For purposes of this solicitation, “state” means any state of the United States, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. For the purposes of this solicitation, “girls involved in the juvenile justice system” refers to girls 17 and younger who have been arrested or referred for intake to a public agency (state, Tribal, city, or county) legally responsible for handling juvenile crime, delinquency, and girls in need of guidance, treatment, or rehabilitation due to problematic behavior (i.e., truancy, running away, ungovernable, etc.). Eligible applicants may continue to provide services to girls who remain in the juvenile justice system under a state’s extended juvenile court jurisdiction. In addition, in considering strategy development, applicants should not discriminate on the basis of gender identity. Specific plans to address this issue should be included in the program narrative. Applications submitted by nongovernmental organizations must have an established partnership via a memorandum of understanding (MOU) or analogous document with public juvenile justice agencies at the local or state level. This will ensure close collaboration around referrals for those girls involved in the juvenile justice system and who are eligible for services provided by the proposed project. A fully executed MOU or analogous document must be included as an attachment with the submitted application to be considered for funding. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.

Funds may not be used to provide training and technical assistance to program providers or other stakeholders. Category 2: Training and Technical Assistance. Funding under this category will support a training and technical assistance provider to support the Category 1 project sites as they implement strategies to support girls in the juvenile justice system.
