Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Project is a discretionary federal funding opportunity designed to strengthen how communities prevent and respond to youth and gang violence across the United States, whether in urban, suburban, or rural settings. The underlying problem the program addresses is broad: young people may be involved in violence as perpetrators, victims, or witnesses, and the impacts range from emotional trauma (for example, bullying) to severe injury or death (for example, assaults involving weapons). This grant is tied to the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention, an Obama Administration initiative launched by the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education to elevate youth violence as a national priority and to spark a sustained national conversation about solutions.
At its core, the National Forum model focuses on building local capacity through multidisciplinary partnerships and coordinated action. It promotes approaches that are balanced (typically meaning prevention, intervention, enforcement, and reentry supports working together), driven by data rather than anecdote, and organized through comprehensive planning. A major emphasis is on improving how local systems work together so communities can move away from fragmented, agency by agency responses and toward shared goals, shared information, and joint strategies. The Forum also encourages participating communities to openly share challenges and highlight promising strategies so lessons learned in one place can inform work elsewhere.
The Forum is described as an ongoing federal-local collaboration that convenes stakeholders at multiple levels of government and across sectors. In addition to the Departments of Justice and Education, participating federal partners include the Departments of Health and Human Services, Housing and Urban Development, and Labor, along with the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. On the local side, the listed Forum communities for this period include Boston, Chicago, Detroit, Memphis, Salinas (California), and San Jose (California). The Forum also involves non-government partners such as faith- and community-based organizations, youth and family service providers, businesses, and philanthropic organizations, reflecting the idea that youth violence prevention requires a whole-community approach rather than a purely justice-system response. More background information is referenced at www.findyouthinfo.gov/youthviolence.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity was issued by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s execution rather than simply awarding funds with minimal engagement. The solicitation anticipated a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an award ceiling of $900,000 and no required cost sharing or match. The opportunity falls under CFDA 16.819 (National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention). It was posted May 8, 2012, with an application deadline of June 25, 2012, and it was archived July 25, 2012. The authorizing reference cited in the announcement is the Department of Justice Authorization Act, 2012 (Pub. L. No. 112-55).
Eligibility was broad and included states and territories, units of local government (including federally recognized tribal governments), tribal entities, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). A key condition applied to for-profit applicants: they had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is a common requirement in certain federal assistance awards when the intent is to pay only for allowable project costs rather than generate profit.
Operationally, the project’s purpose is to provide training and technical assistance that supports the Forum’s goals: helping participating localities improve collaboration across disciplines, use data to guide decisions, implement comprehensive plans, and coordinate strategies among multiple agencies and community partners. While the short description does not list specific deliverables, a TTA project in this context typically supports convenings, peer learning, strategy development, implementation support, and tools that help communities measure progress and refine interventions. The overall intent is capacity building: making communities better equipped to prevent youth violence and respond effectively when it occurs through coordinated, evidence-informed practice.
For applicants or interested parties needing help with the solicitation, the announcement directed technical and requirements questions to the Justice Information Center (JIC) by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or via live web chat, with operating hours provided for normal business days and extended hours on the closing date.
