Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 16 National Juvenile Justice Data Analysis Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2016 9141) is a discretionary, federally supported cooperative agreement intended to sustain and strengthen OJJDP's core national capacity for analyzing and publicly disseminating juvenile justice data. OJJDP positions this program as its central, primary source for statistical analysis and for making juvenile justice information accessible to practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and the broader public. The overall purpose is to ensure that reliable, timely, and policy-relevant data are routinely produced and shared so the field has a clear picture of what is happening to youth and how systems respond.
The work funded under this program is meant to help OJJDP meet its responsibility to provide "vital data" on several interconnected areas. That includes indicators of juvenile well-being and risk behaviors, patterns and trends in juvenile victimization and offending, and how the juvenile justice system responds to law-violating behavior. In practical terms, this means conducting statistical analyses that can track changes over time, identify emerging issues, and translate complex datasets into clear findings that stakeholders can use. Because the program emphasizes dissemination to the public, it also implies a strong expectation of producing materials and outputs that are understandable, accessible, and usable beyond a narrow technical audience.
A key point in the opportunity description is that the data products and analyses are not purely academic; they are intended to inform juvenile justice policy and practice at the federal, state, and local levels. In other words, the program is designed to support evidence-informed decision-making by giving leaders and practitioners dependable information about youth outcomes, risk factors, victimization, offending, and system processing. By anchoring these analyses in nationally relevant data, OJJDP aims to help the field compare trends across places, assess the implications of policy choices, and better target prevention and intervention strategies.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (USDOJ-OJP-OJJDP), under CFDA 16.540, with an activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaboration on priorities, review of deliverables, or coordination on dissemination and communication strategies.
The maximum award amount listed is $800,000, and OJJDP anticipated making one award. Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and other applicants as clarified in the solicitation's additional eligibility information. The solicitation was posted and created on February 26, 2016, and the application closing date was April 26, 2016.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as support for a national-level analytic and reporting function that OJJDP relies on to translate juvenile justice data into actionable knowledge. It emphasizes rigorous statistical work paired with strong public dissemination, with the clear intent of strengthening how juvenile justice policies and practices are shaped across all levels of government through better information.
