Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 National Gang Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2890) is a discretionary Office of Justice Programs solicitation to fund a cooperative agreement that continues and expands the work of the National Gang Center (NGC). The award is jointly supported by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Rather than funding a local direct-service program, the intent is to sustain a national-level resource that strengthens gang prevention, intervention, and suppression efforts by building the capacity of communities and OJP-funded initiatives through training, technical assistance, and practical planning tools.
At its core, the NGC functions as a national hub for evidence-informed gang strategy. Under this award, the Center is expected to keep tracking current research findings, emerging trends, and promising practices related to gangs, and to maintain a centralized database that captures comprehensive information on how effective gang strategies are developed and implemented. A key deliverable highlighted in the announcement is the NGC Strategic Planning Tool, which is designed to help jurisdictions assess their local gang problems, organize data and community input, and translate those findings into a coordinated plan that blends prevention, intervention, and suppression approaches. The cooperative agreement is meant to continue these existing functions while also expanding the Center's reach and support to jurisdictions across the country.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out (for example, coordination on priorities, deliverables, and implementation). The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA 16.544, Youth Gang Prevention. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and territories, local governments (including city, township, county, and independent school districts), federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, institutions of higher education (public or private, including tribal institutions), nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). In short, applicants are limited to governmental entities, tribal governments and organizations, higher education institutions, and nonprofit or for-profit organizations that can operate at a national scope consistent with the NGC mission.
Key administrative details include a posted date of December 29, 2010, with an application closing date of February 28, 2011 (the original and current closing dates match). The archive date is November 9, 2011. The solicitation lists an award ceiling and floor of 0, which generally indicates the amount was not specified in the summary fields and applicants needed to consult the full announcement for funding levels, project period, and required budget structure. The program is authorized through an act appropriating funds for the U.S. Department of Justice.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Amy Callaghan, Solicitation Coordinator, at 202-514-9292. The summary also references an additional information link to the full announcement where detailed requirements, deliverables, and application instructions would be provided.
