Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Field Initiated Research and Evaluation (FIRE) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention focused on strengthening the juvenile justice system through research and evaluation. The central purpose of the program is to fund studies that examine how the juvenile justice system responds to juvenile delinquency and to generate practical, evidence-based answers that can shape policy decisions and identify concrete ways to improve system performance. In other words, OJJDP is looking for field-initiated projects that ask important, real-world questions and then use sound research methods to produce findings that decision-makers can actually use.
The solicitation is grounded in the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974, as amended (Pub. L. No. 93-415, 42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.), which authorizes OJJDP to conduct and support research and evaluation in juvenile justice matters. The program’s emphasis, as described in the announcement, includes research related to controlling juvenile delinquency and serious crime committed by juveniles, identifying and assessing successful efforts that prevent first-time minor offenders from progressing into more serious criminal involvement, and evaluating strategies that prevent recidivism. Overall, the FIRE Program is positioned as a way to build the knowledge base around what works (and what does not) in juvenile justice, with the expectation that strong research and credible evaluations will help jurisdictions improve outcomes for youth and communities.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2767 and falls within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category. It uses the grant funding instrument and is associated with CFDA number 16.541, Part E, Developing, Testing and Demonstrating Promising New Programs. The announcement indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specified percentage of non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
In terms of award size, the stated maximum award ceiling is $500,000, and the award floor is listed as $0, signaling that requested amounts could vary depending on the project’s design and scope, up to the ceiling. While the notice does not provide a guaranteed number of awards in the excerpt provided, the ceiling gives a sense of the expected scale: projects are intended to be substantial enough to conduct meaningful research or evaluation, but typically not so large that they resemble multi-million-dollar national initiatives.
Eligibility is fairly broad across public and certain private entities engaged in juvenile justice, research, or community-based work. Eligible applicants include public agencies such as state governments and state agencies, units of local government (including city or township governments and county governments), and federally recognized tribal governments. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education are also eligible, including tribal institutions of higher education. In addition, private organizations are eligible, including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations. The listing also notes that nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status may apply (other than institutions of higher education), and it references an “Others†category with clarification to be found in the full announcement. Taken together, the eligibility language suggests OJJDP wanted to encourage applications not only from academic researchers and government agencies, but also from practitioner and community organizations positioned to evaluate programs and policies in real operational settings.
Key dates in the posted information show the opportunity was posted on May 27, 2010, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 29, 2010. The record later shows a creation date of November 6, 2011 and an archive date of November 6, 2011, indicating this is an archived opportunity rather than an open competition. Applicants at the time were expected to submit through Grants.gov, and the contact information provided points applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement to Grants.gov Customer Support at 1-800-518-4726.
Overall, this grant opportunity supported research and evaluation designed to improve how the juvenile justice system prevents delinquency escalation, reduces repeat offending, and responds effectively to youth misconduct. The FIRE Program’s theme is evidence generation for policy and practice: funding projects that can credibly test ideas, evaluate interventions, and translate findings into actionable recommendations for juvenile justice stakeholders. The program authority is cited as 42 U.S.C. 3796ee et seq., reinforcing that the funding is part of a broader federal statutory framework supporting justice-related research, demonstration, and evaluation.
