Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Tribal Youth Field Initiated Research and Evaluation Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2235) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It is designed to support field initiated research and evaluation studies that expand what is known about tribal youth and the conditions that shape their lives. The central focus is on building practical, evidence based knowledge about the experiences, strengths, and needs of tribal youth, their families, and their communities, with the ultimate goal of identifying what actually works to reduce risks for juvenile delinquency and victimization in tribal settings.
A key priority in this solicitation is evaluation research. OJJDP signals strong interest in proposals that assess delinquency prevention, intervention, and treatment programs serving tribal youth, especially studies that can determine whether programs are effective or at least promising based on credible evidence. The solicitation also highlights culturally grounded approaches, specifically including programs that help tribal youth deepen cultural knowledge and awareness. In other words, the program is not only looking for general youth justice evaluations, but for studies that take tribal community context seriously and examine how culturally relevant strategies may contribute to better outcomes.
The award mechanism is a grant, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program) under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category. The maximum award amount listed is $500,000, with no stated minimum award (award floor $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make the funding more accessible for applicants that may not have nonfederal funds available to contribute.
Eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, county governments, and city or township governments. It is also open to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education as a category under that specific eligibility line) as well as for profit organizations that are not small businesses. This mix of eligible applicants reflects the expectation that strong proposals could come from tribal governments directly, public agencies working in partnership with tribal communities, or independent research and evaluation organizations with the capacity to design and carry out rigorous studies in real world settings.
The solicitation was posted May 8, 2009, with an application deadline of June 15, 2009. The deadline time was extended on the same date to 11:59 p.m. (with the date unchanged). Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. For technical submission help, the listing provides 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 access issues related to the full announcement, points of contact include Janet Chiancone, Research Coordinator, at (202) 353 9258 and Patrick Dunckhorst, Program Manager, at (202) 514 4158.
Finally, the solicitation notes its statutory authorization under 42 U.S.C. 5665 and 5667. The opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011, which indicates it is no longer open for applications, but the details remain useful as a reference point for understanding OJJDP priorities and the types of research and evaluation projects the agency has sought to fund regarding tribal youth delinquency and victimization prevention.
