Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2024 172206

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering a FY24 continuation funding opportunity titled "Supporting Effective Interventions for Youth with Problematic or Illegal Sexual Behavior Training and Technical Assistance - Invited to Apply." The purpose of this award is to provide specialized training and technical assistance (TTA) to the sites that are already funded under OJJDP's "Supporting Effective Interventions for Youth with Problematic or Illegal Sexual Behavior" program. In practical terms, the grant is meant to help those project sites implement interventions more effectively, strengthen practice quality and consistency, and support outcomes that align with the Department of Justice mission: reducing violent crime, preventing victimization, and improving public safety.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means OJJDP expects to have an active role in overseeing the work, coordinating with the recipient, and shaping deliverables as the project progresses. It is categorized as continuation funding and is also labeled "Invited to Apply," indicating it is not a broadly competitive solicitation open to a wide field of applicants. The listing identifies the University of Oklahoma in the description, which strongly suggests that the invitation is directed to that organization as the intended applicant for this continuation award.

Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number O-OJJDP-2024-172206 and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 16.543, which corresponds to OJJDP program funding. The award ceiling is $400,000, and OJJDP anticipates making one award, reinforcing that this is a targeted, single-recipient continuation effort rather than a multi-award competition. The opportunity falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, consistent with its focus on juvenile justice system responses and public safety outcomes. The original closing date for submission was July 29, 2024, and the posting shows a creation date of July 22, 2024, indicating a short application window typical of invited continuation actions.

Substantively, the grant centers on supporting project sites working with youth who have exhibited problematic or illegal sexual behavior by ensuring those sites have access to high-quality TTA. That can include building staff skills, reinforcing evidence-informed approaches, improving implementation fidelity, and offering ongoing consultation to address common operational challenges such as assessment practices, intervention delivery, multidisciplinary coordination, and strategies that prioritize both youth rehabilitation and victim safety. The overall goal is to strengthen the effectiveness of funded interventions across participating sites, so the system response is more consistent, better informed, and more likely to reduce future harm.
