Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 Nonparticipating State Program Wyoming (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2015 4073) is a discretionary, competitive funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It exists specifically because Wyoming chose not to participate in the Title II, Part B Formula Grants program under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDP Act). Since the state is not participating, it cannot receive its normal FY 2015 Title II Formula Grants allocation directly under Sections 221-223 of the JJDP Act (42 U.S.C. Sections 5631-5633). Instead, under 42 U.S.C. 5633(d), OJJDP will competitively award the amount that would have been Wyoming's allocation through this special nonparticipating state program.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means OJJDP expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project compared to a standard grant. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number listed is 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States). OJJDP anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $380,000. The award ceiling is also $380,000, and the award floor is listed as $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted for this opportunity, so applicants are not required to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations operating in Wyoming, and the solicitation emphasizes local public agencies and private nonprofit agencies, including tribal organizations. While the general eligibility field notes nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and other eligible entities as described in the full solicitation, the key limitation is geographic and operational: applicants must be operating within Wyoming. Another important service restriction applies to proposals involving direct services to youth: if an applicant plans to provide direct services, the youth served must not include individuals age 18 or older. In other words, direct service programs funded under this solicitation must focus on youth under 18.
The solicitation allows collaborative applications that involve two or more entities, which can be useful for statewide or multi-county efforts. However, one eligible entity must serve as the lead applicant, and the other participating entities should be included as subrecipients. The lead applicant is expected to hold primary responsibility for administering the federal funds and managing the overall program, including compliance and performance. OJJDP will consider only one application per lead applicant, although the same organization may still participate as a subrecipient on multiple different proposals submitted by other lead applicants.
Key dates for the opportunity include a posted and creation date of January 16, 2015, and an original and current closing date of March 17, 2015. The archive date is April 16, 2015, indicating that this is a time-limited FY 2015 competition that has since closed, but the summary reflects the structure and requirements of the opportunity as it was announced.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full solicitation, OJJDP directed them to the NCJRS Response Center, reachable by phone at 800-851-3420, by email at responsecenter@ncjrs.gov, or via web chat at https://webcontact.ncjrs.gov/ncjchat/chat.jsp. The full solicitation (linked as "Full Solicitation" in the listing) would contain the detailed program purpose areas, allowable and unallowable costs, required application components, performance measures, and any additional eligibility clarifications referenced in the summary.
