Description:
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking applications for funding under its fiscal year (FY) 2016 Studies Program on Trauma and Justice-Involved Youth. This program furthers the Department’s mission by supporting original research, design expansions to current research, and/or secondary analyses to investigate: (1) the developmental pathways of youth from violence exposure and trauma to justice involvement; (2) the implications of justice involvement on possible re-traumatization; and (3) the development of culturally appropriate, evidence-based, trauma-informed practices. OJJDP is particularly interested in proposals to investigate these topics in populations whose justice system involvement is often understudied, specifically youth who are Hispanic/Latino; American Indian/Alaska Native; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, questioning, and intersex (LGBTQI); and girls.
