Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2018 14605
The OJJDP FY 18 Addressing Training Needs for Juvenile Prosecutors grant is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to strengthen the quality and consistency of juvenile prosecution practice at the state level. The focus is on helping state prosecutor offices that oversee or coordinate training for prosecutors statewide, such as State Prosecutor Coordinating Offices, close specific training gaps affecting juvenile prosecutors and the staff who support them. The overall intent is practical: improve the skills and knowledge base of juvenile prosecutors so juvenile cases are handled more effectively, in ways that promote public safety while also improving outcomes for youth involved in the justice system.
Funding under this program can be used to identify what training is missing or outdated, develop new training content, and/or supplement existing statewide training resources and tools. In other words, the grant is meant to support the creation or enhancement of materials and systems that can be used across a state, rather than one-off, local efforts. The emphasis on statewide resources suggests deliverables like standardized curricula, training modules, manuals and bench guides, scenario-based learning tools, on-demand learning libraries, or other structured training supports that can be adopted broadly by juvenile prosecutors and their teams.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2018 14605) is offered as a grant under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 16.540. Eligible applicants include state governments and other entities as clarified in the solicitation’s additional eligibility language, with the key qualifier being that the applicant is responsible for administering or coordinating training for state prosecutors. OJJDP anticipated making up to 8 awards, with an award ceiling of $140,000 per award, indicating relatively modest, targeted investments intended to produce concrete training improvements and usable tools rather than large-scale program expansions. The solicitation was created on May 31, 2018, with an original closing date of July 2, 2018.
In summary, this grant targets statewide prosecutor training infrastructure for juvenile justice, supporting efforts to diagnose training needs, build and distribute better training resources, and upgrade the professional capacity of juvenile prosecutors and their support staff. The expected payoff is more informed decision-making and improved practice in juvenile cases, contributing to safer communities and better, more developmentally appropriate outcomes for young people.Apply for OJJDP 2018 14605
