Restricted: NO RESTRICTIONS CFDA#: 16.731 OBJECTIVES: The goal of this program, under the field-research and evaluation program, is to foster original, rigorous scientific research that uses innovative research methods to study juvenile delinquency and juvenile justice in tribal and Alaskan Native communities. This program seeks empirical research on delinquent and criminal behavior both by and against tribal youth, interventions with youthful offenders, tribal juvenile justice system policies and practices, and alcohol and drug use by tribal youth. The objectives are to: conceptualize and investigate research questions dealing specifically with tribal or Alaskan Native Juvenile justice and delinquency prevention; develop methodological approaches that are culturally sensitive, relevant, and appropriate; expand and validate hypotheses on juvenile delinquency as they relate to tribal and/or Alaskan youth; and develop knowledge that will inform new hypotheses, techniques, approaches, or methods to improve juvenile justice and delinquency prevention efforts both within and outside tribal and Alaskan Native territories. RESTRICTIONS: Eligible applicants are public and private agencies, organizations, institutions, tribal and Alaskan Native communities, and individuals, or any combination of the above. Private, for-profit organizations must agree to waive any profit or fees. The sponsor encourages collaborative relationships among researchers, practitioners, and tribal entities. Applicants must demonstrate that they have experience or ability related to the type of research or evaluation that they are proposing to conduct. Individual grant amounts, which will be subject to negotiation, will not exceed $200,000 per project. Funds up to $400,000 are available for research and evaluation related to program. The duration of the project is two years. Applications and guidelines are available. An application kit can be obtained by calling the OJJCP's Juvenile Justice Clearinghouse at 800-638-8736.
