Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 National TTA Center for Truancy Prevention and Intervention grant opportunity was a discretionary federal solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its core purpose was to fund the creation of a national training and technical assistance (TTA) center focused specifically on truancy prevention and intervention. The center was intended to strengthen how schools, communities, and justice-related partners understand, select, and implement truancy strategies that are either evidence-based or show strong promise, with an emphasis on practical adoption rather than research alone.
Under this opportunity, the selected awardee would serve as a national hub for capacity-building and leadership on truancy. The solicitation described a wide set of expected functions, including delivering training and hands-on technical assistance to practitioners and agencies; disseminating information and resources nationally; collaborating with researchers and program developers to keep guidance aligned with current evidence; and building partnerships across federal, state, and local entities. The center was also expected to contribute to policy development and broader field leadership, which implies helping jurisdictions translate effective truancy approaches into operational guidance, interagency agreements, and sustainable practices.
A major forward-looking component was the center's role in helping OJJDP and the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Safe and Drug Free Schools stand up a new truancy prevention/intervention demonstration program planned for FY 2012. In practical terms, this meant the FY 2011 award was positioned not only to provide general national support, but also to help design, coordinate, and support the rollout of a forthcoming federal demonstration effort, likely by informing program models, implementation supports, and technical assistance structures that demonstration sites would need.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, signaling that OJJDP anticipated substantial federal involvement in shaping or overseeing the work during the project period, rather than a fully hands-off grant. The funding ceiling was $400,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity fell under CFDA 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States), and it was authorized under Sections 221-223 of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (42 U.S.C. 5631-5633), which frames OJJDP's authority to support training, technical assistance, and related national initiatives.
Eligibility covered a range of organizational types, including nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities) and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For-profit applicants were required to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which effectively pushed proposals to be cost-based and mission-driven rather than revenue-generating. OJJDP also welcomed joint applications from multiple eligible entities, but required one clearly designated primary applicant for official correspondence, award receipt, and grant management, with additional partners listed as co-applicants.
Administratively, the solicitation was posted May 26, 2011, with an application deadline of July 11, 2011, and it was later archived August 10, 2011. Applicants needing assistance were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) by phone at 1-877-927-5657 or email at JIC@telesishq.com, with extended hours on the closing date.
