Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 Tribal Youth Program Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is a discretionary, federally funded cooperative agreement intended to support one national training and technical assistance (TTA) provider that can strengthen juvenile justice capacity in federally recognized tribes and among OJJDP-funded tribal program grantees. The core purpose is to deliver culturally specific, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate training, resources, and hands-on technical assistance that helps tribes develop, expand, improve, and maintain tribal juvenile justice systems. While the provider is expected to be able to assist tribes broadly across the country, OJJDP makes clear that, when resources have to be prioritized, tribes already funded through OJJDP tribal program grants should be served first.
The work emphasized in this solicitation centers on building tribal capacity and improving practice in several high-need priority areas. These include support for juvenile healing to wellness courts (a tribally grounded court model often linked to substance use and holistic community healing approaches), tribal youth-focused prevention, intervention, and treatment programming, and improved tribal-state collaboration to better address the needs of American Indian and Alaska Native children who have been exposed to violence. The selected applicant is also expected to coordinate closely with OJJDP and align efforts with other OJJDP training and technical assistance initiatives and providers, so that tribes receive consistent guidance and do not encounter fragmented or duplicative support.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the award was planned as a single cooperative agreement (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.731 (Tribal Youth Program). The funding opportunity number is OJJDP-2015-4140, the announcement was posted March 13, 2015, and the application deadline was May 12, 2015 (with an archive date of June 11, 2015). Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement in the project, typically meaning closer coordination with OJJDP on planning, deliverables, and ongoing implementation than would be common under a standard grant.
Eligibility was broad and included states and territories, units of local government, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal and nontribal nonprofits, for-profit organizations, and tribal and nontribal institutions of higher education (including public, state-controlled, and private IHEs). A key condition applied to for-profit applicants: they had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP encouraged collaborative proposals involving multiple entities, but required that one eligible organization serve as the lead applicant and take primary responsibility for administering the award and managing the full project, with partners included as subrecipients if applicable. OJJDP also limited submissions to one application per lead applicant, though an organization could still participate as a subrecipient on multiple proposals. Finally, the solicitation noted that OJJDP could choose to make awards in future fiscal years using applications submitted under this announcement, depending on application quality and the availability of appropriations.
The legal authority cited for the program comes from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235), under the Juvenile Justice Programs heading, paragraph (3)(A). Practical support for applicants was routed through Grants.gov for submission assistance and through the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) Response Center for solicitation requirements, with a posted FAQ link intended to address common applicant questions and submission issues.
