Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 Evaluation of OJJDPs Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused specifically on funding a comprehensive evaluation of a new juvenile justice reform effort. The initiative being evaluated is supported through the Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation, which is administered by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Under the broader initiative, OJJDP expects to support up to three demonstration sites that will design and put into practice an integrated package of research-based tools and cost measurement methods intended to help jurisdictions realign juvenile justice services and spending in a more effective, evidence-driven way.
The core purpose of this funding opportunity is to select a single evaluator (one expected award) to conduct both a process evaluation and an outcome evaluation of the Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment Initiative. In practical terms, the evaluator is expected to follow how the sites implement the initiative (the process side), document what they actually do on the ground, and assess whether implementation matches the intended design. On the outcome side, the evaluator is expected to examine results associated with the initiative and determine whether the initiative achieves its intended effects, which are tied to improving how juvenile justice services are delivered and how costs are understood and managed. A key feature of this solicitation is the emphasis on measurement: the evaluator must identify all tools needed for evaluation and adapt them as necessary, including site-level cost measurement tool(s). That means the evaluation is not just a traditional program assessment; it also requires developing or tailoring practical instruments that can capture cost and service changes consistently across sites.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that OJJDP anticipates substantial involvement in the project beyond a standard grant relationship, such as collaboration on evaluation design decisions, deliverables, and coordination with the funded sites. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the relevant CFDA number listed is 16.821 (Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment Demonstration Program). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $700,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is broad and includes states (including territories), units of local government, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). The solicitation notes that OJJDP welcomes joint applications, but requires that one entity be designated as the primary applicant for official communications, award administration, and management. For-profit applicants are permitted, but they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that the funds are intended to support public-purpose evaluation work rather than private gain.
Key dates for this opportunity reflect a FY 2012 timeline: it was posted and created on July 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 23, 2012, and an archive date of September 22, 2012. Applicants seeking the full details were directed to the full announcement link, and assistance was available through the Justice Information Center (JIC) by phone, email, or web chat during stated business hours.
Finally, the program is authorized under federal appropriations laws cited in the announcement (Pub. L. 111-117 and Pub. L. 112-74), which provides the legal basis for OJJDP to fund this work. In summary, this opportunity is best understood as funding a single, rigorous evaluator to track implementation, outcomes, and cost-related changes across up to three reform sites, with a strong expectation that the evaluator will help standardize and adapt the measurement tools needed to judge whether the reform and reinvestment approach is working as intended.
