OJJDP Invited to Apply - OJJDP Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Title II Supplemental (NY, WA and Guam) | O OJJDP 2021 56001

Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2021 56001

The grant opportunity titled "OJJDP Invited to Apply - OJJDP Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 Title II Supplemental (NY, WA and Guam)" is a continuation grant issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is tied to the OJJDP Formula Grants Program under Title II of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA). The opportunity is explicitly framed as an "invited to apply" competition, which usually means only certain jurisdictions or entities that received an invitation letter are expected to submit applications, and the detailed program instructions and requirements are contained in that Office of Justice Programs (OJP) invitation letter rather than being fully restated in the public synopsis.

This funding is categorized under law, justice, and legal services and is offered as a grant (not a contract or cooperative agreement). The assistance listing associated with the opportunity is CFDA 16.540, which corresponds to OJJDP juvenile justice formula funding. The statutory authority cited for the program is the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act at 34 U.S.C. sections 11131 through 11133, which is the part of the federal code that authorizes the Title II Formula Grants Program and outlines how funds are awarded to states and territories to support juvenile justice system improvements, delinquency prevention, and compliance-related activities.

The opportunity number is "O-OJJDP-2021-56001" and it was created on August 5, 2021, with an original closing date of August 13, 2021. That short application window is typical for invited or continuation actions where the applicant pool is limited and the recipients are often already participating in the program. The synopsis indicates this is a supplemental opportunity specifically for New York, Washington, and Guam, and it anticipates a total of three awards, aligning with those three named jurisdictions.

In terms of funding size, the listed award ceiling is $2,639,151. Since the notice expects three awards, that ceiling likely represents the maximum available under the opportunity (or the maximum for a single award depending on how OJJDP structured the supplemental amounts). The eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the additional eligibility text in the full materials for clarification; in practice, for a Title II formula supplemental tied to specific jurisdictions, eligibility is often limited to the designated state agency or territorial agency authorized to receive and administer the state or territory's juvenile justice formula allocation (for example, the state administering agency or the entity designated for the Title II program). Because the public description repeatedly directs applicants to the OJP Invitation Letter for program-specific details, the invitation letter would be the controlling document for exactly who can apply, what amounts are set aside for each jurisdiction, what budget rules apply, and what deliverables and reporting requirements must be met.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as targeted, supplemental Title II Formula Grants support for three specified jurisdictions, administered by OJJDP under the JJDPA. The purpose, requirements, and application instructions are not spelled out in the brief synopsis and instead are provided through the OJP invitation letter issued to the intended applicants.
