Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2016 Smart on Juvenile Justice: Age of Criminal Responsibility Training and Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2016 10100) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) solicitation designed to help states modernize how they treat older adolescents in the justice system. The central focus is on states that, by statute or practice, automatically treat all 17-year-olds as adults for justice system purposes, as well as the two states that automatically treat all 16-year-olds as adults. Rather than funding direct services or facilities, the grant emphasizes targeted training and technical assistance aimed at supporting policy and system change in those jurisdictions.
This project sits under OJJDPs broader Smart on Juvenile Justice initiative, which promotes systemwide juvenile justice reform strategies intended to reduce reliance on out-of-home placement, improve outcomes for youth, and reduce reoffending. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to help states move toward developmentally appropriate responses for older teens by providing expertise, implementation support, and guidance that can help leaders and stakeholders navigate changes in law, policy, and practice. The underlying idea is that aligning age-of-responsibility policies with research-informed juvenile justice approaches can improve public safety outcomes while avoiding unnecessary exposure of youth to the adult system.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically expects an active role in shaping, overseeing, or collaborating on project activities as compared to a more hands-off grant. OJJDP anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of $200,000. The solicitation was posted and created on May 23, 2016, with an application closing date of July 7, 2016. The program is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is associated with CFDA number 16.827.
Eligibility is broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than IHEs), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), and small businesses. This range of eligible applicants reflects the training and technical assistance nature of the work, which may be delivered by universities, research and policy organizations, technical assistance providers, or other entities with demonstrated expertise in juvenile justice systems, policy implementation, and stakeholder engagement.
Overall, the opportunity funds a focused, national-support style project: building capacity in specific states where youth are automatically processed as adults based solely on age, and equipping those jurisdictions with the training, tools, and implementation support needed to pursue reforms consistent with Smart on Juvenile Justice goals of minimizing unnecessary confinement, improving youth trajectories, and reducing recidivism.
