Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 Mentoring Best Practices Research grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2012 3204) is a discretionary federal research funding opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Its main purpose is to strengthen the evidence base around mentoring as a prevention and intervention strategy for young people who are at risk of entering the juvenile justice system or who are already involved in it. OJJDP is treating mentoring as a promising approach, but is also making the case that the field still lacks enough rigorous evaluation to clearly identify which program elements actually drive meaningful outcomes, especially reductions in delinquency and offending.
This opportunity focuses on funding research studies that can break mentoring programs down into their key components and test what works, for whom, and under what conditions. The goal is not simply to show that mentoring can be helpful in general, but to pinpoint the specific features of mentoring models that produce measurable impacts (for example, components tied to improved youth behavior, reduced reoffending, stronger school engagement, or other delinquency related outcomes). By supporting studies designed to clarify best practices, OJJDP expects the results to help communities and systems use mentoring dollars more strategically, improve program design and delivery, and increase the adoption of evidence based approaches in juvenile mentoring.
Up to six awards were anticipated under this solicitation. Individual grant awards were expected to fall between 100,000 dollars (award floor) and 500,000 dollars (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier for organizations that may not have large unrestricted funds available to contribute as match.
Eligibility was broad and includes states and territories, units of local government (such as cities, townships, and counties), federally recognized tribal governments, and other tribal organizations, as well as nonprofit and for profit organizations and institutions of higher education (public, state controlled, private, and tribal). A key condition is that for profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP also encouraged joint applications involving multiple eligible entities, with the expectation that one organization would be designated as the primary applicant for official communications and grant management, and other partners would be listed as co applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted February 29, 2012, with an original closing date of April 30, 2012, later reflected as May 1, 2012 as the current closing date. The archive date was May 30, 2012. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program. The solicitation is authorized under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112 55), which provides the legal authority for OJJDP to issue and fund this competitive grant program.
For applicant support, OJJDP directed questions and assistance requests to the Justice Information Center (JIC), available by phone at 1 877 927 5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or through live web chat during stated business hours, including extended hours on the close date.
