Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Nonparticipating State Program Wyoming grant opportunity was created because Wyoming chose not to participate in the regular Title II, Part B Formula Grants program under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act). Since the state opted out, it could not receive its usual FY 2014 formula allocation under Sections 221 through 223 of the JJDP Act (42 U.S.C. 5631-5633). Instead of those funds going to the state through the standard formula process, the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) announced it would award Wyoming's allocation competitively through a discretionary solicitation, as allowed under 42 U.S.C. 5633(d). In practical terms, this meant eligible organizations in Wyoming had a chance to compete for the amount that otherwise would have been provided to the state via the formula grant structure.
The award mechanism for this opportunity was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates OJJDP expected to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funding. The funding activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing was 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States). OJJDP anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $380,000 and no stated minimum award amount (award floor of $0). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering the barrier for nonprofits that may not have flexible funds available to meet match obligations.
The solicitation framed the work around OJJDP's broader vision for juvenile justice: children should be healthy, educated, and free from violence, and any contact with the juvenile justice system should be rare, fair, and beneficial. Applicants were encouraged to align proposed projects with major national recommendations and research-based guidance, including the Attorney General's National Task Force on Children Exposed to Violence, the National Research Council's "Reforming Juvenile Justice: A Developmental Approach," and the School Discipline Consensus Project. The point of referencing these resources was to steer applicants toward approaches that reduce harm, emphasize developmentally appropriate responses, and improve outcomes for youth rather than relying on punitive, system-heavy interventions.
OJJDP also highlighted several priority strategy areas applicants were encouraged to incorporate. These included reducing gender bias in the juvenile justice system and expanding trauma-informed, gender-responsive services for girls, with special attention to victims of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking. Another emphasized theme was preventing deeper system involvement by keeping children in school and out of court, which connects to reducing school-based referrals and addressing disciplinary practices that push youth into the justice system. OJJDP further encouraged strengthening access to well-trained, well-resourced juvenile defense counsel, and expanding diversion options along with a continuum of community-based services so youth can receive support without unnecessary detention or formal processing.
Eligibility was limited to public and private nonprofit agencies operating in Wyoming, including tribal organizations. A key restriction applied to any applicant proposing direct services: the service population could not include youth age 18 or older, meaning the project needed to focus on minors under 18. OJJDP welcomed joint applications from multiple eligible organizations, but required that one entity be designated as the primary applicant for official communications, award receipt, and overall management, with the other partners identified as co-applicants.
Administratively, the opportunity number was OJJDP-2014-3687. It was posted and created on March 31, 2014, with an application deadline of May 1, 2014, and an archive date of May 31, 2014. For applicants who could not access the full announcement online, OJJDP directed them to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for support via phone, email, or web chat during specified business hours, including extended hours on the closing date.
