OJJDP FY 2010 Evaluations of Girls’ Delinquency Programs
Over the past two decades, the number of girls entering the juvenile justice system has grown dramatically. This increase has raised a number of questions for OJJDP, including whether delinquency in girls has worsened or society's responses to girls' behavior have changed. A key question to answer is whether programs and strategies exist to prevent and reduce the delinquency and involvement of girls in the juvenile justice system. This solicitation is designed to fund grants to document and measure the effectiveness of delinquency prevention, intervention, and/or treatment programs in preventing and reducing girls’ risk behavior and offending.

Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex Guidance Project
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) is soliciting proposals from organizations, groups, or individuals to enter into a cooperative agreement for a 12-month project period. Work under this agreement will result in a policy guide for corrections practitioners charged with the care and custody of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) offenders. In addition to providing guidance in selected operational areas (see Goal 2 and Supplementary Information), the guide will provide: 1) a brief summary of the relevant case law, 2) a description of current terms and definitions relevant to the LGBTI population, including an acknowledgment that these terms evolve and change over time, and 3) a list of topics that should be addressed in initial and ongoing staff training. Informational resources, websites, and sources for additional support should accompany each of these three areas.

OJJDP 2010 Group Mentoring Research and Evaluation Program
OJJDP seeks to expand what is known about nontraditional mentoring programs as a prevention and intervention strategy for juvenile delinquency. While mentoring appears to be a promising intervention for disadvantaged youth, more evaluation work is required to identify the programs and program elements that best bring about desired changes in participating youth. OJJDP seeks to evaluate the effectiveness of select group mentoring programs supported by local Boys and Girls Clubs. The evaluator will work with the Boys and Girls Clubs of America (BGCA) to identify the project’s scope and will monitor the implementation of mentoring programs at several sites across the country. The evaluator will conduct process and outcome evaluations to measure the success of the implementation of these programs and their impact on intervention in and reduction of juvenile delinquency.
Amount: $2 million
