Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Nonparticipating State Program, Wyoming (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2208) was a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It was created specifically because Wyoming was not participating in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act) Part B Formula Grants Program at the time. Since participation in that program is a condition for receiving the state formula allocation, Wyoming could not receive its FY 2009 formula amount. Instead of leaving those dollars unused, OJJDP set aside Wyoming's would-be allocation of $570,000 and made it available through a competitive process under this separate initiative, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument.
The main goal of the program was to help Wyoming move toward compliance with the JJDP Act's core requirements while also strengthening the range of custody alternatives available for youth. In practical terms, the solicitation emphasized two connected priorities: first, building and expanding both secure and nonsecure alternatives for juveniles in custody (so jurisdictions are not relying on inappropriate detention placements by default), and second, revising statewide and local policies and implementing procedures that directly address the JJDP Act core requirements. The opportunity was authorized under the JJDP Act, Section 223(d), which provides a mechanism for OJJDP to support delinquency prevention and juvenile justice system improvement efforts through discretionary awards.
Although the notice references the statutory citations rather than spelling out each requirement in plain language, the core requirements cited under 42 U.S.C. 5633(a)(11), (12), (13), and (22) are the standard JJDP compliance areas that focus on how youth are held in custody and how systems protect young people from harmful or inappropriate confinement settings. Applicants were expected to propose activities that align with those compliance categories, meaning the work needed to be tied to concrete improvements in policy, practice, monitoring, and the availability of appropriate placements and services. The solicitation framed this as a systematic improvement effort, not just a single program expansion, implying that applicants needed to show how their plan would produce statewide or broadly replicable change in adherence to the JJDP core requirements.
Funding was offered up to an award ceiling of $570,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing included 16.541, identified as Part E, Developing, Testing and Demonstrating Promising New Programs, placing it within OJJDP's broader portfolio of juvenile justice innovation and system improvement funding.
Eligibility was limited to public and private nonprofit agencies operating in Wyoming. The solicitation specifically looked for applicants that could propose a plan to systematically improve the state's adherence to the JJDP Act core requirements, and it required that proposals include the types of activities described in those four core requirement areas. In other words, it was not an open-ended youth services grant; it was targeted toward organizations capable of helping the state address JJDP compliance gaps and improve custody decision-making and placement options.
Administratively, applications had to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at grants.ojp.usdoj.gov. The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2009, with an application closing date of May 21, 2009. The archived record lists an archive date of November 6, 2011. For applicant support, the GMS Support Hotline was provided (1-888-549-9901, option 3) with weekday hours, and programmatic contact information was listed for Julie Herr, Program Manager, at 202-307-5924.
