Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Field Initiated Research and Evaluation Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3581) is a discretionary grant competition run by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Its core purpose is to fund methodologically rigorous research and evaluation projects that can directly inform juvenile justice policy and practice in ways that align with the U.S. Department of Justice mission. The emphasis is on field-initiated work, meaning applicants propose the research questions and study designs rather than responding to a narrowly predefined research topic, as long as the proposal clearly advances knowledge that is useful to the juvenile justice field.
A central theme of the solicitation is the application of a child and adolescent development framework to juvenile justice system approaches, policies, and programs. In practical terms, OJJDP is looking for studies and evaluations that help the field better understand whether and how developmentally informed strategies affect key outcomes such as juvenile delinquency, depth and duration of justice system involvement, and recidivism. This focus reflects an interest in aligning interventions, court practices, supervision strategies, and service models with what research shows about adolescent development, decision-making, risk-taking, maturity, and responsiveness to supports and sanctions. Projects are expected to produce evidence that can guide real-world decisions by agencies, practitioners, and policymakers, rather than purely theoretical work.
The opportunity is offered as a grant, categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services, and is associated with CFDA 16.541 (Developing, Testing and Demonstrating Promising New Programs). OJJDP anticipated making about three awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $500,000, with no stated minimum (award floor of $0). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and territories, units of local government (including counties, cities, and townships), federally recognized tribal governments, and a range of nonprofit and for-profit organizations, including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities. Institutions of higher education are eligible as well, including public, private, state-controlled, and tribal colleges and universities. For-profit applicants may apply, but they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is an important budgeting and compliance condition. The solicitation also welcomes joint applications from partnerships or consortia, but it requires that one organization be designated as the primary applicant for official communication, award receipt, and grant management, with other partners listed as co-applicants.
Timing-wise, the solicitation was posted and created on March 29, 2013, with an original and final closing date of May 29, 2013, and an archive date of June 28, 2013. Although the competition itself was tied to FY 2013, OJJDP notes that it may choose to make awards in future fiscal years from applications submitted under this solicitation, depending on application merit and the availability of appropriations, which is a standard provision that leaves room for delayed or phased funding decisions.
The legal authority for the program comes from two major federal statutes: Part B of Title II of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 USC 5631 et seq.) and Part R of Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (42 USC 3796ee et seq.). These authorities underpin OJJDPs ability to fund research, demonstration, and evaluation efforts that strengthen juvenile justice knowledge and practice nationwide.
