Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171826
The OJJDP FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Opioid Affected Youth Initiative Training and Technical Assistance opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), under CFDA 16.842. It is designed to strengthen how states, local communities, tribal jurisdictions, and a range of organizations respond to the opioid epidemic as it affects children, youth, and families, with an emphasis on practical training and technical assistance (TTA) that helps jurisdictions implement and improve real-world programs and strategies.
At its core, the grant funds an effort to deliver targeted expertise that helps partners better identify opioid-related impacts on young people and families, respond effectively in a way that supports safety and well-being, and connect individuals to treatment and supportive services. The initiative is framed around ensuring public safety while also improving outcomes for youth who may be directly or indirectly affected by opioid misuse, including exposure in the home, caregiver substance use disorder, involvement with child welfare, school disruptions, trauma, and increased risk of justice system contact. Rather than primarily funding direct services, the focus here is on building the capacity of systems and providers through guidance, training, tools, and implementation support.
The solicitation also explicitly sits within the Department of Justice and OJP priorities around civil rights and racial equity, access to justice, support for crime victims and justice-involved individuals, strengthening community safety, addressing evolving threats, and building community trust. In practice, that means the TTA supported by this award is expected to help jurisdictions adopt approaches that are fair, effective, and accessible, and that account for disparities and barriers that can affect treatment access, service quality, and youth outcomes.
This opportunity is listed as "invited to apply" and categorized as a continuation award, indicating it is not a broad open competition and is intended for a specific recipient or a limited set of recipients identified by the agency. The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally means DOJ/OJJDP anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on deliverables, coordination with federal priorities, and ongoing oversight or technical direction during the project period.
Funding is up to an award ceiling of $1,500,000, with one expected award. Eligible applicant types are described broadly (with details referenced in the solicitation's additional eligibility information) and may include states, communities, tribal jurisdictions, nonprofit and for-profit organizations, and institutions of higher education, reflecting the cross-system nature of addressing opioid impacts on youth. The opportunity was posted July 14, 2023, with an original closing date of July 20, 2023, underscoring that this was a time-limited, targeted continuation action.
The statutory authority cited for the program is 34 U.S.C. 11171-11172, along with Pub. L. No. 117-328 (136 Stat. 4459, 4538), which provides the legal basis for OJJDP to support these activities. Overall, the grant is aimed at ensuring that jurisdictions and organizations have the knowledge, resources, and implementation support needed to deploy evidence-informed, coordinated responses for children and families affected by opioids, while aligning the work with broader justice, equity, and community safety goals.Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171826
