Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2008 Tribal Youth Program (TYP) Juvenile Accountability Discretionary Grants opportunity is a discretionary federal grant program run by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to help federally recognized tribal governments build or improve programs that respond to juvenile delinquency in ways that emphasize accountability while also strengthening the tribe's overall juvenile justice system. The central idea is to support tribal efforts that ensure youth are held responsible for delinquent behavior in a structured, fair, and culturally appropriate manner, while also improving the capacity of tribal justice partners (such as tribal courts, probation, law enforcement, detention, prevention services, and related community-based supports) to manage juvenile cases effectively.
Funding is provided under statutory authority at 42 U.S.C. Section 3796ee-1, and tribes can use grant funds to work within one or more of seventeen designated TYP Juvenile Accountability Discretionary Grant (JADG) Program Purpose Areas. While the notice does not list those areas in the excerpt provided, the structure indicates applicants are expected to select specific, allowable focus areas and design projects that directly align with them. In practical terms, that usually means proposing targeted system improvements or service components that increase accountability outcomes for youth (for example, improving case processing, supervision, sanctions and incentives, restorative approaches, or coordinated services) and reinforcing the infrastructure needed for a functioning juvenile justice response.
This opportunity is categorized as a grant (not a contract) and falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity area. The CFDA number is 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). The award ceiling is listed at $300,000, with no stated award floor, meaning proposals could request up to $300,000 and potentially less depending on the project design and OJJDP decisions. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants would need to plan for and document an appropriate match according to the full solicitation rules.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments. The posting date and creation date were April 29, 2008. The original and current closing date for applications was June 13, 2008, and the opportunity was archived on July 13, 2008. For help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Al Roddy (technical support) at 202-616-4506, with an email noted in the source text but not fully shown.
