Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Best Practices for Juvenile Drug Courts Training opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2990) is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to strengthen juvenile drug court programs by expanding access to high-quality training and technical guidance. The purpose is to help states, state and local courts, units of local government, and Indian tribal governments build and improve their capacity to develop, maintain, and enhance juvenile drug courts that serve substance-abusing youth. Rather than directly funding local treatment services or court operations, the initiative focuses on improving the knowledge, skills, and operational effectiveness of juvenile drug court teams by ensuring they are trained in proven approaches tailored to adolescents.
A central feature of the solicitation is OJJDPs intent to fund a single training provider (Expected Awards: 1) that can deliver instruction rooted in two core areas: best treatment practices for adolescents and effective juvenile drug court operations. The training content is expected to be guided by the Sixteen Strategies of Effective Juvenile Drug Courts (referred to in the announcement as the Strategies), which function as an organizing framework for how juvenile drug courts should be structured and run to improve outcomes. In practice, this means the selected provider would be responsible for helping juvenile drug court practitioners align their policies and day-to-day practices with evidence-informed standards, including how courts collaborate with treatment providers, supervise youth, respond to compliance and relapse, engage families, and manage cases in ways that reflect adolescent development.
The award is authorized under 42 USC Section 3797u 8 and is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services. The assistance instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that OJJDP expects to have substantial involvement in the project, such as helping guide priorities, approving major deliverables, or coordinating with other federal training and technical assistance efforts. The funding ceiling is up to 2,000,000 dollars, with no stated minimum award amount (Award Floor: 0), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for organizations that may not have additional funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broad but targeted toward organizations capable of delivering specialized juvenile drug court training at a high level. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (including faith-based, community, and tribal organizations), for-profit organizations (other than small businesses) and small businesses, and both public and private institutions of higher education, including tribal institutions of higher education. A key condition for for-profit applicants is that they must agree to waive any profit or fees for services, meaning the project must be carried out on a no-profit basis. OJJDP also allows joint applications from multiple eligible entities, as long as one organization is clearly designated as the primary applicant for official correspondence and grant management, and the partnership commitments are documented through materials like memoranda of understanding, letters of support, or statements of work.
Timing and basic administrative details are clearly defined in the posting. The opportunity was posted on April 21, 2011, with an application closing date of June 6, 2011, and an archive date of July 6, 2011. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.585, the Drug Court Discretionary Grant Program. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating solicitation requirements were directed to the Justice Information Center, available by phone at 1-877-927-5657 or by email at JIC@telesishq.com, with extended hours on the closing date to support last-minute submission issues.
Overall, the grant is structured to identify one highly qualified provider that can deliver consistent, high-impact training to juvenile drug courts nationwide (or across multiple jurisdictions) to improve program design and day-to-day practice. By emphasizing adolescent-specific treatment best practices and court operations aligned with the Sixteen Strategies, OJJDP is signaling that juvenile drug courts should be developmentally informed, treatment-driven, and operationally disciplined, with training serving as the main lever to improve outcomes for youth and strengthen the courts that serve them.
