Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Juvenile Drug Courts and Mentoring Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2652) was a discretionary grant program from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention focused on strengthening existing juvenile drug courts by building out the kinds of real-world supports that help substance-involved youth succeed while they are under court supervision. The central aim was capacity building: helping states, courts, local governments, and tribal governments enhance juvenile drug court operations by developing and putting in place a comprehensive support services initiative centered on mentoring and related youth supports. Rather than funding juvenile drug courts in isolation, the opportunity emphasized surrounding the court process with structured, practical assistance that addresses the underlying needs that often contribute to substance use and delinquency.
At the program level, the initiative targeted youth who are assigned to juvenile drug court programs and who are experiencing substance abuse issues. The grant encouraged applicants to pair mentoring with a broader set of wraparound services that can stabilize a young person and reduce barriers to participation and progress. Examples of allowable or encouraged support services included educational services, health services, employment services, community service opportunities, recreational activities, parenting programs, and housing assistance. The overall concept was that mentoring and supportive interventions, when coordinated with the juvenile drug court model, could improve engagement, strengthen family and community connections, and increase the likelihood of successful program completion and longer-term positive outcomes.
Eligibility was limited to governmental and court entities with an established juvenile drug court track record. Specifically, applicants could be states, state courts, local courts, units of local government, and tribal governments, either applying directly or working through agreements with other public or private organizations to deliver services. A key eligibility condition was that the juvenile drug court associated with the proposal had to have been in existence for at least three years, signaling that funds were intended to expand and improve mature programs rather than start new courts from scratch. Joint applications were permitted, and OJJDP explicitly welcomed collaborations among two or more eligible entities, as long as one organization was identified as the primary applicant for official correspondence, award administration, and grant management, with the others designated as co-applicants.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, awards were made as grants under the law, justice, and legal services activity category, and were associated with CFDA number 16.726 (Juvenile Mentoring Program). The award ceiling was listed as $300,000, with no stated award floor. The program also required cost sharing or matching, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources toward the total project cost in accordance with the solicitation requirements. The authorizing statute for the initiative was 42 U.S.C. 3797u, which provided the underlying legal authority for OJJDP to offer this funding.
In terms of timing and submission, the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2010, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 19, 2010. Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. For applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, the listing provided the GMS Helpdesk contact at 1-888-549-9901. The opportunity was later archived on November 6, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited FY 2010 solicitation rather than an open, ongoing program.
