Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2016 9153
The OJJDP FY 16 Faith and Community-Based Youth Violence Prevention Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) designed to strengthen how faith-based and community-based organizations support local youth violence prevention work. The core purpose is to fund one lead organization (or a lead working with partners) to act as a broker and coordinator of training and technical assistance (TTA) for groups representing all faith traditions and for community institutions that are already involved in, or want to become involved in, OJJDP-supported youth violence prevention efforts.
The work is specifically tied to three major youth violence prevention initiatives: Defending Childhood, the National Forum on Youth Violence Prevention, and the Community-Based Violence Prevention Program. OJJDP notes that these initiatives are being funded across 39 sites nationwide, and the intent of the grant is to make sure local sites and participating organizations can access practical, relevant support to build capacity, align with evidence-informed approaches, and better coordinate their prevention strategies. In practice, this means the funded provider would be expected to organize and deliver targeted trainings, develop and share usable tools and resources, help local partners problem-solve implementation challenges, and generally serve as a connector between national expertise and on-the-ground community and faith leaders.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more hands-on relationship with the federal agency than a standard grant. The solicitation anticipates a single award, with an award ceiling of $1,435,000. OJJDP also indicates it may make supplemental awards to the selected grantee(s) or make additional awards in future fiscal years for applications under this solicitation, depending on performance, application quality, and the availability of appropriations. The original closing date for applications was April 12, 2016, and the opportunity was created on February 12, 2016. The CFDA listing associated with this opportunity is 16.123, and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities) and institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities). The eligibility list also references public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education, small businesses, and other for-profit organizations (other than small businesses). A key condition is financial: recipient organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, meaning the award is intended to cover allowable project costs rather than generate profit.
OJJDP strongly encourages collaborative applications involving two or more entities, reflecting an emphasis on combining complementary strengths (for example, a national training provider partnering with a faith-based network or a university evaluation or curriculum development team). Even in a partnership, the structure is clear: one eligible entity must apply as the lead and serve as the fiscal and administrative manager, while the other participating organizations should be proposed as subrecipients. Applicants are also expected to explain how project management responsibilities will be implemented, coordinated, and tracked across partners, which implies attention to governance, communication routines, task assignment, timelines, and accountability systems to ensure smooth execution of the TTA mission.
In short, this opportunity funds a national-level or multi-entity effort to coordinate and deliver high-quality training and technical assistance that helps faith and community organizations effectively participate in OJJDP youth violence prevention initiatives across dozens of sites, with strong expectations around partnership management, coordination, and cost accountability under a cooperative agreement model.Apply for OJJDP 2016 9153
