Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Tribal Healing to Wellness Court Responses to Underage Drinking Initiative is a discretionary Department of Justice funding opportunity designed to strengthen how Tribal Healing to Wellness Courts respond to underage alcohol possession and consumption. Led by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), the initiative reflects OJJDPs broader vision that children in the United States and in tribal nations should be healthy, educated, and free from violence, and that any involvement with the juvenile or family justice system should be uncommon, fair, and ultimately helpful to the youth. Within that framework, the program invests in tribal court-based approaches that are comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, community-based, and culturally grounded for youth who come into contact with the tribal juvenile justice system due to alcohol or other drug use.
At the core of the opportunity is support for tribal juvenile, juvenile and family, or family Healing to Wellness Courts to either develop new capacity or enhance existing capacity specifically aimed at youth under 21 who possess or consume alcohol. OJJDP emphasizes that these courts are not meant to function only as compliance-focused justice mechanisms, but as coordinated systems that connect youth and families to services and supports in ways that fit community needs and tribal culture. Funding is intended to help project sites implement or strengthen programming and direct services that address underage drinking as a driver of justice involvement and community harm.
The initiative is explicitly outcome-oriented. Capacity-building and program enhancements are expected to contribute to several public safety and public health goals: reducing alcohol-related offenses among youth under 21; reducing alcohol-related traffic injuries and fatalities where underage drinking may be a factor; increasing the number of activities designed to deter underage drinking; increasing youth participation in those deterrence activities; and decreasing crimes against persons or property where alcohol consumption by youth under 21 may have contributed. In other words, the program is not limited to court processing improvements; it is also meant to expand prevention, engagement, and community-level deterrence efforts tied to the court and its partners.
This solicitation also includes a separate but connected investment in training and technical assistance. In addition to funding multiple project sites, OJJDP planned to make a single cooperative agreement award to a training and technical assistance provider that would support the funded tribal sites. That support role is meant to help communities implement effective strategies, strengthen court operations, and improve consistency and quality across sites, which is a common approach in DOJ initiatives when multiple jurisdictions are implementing related models.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP-2014-3938 and is funded under CFDA 16.727, the Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws Program. Awards were to be made as cooperative agreements, which generally means OJJDP anticipated substantial involvement in the funded projects compared with a standard grant. The solicitation anticipated up to 7 total awards. Individual award amounts ranged from an award floor of $320,000 to an award ceiling of $600,000. No cost sharing or match was required, lowering the barrier for eligible applicants that may have limited ability to provide matching funds. The solicitation was posted June 17, 2014, with an application closing date of August 1, 2014, and an archive date of August 31, 2014.
Eligibility was organized into two categories tied to the two types of awards. Category 1, the project site awards, was limited to federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) that were already operating a juvenile, juvenile and family, or family Healing to Wellness Court. This requirement signals that the funding was aimed at strengthening and expanding existing court models rather than establishing entirely new courts from scratch. Category 2, the training and technical assistance award, was open to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations) and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). For-profit applicants under Category 2 had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, a condition that is sometimes used to ensure federal funds are directed toward service delivery and support rather than profit.
The initiative is authorized under 42 USC 3797u et seq., along with the relevant Juvenile Justice Programs appropriations language in the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014 (P.L. 113-76). For applicant support during the solicitation period, OJJDP directed prospective applicants to the Justice Information Center, which provided phone, email, and web chat assistance for solicitation requirements and technical questions about applying.
