Office of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention

Description

The project’s purpose is to provide for evidence-based or theory-based interventions to prevent and reduce the impact of children’s exposure to violence in their homes and communities. Exposure to violence includes child maltreatment, abuse, or neglect; witnessing domestic violence; and community and/or school violence. This project will address the needs of children and youth ages 0–17 who have been exposed to violence and their families. OJJDP seeks projects that embody a comprehensive and collaborative approach that uses the current knowledge base to address children’s exposure to violence.Applicants may apply under one of two categories: (1) “Strategic Enhancement,” which improves an ongoing evidence-based model, or (2) “Practice Innovation,” which implements astrategy/intervention based on sound theory and evaluative literature, which has yet to be evaluated rigorously. Successful applicants must participate in a rigorous evaluation as part of this project.
