Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Mentoring Research Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on strengthening the evidence base for mentoring as a strategy to prevent juvenile delinquency. OJJDP is looking to deepen what is known about which mentoring program features actually drive positive outcomes for disadvantaged youth. Although mentoring is widely viewed as promising, OJJDP notes that more rigorous evaluation is needed to pinpoint the program components that are necessary for meaningful youth development and delinquency prevention.
A central goal of this solicitation is to fund an evaluation that directly compares paid mentors to volunteer mentors within an existing mentoring program. The funded evaluator is expected to conduct both a process evaluation and an outcome evaluation. The process evaluation would document and analyze how each mentoring model is implemented in real-world settings, such as recruitment and screening, training, supervision, mentor-mentee matching practices, service dosage and contact frequency, and program fidelity. The outcome evaluation would measure how well each approach performs in preventing delinquency and supporting positive youth outcomes, enabling OJJDP to assess whether paid mentoring models produce different (or stronger) results than volunteer-based models and under what conditions.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2192 and aligns with CFDA 16.726 (Juvenile Mentoring Program), within the Law, Justice, and Legal Services activity category. The award ceiling is $3,500,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants include a broad range of entities, including state, county, city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category); and for-profit organizations other than small businesses.
Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/ by the closing date of June 2, 2009 (the opportunity later carried an archive date of November 6, 2011). For technical help with submission through GMS, applicants were directed to the 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. For programmatic questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Michael Shader, Grant Program Specialist, at (202) 616 2605.
