Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2016 Studies Program on Trauma and Justice-Involved Youth is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to fund research that strengthens what is known about how trauma and violence exposure relate to youth contact with the justice system, and how justice system involvement itself may affect young people who have already experienced trauma. Rather than focusing on direct service delivery, the emphasis is on building objective, independent knowledge that can inform better policy and practice in juvenile justice settings.
The program supports two main types of work: (1) expanding or enhancing existing research designs (for example, adding new measures, extending analyses, or broadening a study population within an ongoing research effort), and (2) conducting secondary analyses of existing datasets (for example, reanalyzing data already collected by agencies, prior studies, or longitudinal projects to answer new trauma-justice questions). Across both approaches, OJJDP is looking for studies that clarify three core areas: the developmental pathways that connect violence exposure and traumatic experiences to later justice involvement; the potential for justice system contact to contribute to retraumatization (such as through detention, court processes, separation from supports, restrictive settings, or other justice-related experiences); and the development or identification of culturally appropriate, evidence-based, trauma-informed practices that can be applied within juvenile justice contexts.
A specific priority in this solicitation is research that centers youth whose justice system involvement has often been understudied. OJJDP highlights interest in proposals that examine the experiences and needs of Hispanic/Latino youth, American Indian/Alaska Native youth, LGBTQI youth, and girls. This focus reflects an intent to generate findings that are more representative and that can guide trauma-informed approaches that fit the cultural and contextual realities of these groups, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all assumptions.
In terms of basic grant details, the opportunity is offered as a grant under CFDA 16.540 within the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category. The funding opportunity number is OJJDP 2016 10040. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $75,000, and OJJDP anticipated making about 6 awards. The solicitation was posted on May 9, 2016, with an application closing date of June 23, 2016.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city/township governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education); for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and other applicants as further described in the solicitation’s additional eligibility guidance. Overall, the opportunity is aimed at encouraging rigorous, policy-relevant research that can improve understanding of trauma among justice-involved youth and strengthen culturally responsive, trauma-informed practices across juvenile justice systems.

What does it mean to "expand or enhance an existing research design" under this program?
It refers to building onto an ongoing research effort, for example by adding new measures, extending analyses, or broadening the study population within an existing study.

What topic areas is OJJDP especially looking for in proposed studies?
