Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2020 17412
The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "OJJDP FY 20 Reducing Risk for Girls in the Juvenile Justice System" (Funding Opportunity Number: OJJDP 2020 17412). The purpose of the program is to fund prevention and early intervention approaches specifically designed for girls who are already involved in the juvenile justice system. In practical terms, the focus is on reducing risk factors that contribute to continued justice involvement and improving outcomes by addressing needs early, before problems escalate further.
This opportunity sits in the law, justice, and legal services funding category and is administered as a grant under CFDA 16.830. The program description emphasizes strategies tailored to girls, which typically implies attention to the distinct pathways that often bring girls into the juvenile system, such as trauma exposure, family instability, exploitation, school disengagement, unmet behavioral health needs, and relational or community-based pressures. While the notice summary provided does not list required program models, the framing indicates OJJDP was seeking proposals that prevent deeper system penetration and interrupt repeat involvement through structured, evidence-informed services and supports.
Funding was structured with an award ceiling of $425,000 per award, and OJJDP anticipated making approximately four awards. The opportunity was created on March 31, 2020, with an original application closing date of June 1, 2020. Applicants were categorized broadly as "Others," with eligibility details referenced in an additional eligibility section within the full announcement, meaning eligibility likely depended on the specific definitions and conditions in the complete solicitation rather than being limited to a single applicant type like state agencies or universities.
Overall, the grant was designed to help communities and service providers build or strengthen targeted programming for justice-involved girls through prevention and early intervention, aligning resources with approaches that reduce risk, increase protective factors, and support healthier, more stable trajectories for girls impacted by the juvenile justice system.Apply for OJJDP 2020 17412
