Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 13 National Mentoring Resource Center (NMRC) grant opportunity is a discretionary, cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its purpose is to strengthen and scale effective youth mentoring as a strategy to prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency. Through this solicitation, OJJDP sought a single organization to build and operate a national-level resource center that would serve the broader mentoring field by packaging practical tools, training, and reference materials, while also pushing organizations toward evidence-based and research-based mentoring approaches.
At the center of the project is the development of the OJJDP National Mentoring Resource Center itself. The selected applicant would be responsible for creating comprehensive mentoring resources that mentoring organizations can use to improve how they design, implement, manage, and expand mentoring programs. The NMRC is meant to function as a hub: collecting and translating research into usable guidance, producing training and support materials, and helping programs adopt proven practices rather than relying on informal or inconsistent mentoring models. The overarching goal is capacity building across the mentoring ecosystem so that local and national mentoring providers are better equipped to deliver safe, effective, and measurable mentoring services.
The opportunity was funded under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2013 (Pub. L. No. 113-6) and is associated with CFDA number 16.726 (Juvenile Mentoring Program). OJJDP anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000, and the award ceiling was also $1,000,000 (with no stated minimum award floor). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. OJJDP also indicated it welcomed joint applications, allowing multiple eligible entities to apply together as long as one organization was clearly designated as the primary applicant for official communication, award receipt, and grant management responsibilities, with the others listed as co-applicants.
Administratively, the funding opportunity number was OJJDP 2013 3618. The solicitation was posted on June 7, 2013, and the application closing date was July 23, 2013 (with the archive date listed as August 22, 2013). The activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting the program’s public safety and delinquency prevention focus.
For applicant support, OJJDP directed questions and technical assistance requests to the Justice Information Center (JIC). Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically or needed help understanding solicitation requirements could contact JIC by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or through live web chat during stated business hours, with extended hours on the solicitation close date.
