Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 National Gang Center grant opportunity is a discretionary Department of Justice funding announcement issued by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), to support the continued operation of the National Gang Center through a cooperative agreement. The core purpose is to keep a national hub in place that helps communities and federally funded programs respond to gang-related problems using evidence-informed approaches. Rather than funding a new local service program, this award is designed to sustain a national-level capacity that supports jurisdictions across the country with guidance, tools, and up-to-date information on gang prevention, intervention, and suppression.
Under this opportunity, the National Gang Center is expected to continue providing training and technical assistance to Office of Justice Programs (OJP) funded initiatives and to communities seeking help with gang issues. A major piece of the Center's role is to track current research, emerging trends, and developments in the gang landscape, then translate that information into practical support for the field. The Center also maintains a database that compiles comprehensive information on how effective gang strategies are developed and implemented, with the goal of helping practitioners identify what works, avoid common pitfalls, and adapt proven approaches to local needs.
A central product highlighted in the announcement is the Center's Strategic Planning Tool. This tool is described as a resource that helps communities assess their local gang problems and plan responses using a structured process that connects assessment to strategy selection and implementation. In practice, this means the Center is positioned as both a knowledge repository and a hands-on support provider, helping local stakeholders move from general concerns about gang activity to a clearer picture of local conditions and a more targeted set of responses across prevention, intervention, and enforcement or suppression.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work as compared to a standard grant. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), emphasizing that this is essentially a continuation and consolidation of national center functions under one recipient. The award ceiling is listed as $150,000, with no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for qualified organizations that can carry out the national-level coordination, training, technical assistance, and information management functions described.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities) and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). The listing also notes categories such as private and public institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. A key condition applies to for-profit applicants: they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, underscoring that the award is intended to pay for allowable project costs rather than generate earnings. The solicitation also welcomes joint applications, allowing two or more eligible entities to apply together, as long as one organization is clearly designated as the primary applicant for official communications and award management, with the others identified as co-applicants.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as FundingOpportunityNumber OJJDP 2014 3925 and is associated with CFDA 16.544, Youth Gang Prevention. It was posted May 29, 2014, with an application closing date of July 14, 2014, and it was later archived on August 13, 2014. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting its public safety and juvenile justice focus and its emphasis on strengthening community and system responses to gang activity.
The legal authorization cited in the announcement comes from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113 76), specifically referencing provisions under the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance heading and the Juvenile Justice heading. This signals that Congress intended funds in those appropriations to support this type of national support function, bridging juvenile justice concerns with broader law enforcement assistance priorities.
For applicants and stakeholders, the solicitation provides support channels for both application submission issues and general solicitation questions. Grants.gov technical support is available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline and email, and there is also a specific process for applicants who encounter technical problems that prevent submission by the deadline, requiring contact within 24 hours after the deadline. For questions about the solicitation requirements more broadly, the Justice Information Center (JIC) is listed as the primary point of contact, reachable by phone, email, or live web chat during stated business hours, with extended hours on the close date.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as targeted continuation funding for a national technical assistance and knowledge center focused on youth gang prevention and comprehensive gang strategy support. Its value proposition is in strengthening local and federally funded efforts nationwide through training, tools, data, and synthesis of research and trends, rather than directly funding on-the-ground services in a single community.
