Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) offered this FY 2010 discretionary grant opportunity to establish a National Juvenile Justice Evaluation Center (NJJEC). The central purpose of the NJJEC is to strengthen the ability of states, federally recognized tribes, and local communities to evaluate juvenile justice policies, programs, and day-to-day practices, and then use evaluation findings to improve how juvenile justice systems operate. In practical terms, the center is meant to help jurisdictions move beyond simply running programs to routinely measuring what is being done, how well it is being implemented, and whether it is producing better outcomes for youth, families, and public safety.
The solicitation emphasizes building evaluation capacity across the field. That includes helping agencies and organizations develop sound evaluation-related policies and procedures, improve data collection and performance measurement, select appropriate evaluation designs, and interpret results in ways that can guide decision-making. The expected approach is not limited to research studies; it also includes helping jurisdictions put evaluation into regular operations, so results can be used for continuous improvement and to strengthen accountability for juvenile justice initiatives.
To accomplish this mission, the NJJEC is expected to carry out a broad set of activities. These include training and technical assistance (so practitioners and administrators can learn and apply evaluation methods), information dissemination (sharing tools, guidance, lessons learned, and findings), and active collaboration with policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and evaluators. The opportunity also highlights the importance of partnerships with federal, state, and local agencies, reflecting a goal of coordinating evaluation support across levels of government and ensuring that assistance is relevant to real-world juvenile justice needs.
This grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2778) falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is associated with CFDA 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States). The funding instrument is a grant, offered on a discretionary basis. The award ceiling is listed as $500,000, with no stated award floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for applicants who may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility is broad but limited to certain types of entities. Eligible applicants include public agencies such as state governments and state agencies, units of local government (city/township and county governments), and federally recognized tribal governments. Public and state-controlled institutions of higher education are eligible, including tribal institutions of higher education. Private organizations may also apply, including 501(c)(3) nonprofits and other private organizations such as faith-based, community-based, and tribal organizations. The solicitation notes that federally recognized tribes are those determined by the Secretary of the Interior and published in the Federal Register.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on June 10, 2010, with applications due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on July 9, 2010. The opportunity was later archived on November 6, 2011. The agency contact pathway referenced Grants.gov customer support for applicants having trouble accessing the full announcement electronically.
Finally, the legal authority for the solicitation is Sections 221 and 223 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (JJDP) Act of 1974, as amended (42 U.S.C. 5631 and 5633). This statutory grounding signals that the center aligns with federal priorities around improving juvenile justice systems through stronger planning, oversight, and evidence-driven program improvement.
