Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171816
The OJJDP FY 2023 Invited to Apply - National Mentoring Resource Center opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on operating and expanding the OJJDP National Mentoring Resource Center. Through this award, OJJDP is aiming to strengthen the national infrastructure that supports youth mentoring by making it easier for mentoring programs and practitioners to access high-quality tools, practical guidance, and research-backed resources. The Resource Center is intended to serve as a central hub for comprehensive mentoring materials, including references, training content, and implementation supports that help organizations apply evidence-based and research-informed mentoring approaches in real-world settings.
A major emphasis of the solicitation is alignment with broader Department of Justice priorities, including advancing civil rights and racial equity, increasing access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. In practice, this means the Resource Center is expected to help mentoring organizations improve the quality, effectiveness, and reach of their services in ways that are equitable, responsive to community needs, and grounded in what research shows works. The overarching goal is capacity-building: improving mentoring organizations ability to develop strong programs, implement them with fidelity, and expand effective practices so more young people can benefit from safe, structured, and impactful mentoring relationships.
This opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 16.726 and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, ongoing coordination, guidance, and collaboration with OJJDP rather than a hands-off grant structure). The award ceiling is $2,650,000, and OJJDP anticipates making one award, reflecting that this is designed to support a single national entity or lead organization capable of maintaining and growing a centralized resource center at scale. The opportunity category is a continuation, and eligibility is described as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full solicitation, suggesting it is not broadly open competition and may be limited to a specific invited applicant or a narrow set of eligible entities.
Key administrative details include a creation date of June 30, 2023, and an original closing date of July 10, 2023, indicating a short application window consistent with an invited-to-apply continuation action. The legal authority for the funding is provided through the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328) and 34 U.S.C. 11131, which together authorize OJJDP to support national mentoring activities and the kind of technical assistance, training, and dissemination functions typically housed within a national resource center.Apply for O OJJDP 2023 171816
