Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 14 Practitioner Researcher Partnership Mentoring Children of Incarcerated Parents Demonstration Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) designed to improve how mentoring programs serve youth with incarcerated parents. The central idea is that parental incarceration can expose children to a mix of individual and environmental risks, but the effects are not simple or uniform because families impacted by incarceration are diverse and outcomes vary based on many factors. OJJDP is funding a demonstration effort to strengthen existing mentoring services for this specific population and to build clearer evidence about what mentoring approaches work best, for whom, and under what conditions.
A key requirement is that applicants must apply as a practitioner-researcher partnership. In practice, that means a service provider (the practitioner organization that runs or delivers mentoring) must team with an evaluator or research institution (such as a university or research organization) to jointly design improvements to mentoring practice and then test those improvements through a rigorous study. OJJDP separates the work into two linked award categories: Category 1 supports program development and implementation (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3795), and Category 2 supports the evaluation (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3796). Applicants must apply under only one category, but they must document in the application abstract that they have a partner committed to applying under the other category. Category 1 applicants must name their corresponding Category 2 evaluator partner, and Category 2 applicants must name their corresponding Category 1 practitioner partner. This structure is meant to ensure the program model and the evaluation are aligned from the start rather than bolted on later.
The program expects applicants to enhance an existing mentoring program model rather than create something entirely from scratch. The solicitation calls for the mentoring model to incorporate changes across eight core elements of mentoring practice referenced in the announcement, and it must be implemented across multiple sites. Multi-site implementation is not optional; it is built into the demonstration concept so that the approach can be tested in more than one setting and the results are more informative than a single-site pilot. On the evaluation side, OJJDP is explicitly asking for a rigorous, random assignment experimental design conducted across multiple sites, signaling a strong emphasis on producing high-quality causal evidence about the impact of the enhanced mentoring approach on participating youth.
In terms of funding structure and basic logistics, OJJDP anticipated making two total awards under this opportunity, one for the program development/implementation category and one for the evaluation category. The award ceiling listed is $2,500,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services. The program is connected to the Juvenile Mentoring Program CFDA number 16.726. OJJDP also notes it may choose to make awards from this solicitation in future fiscal years depending on application merit and the availability of appropriations.
Eligibility is broad but structured. Eligible applicants include states and territories, units of local government (including county and city or township governments), federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities), small businesses, and public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education). A notable condition is that for-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. Regardless of entity type, the partnership requirement is central: the applicant must be part of a two-organization team consisting of a practitioner/service provider and an evaluator/research partner, with each partner submitting under the complementary category.
The timeline information in the source data reflects that the opportunity was posted on March 25, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 27, 2014, and an archive date of June 26, 2014. The authorizing language cited in the announcement is paragraph (2) under the Juvenile Justice heading in the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-67, 128 Stat. 5, 64). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, OJJDP directed inquiries to the Justice Information Center (JIC) by phone, email, or web chat during specified business hours, with extended hours on the close date.
