Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2020 18134
The OJJDP FY 20 Juvenile Justice System Enhancements grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2020 18134) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to help jurisdictions strengthen how their juvenile justice systems prevent and respond to crime and related public safety concerns by supporting projects that are both innovative and grounded in research. A central expectation of the program is that applicants use data analysis to identify the specific problems they want to tackle, then design and test approaches that can show measurable impact.
The opportunity targets a wide range of juvenile justice and community safety challenges. It can support responses to chronic crime problems as well as emerging issues that may be newly surfacing in a community. It also explicitly recognizes the growing complexity of offenses involving technology, including challenges tied to investigating and prosecuting online child exploitation. Beyond crime patterns themselves, the program is equally concerned with operational or structural barriers that prevent juvenile justice agencies from effectively addressing these problems. In other words, the grant is not limited to street-level interventions; it can also fund work that improves systems, processes, coordination, and capability when those improvements are linked to better public safety and youth outcomes.
The scope of eligible project work spans the full continuum of juvenile justice decision points and services. This includes areas such as juvenile arrest practices, detention decisions and conditions, referrals to court, diversion options, court processes (adjudication), dispositions such as probation, and the use of out-of-home placements. It also covers other sanctions or services that youth may receive and the aftercare period when youth return to their communities. By covering these touchpoints, the program signals that applicants can focus on targeted improvements at a specific stage (for example, strengthening diversion pathways) or on broader, cross-system enhancements that reduce bottlenecks, improve fairness and effectiveness, or increase the system's capacity to respond to complex cases.
Awards are provided as grants under CFDA 16.827, with an award ceiling of $500,000. OJJDP anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation. The funding opportunity was posted on February 25, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 27, 2020. Eligible applicants are described broadly in the source information as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the solicitation's eligibility section; however, the program description makes clear that intended recipients include states, territories, tribal communities, and units of local government, reflecting an emphasis on place-based, jurisdiction-led solutions.
Overall, this grant opportunity is aimed at helping jurisdictions move toward data-informed, evidence-based improvements in juvenile justice operations and outcomes. It encourages applicants to identify concrete local challenges using analysis, implement a strategy that is innovative yet research-informed, and test that strategy in a way that can demonstrate what works for reducing crime, improving system performance, and better supporting youth and community safety.Apply for OJJDP 2020 18134
