Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 Youth with Sexual Behavior Problems Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention that supports community-based responses for youth who have engaged in problematic sexual behaviors. The central purpose is to fund agencies that can run a comprehensive, multidisciplinary program that blends intervention and supervision for the youth with coordinated treatment and support for the child victim or victims and their families. Rather than treating the youth in isolation, the program emphasizes an approach that brings together the relevant systems (such as juvenile justice partners, behavioral health providers, victim service providers, schools, and child welfare as appropriate) so services are aligned, safety is prioritized, and families receive consistent guidance and support.
A key feature of the program is its target population and eligibility criteria for the youth served. Participating youth must receive a mental health evaluation to determine whether they are appropriate candidates for community-based treatment and interventions, which signals that the program is focused on diverting suitable cases away from deeper system involvement when safe and clinically appropriate. The solicitation also specifies that the targeted youth should have no prior court involvement for sexual misconduct, reinforcing an early-intervention emphasis aimed at preventing further harm and reducing the likelihood of future justice-system penetration. For any applicant proposing direct services, the youth served must be age 17 or younger.
The services envisioned under this grant extend beyond the youth to include the child victims and the adults responsible for them. Award recipients are expected to provide or coordinate treatment services for victims and to engage parents or caregivers of both the youth who offended and the child victim(s). In practice, this typically means building a wraparound model that can include evidence-informed clinical treatment, structured supervision and case management, safety planning, family education and support, and close coordination among professionals to manage risk, monitor progress, and address trauma and family needs.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, meaning OJJDP is likely to maintain substantial involvement in the project beyond standard grant monitoring, such as providing guidance, setting expectations for deliverables, or participating in program planning and oversight. The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2015 4212) was posted April 30, 2015, with an application deadline of June 15, 2015, and an archive date of July 15, 2015. OJJDP anticipated making two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $600,000 and an award ceiling of $300,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
Eligible applicants are broadly defined and include states (including territories), units of local government (including city/township, county), federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For-profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee under the award. The solicitation also restricts eligibility for organizations that are currently or were previously funded through an OJJDP Youth with Sexual Behavior Problems program solicitation, which is intended to broaden participation and distribute funding beyond prior recipients. Partnerships are encouraged: applications may include two or more entities, but one eligible entity must serve as the lead applicant with primary responsibility for administering the award and managing the entire project, while other entities may participate as subrecipients. OJJDP would consider only one application per lead applicant, though an organization could still participate as a subrecipient on multiple proposals.
For applicant support, technical help with Grants.gov submission was available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and support@grants.gov, and programmatic or solicitation-related assistance through the NCJRS Response Center (800-851-3420), responsecenter@ncjrs.gov, or web chat via the NCJRS site.
