Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2010 Support for Conferences on Juvenile Justice grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2640) was a discretionary federal grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It was grounded in OJJDP's authorizing legislation, including the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 2002 (42 U.S.C. 5601 et seq.), along with other appropriations statutes that fund juvenile justice activities. The central aim of the solicitation was to fund organizations whose missions align with OJJDP to plan and host conferences that advance the field in practical ways, specifically around delinquency prevention, child protection, and improvements to the juvenile justice system.
In practical terms, the program was designed to support conference-based activities that spread evidence, strengthen practice, and promote coordinated responses to youth-related public safety and welfare issues. The solicitation emphasized topics such as youth violence prevention, substance abuse prevention and intervention, victimization, and system-level responses that improve outcomes for young people and families. OJJDP specifically indicated interest in applicants with substantial expertise in areas including substance abuse, juvenile and family drug courts, and the prevention and response to maltreatment, abuse, and crimes against children. That focus signals that the conferences OJJDP wanted to support were expected to be more than general convenings; they were intended to be content-driven events that help professionals and stakeholders apply proven or promising strategies in real settings.
Funding under this opportunity fell under CFDA 16.541, Part E, described as Developing, Testing and Demonstrating Promising New Programs, and it used the grant funding instrument. The award ceiling was $40,000, with an award floor listed as $0, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match to be eligible. As a discretionary program, awards would have been competitive and based on the quality and relevance of the proposed conference, the applicant's capabilities, and alignment with OJJDP priorities as described in the announcement.
Eligibility was fairly broad but still mission-focused. Eligible applicants included state governments, local governments (city or township and county governments), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions when they apply under the nonprofit category). The eligibility language also clarified that applications were limited to public agencies (including public school systems, universities and colleges, and other governmental units), private organizations (including faith-based, tribal, and community organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher learning) whose mission centers on youth violence, substance abuse prevention and/or intervention, and victimization. In other words, the applicant pool included many types of entities, but OJJDP was looking for organizations with a clear track record and mission alignment in the youth justice and child protection space.
The application process required submission through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (OJP GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The solicitation was posted March 31, 2010, and applications were due by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 17, 2010. The archived record lists an archive date of November 7, 2011. For technical issues accessing the full announcement or using the system, applicants were directed to the GMS Helpdesk (1-888-549-9901 and gms.helpdesk@usdoj.gov).
Overall, this opportunity was a targeted, modest-dollar grant meant to underwrite conference efforts that help the juvenile justice field share knowledge and improve practice in key areas like delinquency prevention, child safety, and system reform, with a notable emphasis on substance abuse-related interventions, drug court practice, and preventing and responding to crimes against children.
