Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171447
The OJJDP FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Administrative Funding Adjustment to Previously Funded Award (OJJDP FY2020 Mentoring Opportunities for Youth Initiative) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), listed under Assistance Listing (CFDA) 16.726. The purpose of this opportunity is to provide additional administrative funding to support and adjust a previously funded award connected to OJJDP's FY2020 Mentoring Opportunities for Youth Initiative. In practical terms, this type of solicitation is typically aimed at strengthening, extending, or properly aligning the scope and budget of an existing, already-funded project rather than launching an entirely new competitive program.
The program sits within the broader Office of Justice Programs (OJP) priorities, which emphasize promoting civil rights and racial equity, improving access to justice, supporting victims of crime and people impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from crime and emerging threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. Within that framework, the focus here is mentoring: funding is intended to help organizations enhance and expand mentoring services for children and youth. That can include improving the reach of mentoring programs, strengthening service delivery, and ensuring mentoring supports are responsive to the needs of young people and their communities.
This opportunity is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) in the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area. It was posted with a creation date of September 15, 2022, and an original closing date of September 22, 2022, indicating a short turnaround that is common for invited or adjustment-related solicitations. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $1,044,986, reinforcing that it is likely tied to a specific previously funded recipient or project where OJJDP is making an administrative funding modification rather than running an open, broad competition.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with clarification expected in the solicitation's eligibility section (referenced as a text field titled "Additional Information on Eligibility"). In invited-to-apply contexts, eligibility is often effectively limited to a particular organization or a very small set of prior award recipients, even when the public listing appears broad, because the intent is to adjust or supplement an existing award already aligned with OJJDP requirements and program goals.
The statutory authority cited for the funding is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-93, 133 Stat. 2317, 2410). This legal authority underpins DOJ's ability to allocate funds for these mentoring-related objectives, including administrative adjustments to support continuity and effectiveness in delivering mentoring services to youth. The official funding opportunity number associated with this listing is O-OJJDP-2022-171447.Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171447
