Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Fellowship Program on Tribal Youth Justice (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2781) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It was designed as a fellowship-style cooperative agreement meant to strengthen the federal government’s working relationship with federally recognized tribes by building tribal capacity and advancing the field of tribal youth justice. The central idea was to support experienced individuals who could provide leadership and practical expertise that would translate into real improvements in youth justice policy, practice, and workforce skills in tribal contexts.
The fellowship targeted professionals who already had strong, relevant experience in tribal youth justice, including practitioners, researchers, and trainers. By funding an individual fellow rather than an organization, OJJDP aimed to bring specialized knowledge directly into efforts that shape how tribal youth justice work is supported, guided, and improved at the federal level and in partnership with tribes. The program’s emphasis was not only on professional development for the fellow, but also on producing broader benefits such as better-informed federal approaches, stronger training and technical assistance, and more effective collaboration around the needs of tribal children and youth.
This opportunity fell under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and was tied to CFDA number 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). Awards were to be made through a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that OJJDP expected substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborative planning, coordination, or ongoing guidance rather than a purely hands-off grant relationship. The maximum award amount listed was $125,000, with no stated minimum award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility for applying was limited to individuals. The solicitation was posted on June 18, 2010, and applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 19, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on November 6, 2011. The authorizing authority cited for the program was the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117). For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the notice directed them to Grants.gov customer service by phone or email.
