Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 16 Juvenile Drug Courts Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to support OJJDP's broader vision of keeping children healthy, educated, and free from violence, while ensuring that any interaction youth have with the juvenile justice system is uncommon, equitable, and ultimately beneficial to their long-term wellbeing. Rather than directly funding juvenile drug court operations in a single jurisdiction, this opportunity focuses on strengthening the field through training and hands-on technical assistance that helps communities build and improve juvenile drug courts for youth with substance use issues.
The core purpose of the grant is to fund a provider that can deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) to key government and community stakeholders, including states, state and local courts, local units of government, and tribal governments. The intent is to increase the capacity of these jurisdictions to develop new juvenile drug courts where appropriate, sustain existing courts, and enhance program quality and effectiveness. In practice, this kind of support typically includes helping sites adopt evidence-informed drug court practices for adolescents, improve multidisciplinary team coordination, strengthen screening and assessment approaches for substance use and related behavioral health needs, and refine policies and procedures that promote fair, developmentally appropriate responses for youth.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement from the federal agency in guiding or collaborating on the work as it is carried out. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA number is 16.585. The opportunity was posted on December 7, 2015, with an application deadline of February 8, 2016.
Funding is expected to be concentrated in a single award, with OJJDP anticipating one award total. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $1,000,000. Because only one award is expected, applicants would typically need to propose a national or broad multi-jurisdictional approach to TTA that can reach and effectively support a wide range of courts and governmental entities, including tribal communities.
Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The eligibility list also includes an "others" category, with the caveat that applicants should consult the solicitation's additional eligibility language for clarification. This range of eligible entities reflects the nature of TTA work, which is often led by universities, research and policy organizations, or specialized technical assistance providers with experience in juvenile justice, substance use treatment, and court-based interventions.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at improving how jurisdictions respond to substance-abusing youth within the juvenile justice system by enhancing juvenile drug court capacity, consistency, and quality. The emphasis on training and technical assistance signals an intent to spread effective practices, support implementation and sustainability, and help courts and partner agencies deliver responses that are developmentally appropriate and more likely to produce positive outcomes for young people and their families.
