Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Juvenile Drug Courts Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) aimed at strengthening the national capacity of juvenile drug courts that serve substance-abusing youth. Rather than directly funding local court operations, the program is designed to fund a single provider to deliver training and technical assistance (TTA) to the field. The overall intent is to help states, state and local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments develop new juvenile drug courts where appropriate and, just as importantly, maintain and improve existing juvenile drug courts by aligning them with proven approaches for adolescents and effective court practices.
A central feature of the solicitation is OJJDP's emphasis on the Sixteen Strategies of Effective Juvenile Drug Courts (the Strategies). The funded TTA provider is expected to deliver guidance that is grounded in these Strategies and translates them into practical improvements in both treatment services for adolescents and day-to-day court operations. In practice, that means the provider would be responsible for helping juvenile drug court teams adopt best practices in adolescent substance use treatment, strengthen coordination among judges, probation, treatment providers, schools, and families, and improve core operational elements such as screening and assessment, case planning, incentives and sanctions, supervision, data collection, and ongoing program evaluation. The program is authorized under 42 USC Section 3797u 8, which provides the statutory basis for this type of juvenile drug court support activity.
The funding instrument for this opportunity is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a closer working relationship with the federal agency than a standard grant. Under a cooperative agreement, OJJDP generally expects substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing major aspects of the project, such as refining TTA priorities, approving deliverables, coordinating with other federally supported drug court and juvenile justice initiatives, and ensuring the work remains consistent with OJJDP policy and the Strategies. The activity category is listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA program number is 16.585, Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program.
The solicitation anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no required cost sharing or matching funds. The award floor is listed as $0, which usually indicates that proposals could request varying amounts up to the ceiling as long as the proposed work is justified, but the clear expectation in a single-award national TTA program is typically a robust, comprehensive scope of work. The opportunity was posted on March 14, 2013, and closed on May 13, 2013, with an archive date of June 12, 2013.
Eligibility was broad but focused on applicants with demonstrated expertise in helping jurisdictions build and enhance juvenile drug courts. Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), small businesses, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and other entities as further described in the full announcement. A notable condition applied to for-profit applicants: they had to agree to waive any profit or fee for services, meaning the cooperative agreement funds could support allowable costs to perform the work but not profit.
For applicants and stakeholders needing help with the solicitation requirements or access to the full announcement, the contact point listed was the Justice Information Center (JIC), reachable by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or through live web chat during posted business hours. The solicitation therefore positioned the funded organization as a national or field-wide capacity builder, responsible for disseminating and supporting adoption of evidence-informed juvenile drug court practices so participating courts can improve outcomes for youth and communities.
