Notice of Funding Availability for Girls Study Group

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is soliciting applications from public or private agencies or organizations to assemble and convene a Girls Study Group. The purpose of the Girls Study Group is to develop a sound theoretical and empirical foundation to guide future development, testing, and dissemination of strategies to effectively prevent and reduce girls' involvement in delinquency and violence and reduce the negative consequences of such involvement. The Girls Study Group will provide state and local policymakers and practitioners with theoretically sound, culturally and developmentally appropriate, and empirically grounded strategies (encompassing program elements, principles, and policies) to prevent and reduce female delinquency and its consequences. One 2-year cooperative agreement will be awarded.
