OJJDP is seeking a Tribal Youth Program training and technical assistance provider to provide culturally, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate training; support, resources; information; and other related technical assistance to all OJJDP tribal program grantees and federally recognized tribes across the nation. When allocating resources, OJJDP-funded tribal program grantees would receive priority. The successful applicant will develop culturally specific training and technical assistance for tribes seeking to build capacity to develop, expand, improve and/or maintain their juvenile justice...

Eligible applicants are limited to states (including territories); units of local government; federally recognized tribal governments, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior; tribal and nontribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations; and tribal and nontribal institutions of higher education. For-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP welcomes applications that involve two or more entities; however, one eligible entity must be the applicant and the others must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire project. OJJDP will consider only one application per lead applicant; however, subrecipients may be part of multiple proposals. OJJDP may elect to make awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
