Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY10 NISMART 3 grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2010 2527) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, focused on supporting the design and implementation of the third National Incidence Studies of Missing, Abducted, Runaway, and Thrownaway Children (NISMART 3). The purpose of NISMART 3 is to produce updated, national-level measurements of the size and characteristics of the missing children problem in the United States, including missing, abducted, runaway, and thrownaway children. The work is positioned as an information and statistics effort, meaning the core deliverable is credible national estimates and a clearer understanding of how and why children go missing, based on carefully constructed research methods and data collection.
The solicitation funds a set of complementary studies rather than a single simple survey. In practical terms, the initiative is intended to generate national estimates by drawing data from multiple sources that each capture different parts of the problem. Specifically, the description highlights surveys of households, juvenile residential facilities, and law enforcement agencies. The household component is aimed at capturing incidents that may never come to official attention, while the juvenile residential facility component helps measure missing episodes connected to youth in care, placements, or other residential settings. The law enforcement survey component focuses on cases known to police and allows estimates and case characteristics to be grounded in agency records and reporting practices. Together, these streams are meant to provide a more complete, cross-validated picture of missing children incidents across the country.
The total estimated funding amount is $1,000,000, and the award ceiling is also $1,000,000, indicating the program anticipates making one award that funds the full scope of work under a single grant. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. The grant instrument type is a standard grant, and the activity category is listed as Information and Statistics, which reinforces that the central objective is national measurement, research design, and implementation rather than direct services.
Eligibility is broad and includes federally recognized Native American tribal governments, state governments, counties, cities or townships, special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education where applicable), and both public and private institutions of higher education. This range suggests OJJDP intended to allow applications from research-capable public agencies, academic research centers, and established nonprofit research organizations that have the capacity to design and execute large-scale national studies involving multiple sampling frames and respondent groups.
The opportunity was posted on February 24, 2010, with an application closing date of April 28, 2010, and an archive date of May 28, 2010. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.543, Missing Childrens Assistance. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact is Jeffrey Gersh, Program Manager, at 202 514 5535.
