Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 16 Alaska Native Youth Training and Technical Assistance Project is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The purpose of the grant is to strengthen the ability of tribal communities across Alaska to better serve Alaska Native youth by building practical, coordinated, multi-disciplinary partnerships. The overall emphasis is on helping communities respond to the real-world needs and shared challenges faced by professionals and local leaders who work with Alaska Native youth, while keeping cultural responsiveness at the center of planning and service delivery.
Under this opportunity, the selected provider is expected to build or expand a regional network that connects stakeholders and creates sustained partnerships focused on improving outcomes for Alaska Native youth. The project is designed to support youths healthy functioning in multiple settings, including at home, in school, and in the broader community. A key idea is that stronger coordination across systems and organizations (tribal entities, schools, justice agencies, service providers, and community groups) can reduce gaps in services and make interventions more consistent, culturally grounded, and effective across Alaska.
The work outlined in the announcement centers on several core tasks. The provider must help develop public-private partnerships that can bring additional expertise, resources, and long-term support into community efforts. The project also prioritizes data-driven strategies, meaning the provider should promote approaches that use data to identify needs, guide decision-making, track progress, and adjust strategies based on evidence and measurable results. Another major requirement is meaningful engagement of community, family, and youth stakeholders, not as a one-time consultation but as part of comprehensive strategic and operational planning. In practice, that means helping communities plan both the big-picture direction (strategy, goals, priorities) and the day-to-day implementation details (roles, procedures, coordination, and sustainability).
In addition to direct training and technical assistance, the awardee must develop and disseminate materials that can be used statewide to strengthen local efforts. These materials are intended to improve consistency and quality across communities by sharing tools, guidance, and resources tailored to Alaska Native youth needs. Importantly, OJJDP expects the successful applicant to function as the primary training and technical assistance provider for all OJJDP-funded tribal youth programs in Alaska, positioning the awardee as a central hub for support, coordination, and capacity-building across multiple sites and projects.
The opportunity was posted and created on December 23, 2015, with an application deadline of March 1, 2016. OJJDP anticipated making one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $500,000. Eligible applicants included a broad range of entities such as public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, for-profit organizations (including small businesses), and other eligible applicants as described in the solicitation’s additional eligibility information. The funding falls under CFDA 16.731 and aligns with the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category.
