsey, Compliance Monitoring Coordinator, at (202) 616 9279. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted research and evaluation funding stream aimed at generating practical, evidence based guidance on how jurisdictions can strengthen their approaches to meeting the JJDP Act's core compliance requirements.
