Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2024 172246

The OJJDP FY24 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustment to Previously Funded Award (OJJDP FY19 Title II Formula Grants Program) is a targeted federal grant action from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is not a broad, open competition; instead, it is a mandatory, invitation-only funding opportunity intended to modify or supplement an already existing award made under the FY19 Title II Formula Grants Program. In practical terms, this kind of solicitation is used when OJJDP needs to make an administrative adjustment to a previously funded grant, such as aligning budgets, extending or updating certain administrative components, or otherwise ensuring the prior award can be properly managed and completed in line with federal requirements.

The purpose of the underlying Title II Formula Grants framework is to support states as they plan, establish, operate, coordinate, and evaluate juvenile justice projects. The activities supported can be implemented directly by the state or indirectly through grants and contracts with public and private agencies. The program scope is broad and designed to strengthen juvenile justice systems through education and training initiatives, research and evaluation work, prevention programming, diversion options that steer youth away from deeper system involvement, and treatment and rehabilitation services that address youth needs and reduce reoffending. The solicitation explicitly ties these goals to the Department of Justice mission areas, emphasizing rule of law, public safety, and the protection of civil rights, which typically signals an expectation that funded work aligns with fair treatment, lawful procedures, and nondiscriminatory practices across juvenile justice operations.

This specific opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.540 and falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is listed as mandatory, reinforcing that it is designed for a specific recipient rather than a wide pool of applicants. The eligible applicant category is listed as "Others," but the description names the intended recipient: the Alaska Department of Family and Community Services. That detail strongly indicates this is a single-recipient action meant to adjust administrative funding tied to Alaska's prior Title II award rather than to solicit new projects from multiple jurisdictions.

Key administrative details show the opportunity was created on 2024-09-06 with an original closing date of 2024-09-09, which is a very short turnaround typical of invited-to-apply administrative actions. The expected number of awards is 1, and the award ceiling is $29,270, indicating a relatively small adjustment amount compared to full program awards. The funding opportunity number is O-OJJDP-2024-172246, and the official title clarifies that the adjustment relates back to an FY19 Title II Formula Grants Program award, making it clear the funding is connected to an ongoing or previously funded effort rather than a new initiative.

Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as a limited, administrative funding update for Alaska under OJJDP's Title II formula framework, aimed at supporting continued or properly aligned implementation of juvenile justice system improvements. It supports a range of system-enhancing activities, including prevention through rehabilitation, and emphasizes coordination, evaluation, and adherence to DOJ priorities around safety, lawful governance, and civil rights protections.
