Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Evaluations of Girls' Delinquency Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2891) is a discretionary grant program offered through the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs, focused specifically on building credible evidence about what works to prevent and reduce girls' delinquency. The central purpose is evaluation: funding is intended to support projects that document and measure the effectiveness of delinquency prevention, intervention, and/or treatment programs that serve girls, with an emphasis on determining whether these approaches actually reduce girls' risk behaviors and offending and help keep them from deeper involvement in the juvenile justice system. The opportunity reflects a broader concern that, over roughly two decades, the number of girls entering the juvenile justice system has increased substantially, creating an urgent need for the field to identify effective, evidence-based responses tailored to girls' pathways into delinquency.
In practical terms, the solicitation is aimed at strengthening the knowledge base rather than simply expanding services. Applicants are expected to evaluate existing or implemented programs and strategies and produce findings that the juvenile justice field and OJJDP can use to guide policy, funding, and program design. The intent is to move beyond anecdotal success claims by supporting systematic assessment of outcomes, including whether programs prevent initial involvement, reduce reoffending, or lessen related risk behaviors. The program is authorized under a statute appropriating funds for the Department of Justice, and it aligns with OJJDP's role in promoting research, evaluation, and effective practices in juvenile justice and delinquency prevention.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and territories, units of local government, county and city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations, along with public and private institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). This wide eligibility is designed to allow jurisdictions, research institutions, and service providers to partner or apply directly, depending on who is best positioned to conduct rigorous evaluation work and access relevant program sites and data. The solicitation indicates there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for applicants that may not have additional funds available to meet a match.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States) and categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services. It was posted on December 29, 2010, with a closing date of February 28, 2011 (original and current closing dates are the same). The record is archived as of November 9, 2011. The award ceiling and floor are listed as zero in the source data, which typically signals that specific award ranges were not captured in that summary record and would normally be clarified in the full announcement.
For applicants needing assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Amy Callaghan, Solicitation Coordinator, reachable by phone at 202-514-9292.
