Agency Solicitation:
OJJDP seeks to support states’ and counties’ implementation of innovative and/or research-based, data-informed recidivism-reduction policies, practices, and programs across multiple juvenile justice system components and disciplines, and sustainable strategies for reinvesting resulting costs saved or averted into effective juvenile justice prevention and intervention programs.
Additional Notes:
Applicants must describe how their proposed project/program will integrate and sustain meaningful youth and family partnerships into their project plan and budget. Depending on the nature of an applicant’s proposed project, youth and family partnership could consist of one or more of the following: individual-level partnership in case planning and direct service delivery (before, during, and after contact with youth-serving systems); agency-level partnership (e.g., in policy, practice, and program development, implementation, and evaluation; staffing; advisory bodies; budget development); or system-level partnership (e.g., in strategic planning activities, system improvement initiatives, advocacy strategies, reform efforts).
