Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Enhancements to Juvenile Drug Courts grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2014 3951) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. It is designed to strengthen and expand the capacity of juvenile drug courts that are already operating, with the larger goal of supporting healthier outcomes for young people and keeping justice system involvement rare, fair, and beneficial when it does occur. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding area and is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 3797u, et seq., which is tied to the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program (CFDA 16.585).
At its core, the solicitation focuses on improving the services juvenile drug courts provide to youth whose contact with the juvenile justice system is connected to alcohol or other drug use. OJJDP characterizes juvenile drug courts as programs that deliver comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, community-based services, meaning the court model is expected to coordinate justice supervision with treatment and supportive interventions that match adolescents developmental needs and are rooted in local service networks rather than relying solely on detention or punitive responses. The intent is not to start new courts from scratch, but to help existing juvenile drug courts enhance what they already do, such as strengthening service delivery, increasing program capacity, and improving the overall effectiveness and responsiveness of the court team and partner agencies.
Funding is structured as grant awards with an expected total of eight awards. The ceiling amount per award is $500,000, and the listed floor is $0, signaling that while there is a maximum, the requested amount may vary depending on the scope proposed. The opportunity includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants should anticipate needing to contribute non-federal resources (cash and/or in-kind, depending on the solicitation specifics) as part of the total project budget.
Eligibility is limited and specifically tied to having an existing juvenile drug court in operation. Eligible applicants include states, state courts, local courts, units of local government (such as city/township or county governments), and federally recognized Indian tribal governments. The announcement also allows these eligible entities to apply directly or through agreements with other public or private entities, which creates room for partnerships with treatment providers, community organizations, or other service agencies. If a subunit of government, such as a county probation department, district attorneys office, or pretrial services agency, wants to be the applicant, it must be formally designated by the authorized representative of the parent government entity. In practical terms, that means an authorization letter is required showing that, for example, a county executive has designated the probation department to apply on the countys behalf.
The solicitation encourages collaborative applications involving two or more entities, but it draws a clear line about responsibility: one eligible entity must serve as the primary applicant, and any partner organizations should be included as subrecipients. Importantly, the primary applicant must be the entity with the main responsibility for conducting and leading the juvenile drug court, reinforcing that OJJDP expects the awardee to be the central decision-maker and coordinator for the courts operations and enhancements.
Key administrative details include the posting date of June 23, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2014, and an archive date of August 22, 2014. OJJDP also notes that it may choose to make awards under this solicitation in future fiscal years depending on application merit and available appropriations, which signals that high-quality proposals could remain relevant beyond the initial cycle if funding permits.
For support, applicants were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for assistance with solicitation requirements, available by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or via live web chat during stated business hours, with extended hours on the close date.
