Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2024 172073
The OJJDP FY24 Reducing Risk for Girls in the Juvenile Justice System grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number O-OJJDP-2024-172073) is a discretionary federal funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The purpose of the solicitation is to help communities better support girls age 17 and younger who are either at risk of entering the juvenile justice system or who are already involved in it. The core emphasis is on practical, community-based solutions that can prevent deeper system involvement and improve outcomes for girls through timely support, early intervention, and appropriate treatment services.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have more ongoing involvement than with a standard grant. In practice, applicants should be prepared for active coordination with OJJDP, including collaboration on implementation, reporting, and performance measurement expectations that often come with cooperative agreement awards. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 16.830.
The grant is designed to support projects that develop, enhance, or expand programming for girls. That can include building new early intervention efforts where none exist, strengthening services already operating in a community, or scaling proven approaches to reach more youth. The target population is explicitly girls up to age 17, and the solicitation highlights both prevention-oriented support (for those at risk) and interventions for girls currently involved in the juvenile justice system. While the source description does not list specific program models, the wording clearly points toward structured services that address underlying needs and risk factors that contribute to justice involvement, with a strong focus on intervening early and providing treatment when appropriate.
Eligibility is broad and intentionally inclusive, allowing a wide range of entities to apply. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories as specified); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This broad eligibility suggests OJJDP is looking for cross-sector applicants, including local governments, schools, universities, community-based nonprofits, tribal entities, and private sector partners that can deliver or support effective services for girls.
The opportunity anticipates making about five awards, with an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 per award. The solicitation was created on April 9, 2024, and the original application closing date was May 28, 2024. Overall, the funding is aimed at helping communities put stronger, girl-responsive supports in place so that girls who are vulnerable to justice system contact, or who are already in the system, can access earlier help and more appropriate services that reduce risk, address needs, and improve long-term outcomes.Apply for O OJJDP 2024 172073
