Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 Community Based Violence Prevention (CBVP) Field Initiated Research and Evaluation (FIRE) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its core purpose is to fund methodologically rigorous, field-initiated research and evaluation projects that strengthen what policymakers and practitioners know about preventing and reducing violence involving youth at the community level. In practical terms, the program is designed to build credible evidence about which community-based strategies work, under what conditions they work, and how they can be implemented effectively to improve public safety and youth outcomes in ways that align with DOJ priorities.
The funding opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP-2012-3300 and falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category, with CFDA number 16.541 (Part E: Developing, Testing, and Demonstrating Promising New Programs). Awards are structured as grants, with individual award amounts ranging from a floor of $100,000 to a ceiling of $500,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier to participation for applicants that may not have access to non-federal match resources. The solicitation was posted on May 14, 2012, and applications were due by June 28, 2012, with the opportunity archived on July 28, 2012.
Eligible applicants include a broad mix of public, private, nonprofit, academic, and tribal entities. Specifically, eligibility is limited to states (including territories), units of local government (including city, county, township, and federally recognized tribal governments), nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including public, private, state-controlled, and tribal colleges and universities). A key condition applies to for-profit organizations: they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee under the award, reinforcing that funds are intended to directly support research and evaluation activities rather than generate revenue. OJJDP also welcomes joint applications in which multiple eligible entities partner together; however, one organization must be designated as the primary applicant responsible for official correspondence, award administration, and overall grant management, with the remaining partners listed as co-applicants.
Programmatically, the FIRE Program emphasizes strong research design and evaluation quality. While the summary information does not list specific required methodologies, the repeated emphasis on “methodologically rigorous” work signals that proposals are expected to use sound evaluation approaches capable of producing reliable findings that can inform real-world decisions. The focus on “field initiated” projects means applicants are not limited to a narrow set of pre-defined study questions; instead, they can propose studies grounded in local practice and emerging needs, as long as the work contributes meaningfully to knowledge about community-based youth violence prevention and reduction. This could include evaluations of existing community interventions, testing new or promising approaches, or research that clarifies how community conditions, services, partnerships, and implementation choices affect youth violence outcomes.
The opportunity is authorized under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012, cited as 42 USC 5631, Pub. L. 112-55, 125 Stat. 552, 617, establishing the statutory basis for OJJDP to make these awards. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating solicitation requirements were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for support by phone (1-877-927-5657), email (JIC@telesishq.com), or live web chat, with extended hours on the application close date.
