Closed: OJJDP Community-Based Violence Prevention Demonstration Program, Due June 18

The program’s goal is to replicate programs, such as the Boston Gun Project, the Richmond Comprehensive Homicide Initiative, and the Chicago CeaseFire model, to reduce violence in targeted communities. Applicants must target their proposed intervention on the high-risk activities and behaviors of a small number of carefully selected members of the community who are likely to be involved in violent activities, specifically gun violence, in the immediate future. The intervention with this target population should include improved coordination of existing resources and activities that support multiple, complementary anti-violence strategies. OJJDP will award four grants of as much as $2.2 million each for a 3-year award period for the demonstration project and $1 million across for years four the evaluation.
