Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Promoting Child and Youth Safety Community Initiatives and Public Awareness grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2232) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect substantial involvement from OJJDP during the life of the project, such as collaboration on project direction, deliverables, and performance expectations. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is tied to CFDA 16.543, Missing Children s Assistance. It is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 5775 and 5776, which support federal efforts to prevent child victimization and improve child and youth safety initiatives.
The central aim of the program is to help communities design and carry out evidence-based, field-initiated demonstration projects that measurably improve child and youth safety. In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward piloting or demonstrating approaches that have credible evidence behind them (or are grounded in strong research and can be evaluated) and translating those approaches into real community settings. Alongside implementation, the program also emphasizes strengthening public awareness: communities are expected to gain resources and expertise to craft effective public education and outreach strategies about youth safety, with the intent of improving prevention, informed decision-making, and community engagement.
Eligibility is broad across public and nonprofit sectors, allowing applications from state governments; county governments; city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This range suggests OJJDP intended the program to support both government-led initiatives and community-based organizations that are positioned to implement and communicate safety strategies locally, potentially in partnership with schools, justice agencies, youth-serving nonprofits, and tribal entities.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,650,000 and an award floor of $0, indicating OJJDP could make awards up to that maximum amount, with no stated minimum. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the need for applicants to bring non-federal funds to the table and making the program more accessible to communities with limited budgets. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement, applicants should generally anticipate clearer federal expectations around planning, reporting, and coordination than they might see in a standard grant, and they should be prepared to work closely with OJJDP on project execution and dissemination of public awareness products or strategies.
Key dates for the competition include a posted date of May 7, 2009, and an application deadline (original and current closing date) of June 15, 2009. Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. Applicants who needed technical help 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. The opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited FY 2009 solicitation rather than an open, ongoing program.
For those needing the full announcement or assistance accessing it, OJJDP provided program contacts: Will Bronson (202-305-2427) and Lou Ann Holland (202-305-2742). These contacts indicate the program was managed directly within OJJDP, and applicants could reach out for clarification on programmatic fit, expectations for demonstration projects, or the public awareness component, in addition to using the GMS hotline for submission-related issues.
