Opportunity Information: Apply for OJJDP 2018 13501
The OJJDP FY 18 Juvenile Justice Emergency Planning and Demonstration Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its central aim is to help juvenile justice residential facilities strengthen how they prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies by putting into practice the principles described in the guidance document Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities. In practical terms, the program is designed to fund work that develops new emergency plans, improves existing plans, and/or supports the implementation of emergency planning activities within residential settings that house youth involved in the juvenile justice system. The focus is on ensuring these facilities have realistic, workable procedures to protect young people and staff during a wide range of incidents, and to maintain continuity of care, supervision, and essential operations when disruptions occur.
The opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2018 13501) is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and is tied to CFDA 16.823. Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. OJJDP anticipated making three awards under this solicitation. The solicitation was created on February 13, 2018, and the original application closing date was April 16, 2018, establishing a relatively defined window for applicants to propose demonstration-style efforts that can be implemented within juvenile residential contexts.
Eligibility is broad, reflecting the range of entities that operate, oversee, support, or partner with juvenile justice residential facilities. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education (including public and state-controlled universities); nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) as well as small businesses; and other applicants as clarified in the solicitation's additional eligibility guidance. This wide eligibility suggests OJJDP intended the program to reach not only government-run facilities but also contracted providers, technical assistance organizations, and research or training partners that can help facilities build stronger emergency readiness.
Overall, the program is essentially a targeted investment in juvenile facility preparedness. Rather than focusing on general juvenile justice programming, it centers on the specific operational realities of residential facilities and the heightened duty of care required when youth are in custody. Projects supported under this initiative would be expected to translate emergency planning principles into concrete facility-level practices, potentially including coordinated planning with local emergency management, staff training and exercises, procedures for communication and reunification, and clear protocols for evacuation, lockdown, medical emergencies, and other critical incidents. The intent is to demonstrate improved planning and implementation approaches that can be replicated or scaled across other facilities and jurisdictions.Apply for OJJDP 2018 13501
