Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 Youth Violence Prevention Coordinated Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary U.S. Department of Justice opportunity designed to strengthen youth violence prevention work in communities by organizing and delivering coordinated training and technical assistance (TTA). OJJDP frames youth violence prevention as something that has to be tackled across multiple levels at once, including individual behavior and needs, peer influences, family dynamics, community conditions, and broader societal factors. The core idea is that jurisdictions make better progress when they share a common framework, have access to practical support, and participate in structured learning communities that help them move from short-term action steps to long-term systems change and improved youth well-being.
The purpose of the award is to fund a single organization (or a lead organization representing a partnership/consortium) to broker, coordinate, and provide relevant TTA to 39 jurisdictions already funded by OJJDP under three major youth violence prevention initiatives: Defending Childhood (focused on children exposed to violence), the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention, and the Community Based Violence Prevention initiative. Rather than funding direct services in one location, this program is focused on supporting and aligning the work happening across these 39 sites. The selected provider would be expected to act as the central hub that helps jurisdictions access the right expertise, build capacity, share lessons learned, and improve implementation through coordinated support and peer learning.
This opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means OJJDP expects substantial involvement in guiding the project, shaping deliverables, and coordinating activities throughout the period of performance. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the solicitation is tied to multiple CFDA numbers corresponding to the three signature initiatives (16.123 Community Based Violence Prevention Program, 16.818 Children Exposed to Violence, and 16.819 National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention). The program authority is cited from the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2015 (P.L. 113-235), under specified juvenile justice and state/local law enforcement assistance provisions.
Funding for the solicitation was estimated at $2,185,000, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and no stated award floor. The solicitation anticipated one award, although OJJDP noted it reserves the right to make one or more awards, to issue supplemental awards based on performance and funds, and potentially to make awards for future fiscal years under the same solicitation depending on appropriations and application merit. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligibility covered nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofits and tribal for-profits) as well as institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For-profit applicants were required to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is a common federal requirement when the intent is capacity-building rather than commercial gain. OJJDP strongly encouraged applications that included two or more entities, signaling a preference for teams that combine complementary expertise (for example, youth violence prevention strategy, implementation science, training design, evaluation support, and community engagement). Even so, the application had to identify one eligible entity as the applicant and fiscal/administrative lead, with project partners structured as subrecipients. Applicants also needed to explain how they would implement, coordinate, and track project management responsibilities across partners, emphasizing the importance of clear governance and accountability in a multi-organization approach.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number (OJJDP-2015-4057), an original closing date of March 2, 2015 that was extended to April 20, 2015, and an archive date of May 20, 2015. The posting date was December 31, 2014. For application or solicitation assistance, OJJDP directed applicants to the NCJRS Response Center via phone (800-851-3420), email (responsecenter@ncjrs.gov), or web chat through the NCJRS contact site.
