The Juvenile Justice Reform and Reinvestment Demonstration Program is a new initiative that is made possible through the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Partnership Fund for Program Integrity Innovation (the Partnership Fund). The demonstration program consists of discretionary, competitive grants for up to three State and/or local administering agencies to develop and implement an integrated set of evidence-based and cost-measurement tools for juvenile justice. The tools designed will enable State and/or local agencies to make more informed decisions about resources and services for justice-involved youth, both at the point of service and at the administrative level. In addition, one discretionary, competitive award will be made for an evaluation of the initiative. A discretionary award will also be made to support training and technical assistance for implementation of the initiative.

B - Project Grants (Discretionary)

Applicants for Demonstration grants are limited to local units of government, including state agencies (only if targeted to a local community), and public agencies. If the applicant is a local unit of government, it must be the local administering agency for juvenile justice. Municipal governments may submit applications as part of a larger application from the county or State within which they are located. Units of government may partner as co-applicants, when necessary, to achieve the goals of this solicitation; however, a lead agency must be identified. Only one application per State should be submitted, regardless of whether the lead applicant is a State or local agency. In addition, OJJDP will only consider applications from States determined to be in compliance with the four core requirements of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act for FY 2012 funding.

Eligible applicants are limited to states (including territories), units of local government (including federally recognized tribal governments, as determined by the Secretary of the Interior), nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education). For-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee.
