Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Tribal Youth Field Initiated grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2886) was a discretionary grant program offered through the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, focused specifically on strengthening the evidence base around tribal youth delinquency prevention and intervention. Rather than primarily funding direct services, the core purpose of this solicitation was to support research and evaluation studies that could generate findings with clear, practical value for people who make and implement decisions in this space, including frontline practitioners, program administrators, and policymakers working with tribal communities. The overall intent was to improve what is known about which approaches actually reduce delinquency risks, prevent future delinquent behavior, and reduce victimization among tribal youth, while also deepening understanding of the lived experiences, strengths, and needs of tribal youth, their families, and their communities.
A key theme of the solicitation was “field-initiated” work, meaning applicants were expected to propose research or evaluation topics that emerge from on-the-ground realities and the needs of tribal communities, rather than simply replicating generic models developed elsewhere. Projects were expected to produce usable knowledge, such as evidence on program effectiveness, implementation lessons, or policy-relevant insights that can be translated into better prevention and intervention strategies. The opportunity emphasized building understanding not only of risk factors but also protective factors and community strengths, reflecting an interest in approaches that are culturally grounded and responsive to the unique contexts of tribal nations and tribal youth.
This opportunity fell under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services and was associated with CFDA Number 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). It did not require cost sharing or matching, which can reduce barriers to participation for smaller organizations and communities that may have limited resources to contribute as match. The solicitation was posted on December 29, 2010, with an original and final closing date of February 28, 2011, and it was later archived on November 9, 2011. The public listing showed award ceiling and award floor values as 0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts were not stated in the summary fields and that applicants needed to consult the full announcement for detailed funding guidance, expected award sizes, project periods, and any limits.
Eligibility was broad and designed to include the kinds of entities that commonly conduct applied research and evaluation or partner with communities to do so. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments, tribal organizations, state and local governments (including counties and cities/townships), public and private institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities), nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3)s), and for-profit organizations (including small businesses). In the eligibility language, the solicitation framed eligible applicants as states and territories, units of local government (explicitly including federally recognized tribal governments as determined by the Secretary of the Interior), nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including Indian tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including Indian tribal institutions of higher education). This breadth allowed for multiple models of participation, such as a tribal government leading a study, a university conducting an evaluation in close partnership with a tribal community, or a nonprofit research organization collaborating with tribal stakeholders.
For applicants who needed the complete solicitation or had trouble accessing it electronically, the contact listed was Amy Callaghan, Solicitation Coordinator, at 202-514-9292, with an email contact referenced in the announcement. Overall, the grant opportunity was positioned as a research-and-evaluation investment intended to strengthen real-world decision-making in tribal juvenile justice and prevention by producing credible, actionable evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions in tribal settings.
