Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Mentoring Best Practices Research grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3415) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention focused on strengthening the evidence base for youth mentoring as a prevention and intervention approach. The central aim is to improve what practitioners and policymakers know about how mentoring works for young people who are at risk of becoming involved in the juvenile justice system or who are already involved. OJJDP emphasizes that mentoring is widely viewed as promising, but that the field still needs stronger evaluation and research to pinpoint which program characteristics and mentoring components actually drive meaningful outcomes, particularly reductions in delinquency and offending.
Funding under this solicitation is intended specifically for research and evaluation studies that can inform the design and delivery of mentoring programs. In practical terms, applicants are expected to study mentoring in ways that move beyond general claims of benefit and instead identify the active ingredients of effective mentoring models. The desired outputs are findings that clarify which approaches, structures, participant matching practices, intensity or duration of contact, mentor training and support methods, and other program elements are linked to measurable improvements for youth, especially outcomes related to justice involvement. OJJDP’s broader goal is that the resulting evidence will help communities use resources more efficiently and support the implementation of evidence based best practices in juvenile mentoring programs.
The program anticipates making up to 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no stated minimum award amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Law, Justice, and Legal Services. The solicitation was posted on December 21, 2012, with a closing date of February 19, 2013, and it was later archived on March 21, 2013. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.726, the Juvenile Mentoring Program, and it is authorized through an act appropriating FY 2013 funds for the U.S. Department of Justice.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and territories, units of local government, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit and for profit organizations (including tribal nonprofits and for profits), and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). The listing also reflects eligibility for small businesses, larger for profit entities, and both public and private higher education institutions, as well as city, township, and county governments. A key condition is that for profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP also welcomes joint applications from multiple eligible organizations, but requires a clearly identified primary applicant. Importantly, the primary applicant must be the organization that is conducting and leading the mentoring evaluation or research, with primary responsibility for the study. Partnerships with additional research sites or program sites are allowed (for example through subawards), but leadership and accountability for the research must remain with the lead applicant.
For applicants needing help with the solicitation requirements or accessing the full announcement, OJJDP directs inquiries to the Justice Information Center (JIC) at 1 877 927 5657 or JIC@telesishq.com, with support also available via live web chat during specified business hours, including extended hours on the closing date.
