Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Evaluations of Girls Delinquency Programs grant opportunity is a discretionary funding solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on building solid evidence about what works to prevent and reduce delinquency among girls. OJJDP frames the need for this work around a major trend observed over roughly the prior two decades: a dramatic rise in the number of girls entering the juvenile justice system. That trend created uncertainty about what is actually driving the increase, including whether girls delinquency and related risk behavior have become more severe, or whether shifts in policy, enforcement, school discipline, charging practices, or broader social responses have made girls more likely to be referred to the system for behaviors that were previously handled differently. Against that backdrop, the central goal of the solicitation is to support rigorous documentation and measurement of the effectiveness of programs and strategies aimed at girls, especially those designed for delinquency prevention, intervention, and treatment.
In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to fund evaluations that can demonstrate whether specific approaches reduce girls offending and involvement in the juvenile justice system, and whether they reduce underlying risk behaviors linked to delinquency. Rather than simply supporting service delivery, the emphasis is on assessment and evidence generation: documenting program implementation, measuring outcomes, and producing findings that can help OJJDP and the field determine which models are effective and worth replicating or scaling. The solicitation is tied to federal authorization under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117), and it falls under CFDA 16.540, Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States, within the broader funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Funding is provided through a grant mechanism, with an award ceiling of $400,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). The solicitation does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to organizations that may not have flexible resources to contribute to an evaluation budget. Eligible applicants include a wide range of public and nonprofit entities: state governments; city, township, and county governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure reflects the reality that girls delinquency programs may be operated by community-based nonprofits, schools and universities, local jurisdictions, state agencies, and tribal governments, and that meaningful evaluation capacity can exist across all of those settings.
The key timeline details are straightforward: the opportunity was posted on May 25, 2010, and applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 8, 2010. The archived record indicates an archive date of November 7, 2011. Applicants needing the complete solicitation details were directed to the full announcement link, with technical help available through Grants.gov customer support by phone (1-800-518-4726) or email. Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted effort to strengthen the research and evaluation base for gender-responsive delinquency programming, so policy and practice decisions can rely less on assumptions about girls involvement in the system and more on measured program results.
