Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 Studies Program on At Risk or System Involved Girls (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2015 4133) was a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) under CFDA 16.830 (Girls in the Juvenile Justice System). The purpose of the program was to build objective, independent knowledge about how girls come into contact with the justice system and what that contact looks like across key decision points, using either new research studies and/or secondary analyses of existing datasets. In practical terms, OJJDP was looking to fund rigorous work that helps clarify the extent of girls involvement, the pathways that bring them into the system, and the consequences of system involvement over time.
The scope of the research focus was broad but clearly centered on girls interactions with both juvenile and adult justice systems. The solicitation highlighted a full range of system touchpoints that could be studied, including arrests, referrals to court, diversion decisions, charges filed, placement in secure juvenile detention, placement in adult jails and lockups, delinquency findings, placement in secure juvenile correctional facilities, probation supervision, and transfers to the adult criminal justice system. By naming each of these stages, the opportunity signaled interest in studies that can illuminate where girls enter the system, how they move through it, and how outcomes may differ depending on the decisions made at each point.
In terms of funding, OJJDP anticipated making about three awards with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The award ceiling was $50,000 per grant, with no stated minimum award amount (award floor $0). The funding instrument was a grant, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for organizations that may not have the resources to provide matching funds.
Eligibility was expansive and included a wide mix of potential applicants: nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and local governments (city/township and county). This wide eligibility pool suggests OJJDP was open to proposals from academic research centers, policy organizations, jurisdictions seeking to analyze their own administrative data, and private research or evaluation firms with relevant expertise.
Key administrative details include the posting date of April 16, 2015, with an application deadline (original and current closing date) of June 1, 2015. The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2015. The funding activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, aligning with the program goal of producing research that can inform justice policy and practice related to girls.
For applicants needing help, OJJDP directed people to the NCJRS Response Center (phone 800-851-3420, email responsecenter@ncjrs.gov) and provided a web chat option through the NCJRS site. OJJDP also pointed applicants to a publicly posted FAQ document specific to the solicitation, which is often where agencies clarify allowable activities, expectations for research design, and application requirements.
