Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 National Evaluation of the Community Based Violence Prevention Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2721) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The central purpose of this opportunity is to fund a national-level evaluation of the Community Based Violence Prevention Program, aligning with DOJ's broader mission to reduce violence and victimization in targeted communities. In practical terms, the solicitation is focused less on direct service delivery and more on building credible evidence about whether, how, and under what conditions community-based violence prevention strategies are working.
The funding mechanism is a grant under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category (CFDA 16.123, Community Based Violence Prevention Program). OJJDP anticipated making a single award, meaning the competition was designed to select one lead applicant to conduct the evaluation effort. The total estimated funding available was $1,000,000, and the award ceiling was also $1,000,000, indicating that the expected award size was up to the full amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility was broad and included a range of public and nonprofit entities capable of conducting rigorous evaluation work. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. This wide eligibility suggests OJJDP was open to applications from experienced research and evaluation organizations as well as universities, governmental research units, and other entities with the technical capacity to manage a national evaluation.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on April 27, 2010, with a creation date of May 20, 2010. The original and current closing date were both June 18, 2010, and the opportunity was later archived on July 18, 2010. Those dates reflect a relatively typical federal grant window for a specialized evaluation solicitation, where the agency expects applicants to already have demonstrated evaluation expertise and the internal ability to prepare a competitive proposal on a fairly tight schedule.
For applicants needing the full announcement or support accessing it, OJJDP listed points of contact tied to program management and strategic community development. The contact information included Jeffrey Gersh, Program Manager, at (202) 514-5535, and Dennis Mondoro, Strategic Community Development Officer, at (202) 514-3913, along with agency email contacts referenced in the announcement. An additional information link was provided in the posting to access the complete program announcement, which would typically include the required scope of work, performance measures, deliverables, application components, and the evaluation expectations.
Overall, this grant opportunity offered up to $1 million to support one national evaluation designed to produce actionable findings about community-based violence prevention efforts. Rather than funding the direct operation of prevention programs themselves, the emphasis was on assessing outcomes and strengthening the evidence base that can guide future DOJ and community decisions about violence reduction strategies in targeted neighborhoods.
