Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171413
The grant opportunity titled "OJJDP FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Supporting Tribal Youth: Training and Technical Assistance and Youth Leadership Development" is a continuation funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond issuing funds, such as collaborating on project direction, deliverables, or oversight. The activity area falls under law, justice, and legal services, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.731, an OJJDP program listing used for federal assistance tracking and reporting.
This opportunity is specifically labeled "Invited to Apply," signaling that it is not a broadly competitive open solicitation. Instead, OJJDP intended it for a specific organization or a limited set of applicants that received an official invitation to submit an application. The public posting directs applicants to the OJP Invitation Letter for the program-specific details, which indicates the key requirements, scope of work, deliverables, project period, and other conditions are contained in that invitation rather than in the public synopsis. In practical terms, this type of posting often appears when an agency is continuing or expanding an existing initiative and is requesting an application from a particular provider with an established track record or unique capacity relevant to the work.
The program focus is on supporting Tribal youth through two closely related strategies: (1) training and technical assistance (TTA) and (2) youth leadership development. While the synopsis does not provide operational details, the title communicates the core intent: building capacity and strengthening services that benefit Tribal communities and their young people. Training and technical assistance typically involves helping communities, programs, or systems improve how they design, implement, and evaluate youth-serving efforts. Youth leadership development generally emphasizes empowering young people to develop skills, participate in decision-making, and contribute to community-based solutions, especially in contexts where culturally grounded approaches and community engagement are central.
The award information in the listing indicates an anticipated single award, with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $1,500,000. As a continuation category opportunity, this amount may reflect continued support for an ongoing initiative rather than the launch of a brand-new program. The opportunity was created on August 5, 2022, with an original application closing date of August 17, 2022, which is a relatively short application window that further aligns with the "invited" nature of the solicitation.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full materials for clarification. Because the public summary repeatedly points to the OJP Invitation Letter, the precise eligibility constraints and requirements are not included here. In invited opportunities, eligibility may effectively be limited to the invited entity or entities, even if the public listing uses a general category label.
The statutory authority for the funding is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2022 (Public Law 117-103), along with 34 U.S.C. 11171-11172. These citations establish the legal basis for DOJ to allocate appropriated funds to this type of juvenile justice-related activity, including initiatives that support Tribal youth and strengthen related services.
In summary, this is an OJJDP continuation cooperative agreement intended for an invited applicant to carry out work that supports Tribal youth by providing training and technical assistance and advancing youth leadership development, with up to $1.5 million available for one award, governed by DOJ’s FY 2022 appropriations authority and related statutory provisions, and with the detailed program expectations contained in the official OJP Invitation Letter.Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171413
