Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Engaging Law Enforcement through Training and Technical Assistance to Reduce Juvenile Crime, Victimization, and Delinquency grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2642) is a discretionary federal grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It falls under CFDA 16.541, Part E, which focuses on developing, testing, and demonstrating promising new programs. The core purpose of the opportunity is to strengthen and broaden strategies that actively involve law enforcement in preventing and reducing juvenile crime, youth victimization, and delinquency, with an emphasis on practical, evidence-based policing methods that work specifically in youth-related situations.
At the center of the solicitation is the idea that law enforcement agencies need more than general training to improve youth outcomes; they need comprehensive, targeted training and technical assistance supported by research. Applicants are invited to propose projects that enhance or expand existing approaches that help police address priority juvenile justice issues more effectively. In practice, this means translating research and proven strategies into day-to-day policing, so that both law enforcement leadership and frontline officers have the tools to respond to youth-related incidents in ways that improve safety, reduce harm, and prevent deeper system involvement for young people when appropriate.
The initiative is designed to reach law enforcement at multiple levels, including federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. It envisions a mix of delivery methods to maximize reach and usability: classroom instruction and web-based training, online resources that can be accessed on demand, peer-to-peer networking and interaction that allows agencies to learn directly from each other, and the use of geospatial information system (GIS) technology. The inclusion of GIS signals an interest in helping agencies use mapping and spatial analysis to better understand where youth crime and victimization are concentrated, identify patterns, allocate resources more strategically, and assess whether interventions are producing measurable changes over time.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The program was posted March 31, 2010, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 19, 2010. Applications were to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The program is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 3796ee et seq., establishing its statutory basis within federal juvenile justice and delinquency prevention authorities.
Eligibility is broad and includes public agencies and private organizations. Specifically listed eligible applicants include state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). The solicitation also clarifies that OJJDP welcomes applications from public entities such as state agencies, local government units, public universities and colleges, and tribal institutes of higher learning, as well as private organizations including faith-based, tribal, and community nonprofit organizations. This eligibility structure reflects OJJDPs intent to support a range of organizations capable of delivering training, technical assistance, research support, and technology-enabled learning for law enforcement audiences.
Overall, the opportunity supports projects that build law enforcements capacity to apply evidence-based strategies in youth-focused policing, improve responses to juvenile crime and victimization, and strengthen prevention-oriented practices through training, technical assistance, research, networking, and technology tools. For technical issues accessing materials, the listed support channel was the GMS Helpdesk at 1-888-549-9901.
