Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Defending Childhood Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 3059) is a discretionary federal grant designed to fund a single organization, or a consortium led by a clearly identified primary applicant, to deliver hands-on technical assistance during Phase II of the Attorney General's Defending Childhood Initiative. The overall purpose is to help communities strengthen how they prevent and respond to childrens exposure to violence by building local capacity, improving cross-system coordination, and promoting the use of evidence-based approaches for children from birth through age 17. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government expects an active partnership role in shaping and overseeing the work, rather than simply issuing funds with minimal involvement.
The funded technical assistance provider is expected to support OJJDP grantees and other participating communities through practical, tailored assistance that matches local needs and contexts. Core support activities include education and training opportunities, expert consultations, peer-to-peer networking, and the development and sharing of resources and tools. A central emphasis is helping communities create and implement collaborative, cross-agency policies, practices, and procedures, so that responses to violence exposure are not fragmented across child welfare, schools, law enforcement, courts, victim services, health and behavioral health systems, and community-based providers. The initiative recognizes that effective responses require coordinated systems that can identify children affected by violence, respond appropriately, and connect them to services without re-traumatizing them or letting them fall through gaps between agencies.
The program uses an intentionally broad and inclusive definition of "exposure to violence." It covers both direct victimization and witnessing violence, and includes abuse, neglect, and other forms of child maltreatment; domestic violence; dating violence; sexual assault and stalking; school violence; and broader community violence. Because these forms of exposure can look different across settings and developmental stages, the technical assistance is expected to address the full developmental spectrum from ages 0 to 17 and help communities select interventions and practices that fit the age group and type of exposure. Another key expectation is helping sites identify and implement evidence-based practices, which can include prevention strategies, trauma-informed screening and assessment, clinical and supportive interventions, and system-level protocols that improve safety, accountability, and service coordination.
Administration of the project sits with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), working in partnership with the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). This reflects the multi-system nature of the problem and the need to bridge juvenile justice, victim services, and violence against women frameworks, especially in cases where childrens exposure is tied to domestic and sexual violence. The legal authority for the program draws on federal statutes and provisions including the Violence Against Women Act and the Victims of Crime Act, as cited in the announcement.
In terms of funding and timing, the solicitation anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $100,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted May 26, 2011, with an application closing date of July 11, 2011, and an archive date of August 10, 2011. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.730, titled Reduction and Prevention of Childrens Exposure to Violence, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Eligibility was open to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities) as well as institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For-profit applicants had an important condition: they had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee. Joint applications were welcome, but the submission needed to clearly designate one lead applicant responsible for correspondence, award management, and overall administration, with the other entities listed as co-applicants.
For applicant support and solicitation-related questions, the announcement listed a primary contact in OJJDP: Catherine Pierce, Associate Administrator, Child Protection Division, reachable by phone at 202-307-6785 or by email at Catherine.Pierce@usdoj.gov.
