Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 National Intertribal Youth Summit (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2012 3158) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), offered as a cooperative agreement. The purpose of the award is to support the development and implementation of the 2012 National Intertribal Youth Summit, designed as a culturally appropriate youth leadership conference specifically for at-risk American Indian and Alaska Native youth ages 14 to 17. The summit is intended to bring together tribal youth in a setting that reflects and respects tribal cultures while building practical leadership skills and encouraging youth-driven solutions to challenges facing their communities.
The conference content is expected to focus on major issues impacting tribal youth, including teen dating violence, substance abuse, suicide, delinquency, and gang involvement. Rather than approaching these topics only from a prevention or intervention angle, the summit emphasizes leadership development, meaning the funded project should help young participants strengthen their ability to make healthy decisions, support peers, connect with positive adult mentors, and take active roles in community well-being. Because this is a cooperative agreement, the recipient should anticipate ongoing collaboration with OJJDP, which typically includes federal involvement in planning, coordination, and oversight to ensure the summit meets program goals and is delivered effectively.
OJJDP anticipated making a single award under this opportunity, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. The CFDA program number associated with this funding is 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). The solicitation was posted on December 23, 2011, and applications were due by January 23, 2012, with the opportunity later archived on February 22, 2012. Funding for the program is authorized through an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice, which signals that the summit is supported through federal appropriations tied to DOJ programming priorities in juvenile justice and youth prevention.
Eligibility is broad but targeted toward entities with proven ability to work effectively with tribal youth in Indian Country. Eligible applicants include states and territories; units of local government (including federally recognized tribal governments, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior); nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations); and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). A key requirement is that applicants must demonstrate knowledge and experience working with tribal youth in Indian Country. For-profit applicants are permitted, but they must agree to waive any profit or management fee, which is a common federal safeguard to ensure funds are directed to programmatic delivery rather than earnings.
There are also specific population requirements tied to service delivery. If an applicant proposes providing direct services to youth as part of the summit activities, the program may not include youth who are age 18 or older in the population served. This aligns the summit with its stated target group of 14 to 17 year olds and ensures the conference remains developmentally appropriate and consistent with juvenile-focused objectives. OJJDP also permits joint applications submitted by two or more eligible entities, but one organization must be clearly designated as the primary applicant for official communications, award administration, and overall management. In joint submissions, each participating applicant must still demonstrate relevant experience working with tribal youth in Indian Country.
Applicants seeking more detail were directed to the full announcement via the solicitation link.
