Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Youth in Custody grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), aimed at creating a single national center dedicated to improving how youth are detained or confined in justice settings. Through a cooperative agreement, OJJDP planned to fund one successful applicant to establish and operate the OJJDP National Training and Technical Assistance Center for Youth in Custody. The core purpose of the Center is to strengthen the capacity of juvenile justice and corrections agencies and the organizations that run juvenile facilities by providing targeted education, training, hands-on technical assistance, and practical resources that can be used directly in facilities.
A central theme of the opportunity is the rehabilitative mission of the juvenile justice system. The Center is expected to support facility practices that go beyond basic custody and control and instead promote safer environments, improved youth outcomes, and developmentally appropriate approaches for adolescents. Importantly, the scope is not limited to traditional juvenile detention centers or youth correctional facilities. The announcement explicitly includes the full range of placements where juveniles may be held, including adult facilities, recognizing that youth held in adult jails or prisons face unique risks and needs. In practice, this means the Center would be positioned to assist jurisdictions that place youth across different settings and to tailor guidance to the operational realities and legal constraints of each environment.
The audience for the Center is broad and includes state, local, and tribal departments of juvenile justice and corrections, service providers, and private organizations that operate juvenile facilities. The intent is to ensure that the training and technical assistance reaches both government systems and the nonprofit or private partners that often provide direct services inside facilities. Beyond delivering assistance, the Center is also expected to play a knowledge-building role by updating and contributing to the field’s understanding of effective, evidence-informed practices for detaining or confining youth. That suggests a focus on identifying what works, translating research into usable tools, and helping facilities adopt and sustain better policies and day-to-day practices.
This opportunity was authorized under Sections 221 and 223 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act), codified at 42 U.S.C. 5631 and related provisions. Administratively, it was listed under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2759 and associated with CFDA 16.540, Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States. Although the CFDA program title references state allocations, this specific solicitation is a national discretionary initiative designed to create a specialized training and assistance center.
Key funding details include an anticipated single award, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that OJJDP expected to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the project’s activities during the award period rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement.
Eligibility was limited to public agencies and qualifying organizations, including state governments and state agencies, units of local government (cities, townships, counties), federally recognized tribal governments, public colleges and universities (including tribal institutions of higher education), and nonprofit organizations, including faith-based, tribal, and community nonprofits. Both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and other nonprofit entities (excluding institutions of higher education) were listed among eligible applicant types, reflecting an intent to keep the competition open to a range of capable national, regional, and community-based organizations with relevant expertise.
The solicitation timeline shows it was posted on May 13, 2010, with an original and final closing date of June 29, 2010, and an archive date of July 29, 2010. Applicants were directed to Grants.gov for submission, with technical submission support available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (1-800-518-4726) and support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays. Additional program information was referenced through the OJJDP website link included in the announcement.
