Grant Description: The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is requesting applications for the Safe Start: Promising Approaches for Children Exposed to Violence project. This project will help local communities implement collaborative cross-agency strategies for effectively reducing the impact of children?s exposure to violence. For the purpose of this project, exposure to violence includes both direct victimization (e.g. child abuse, neglect, or maltreatment) and indirect victimization (e.g. witnessing domestic violence or community violence). Children?s exposure to other forms of violence?such as violence in the media, terrorism, and war?is beyond the scope of this project. Applicants should propose strategies that are grounded in current research and knowledge of best practices in the field of exposure to violence. Grantees under this project will be required to collect and submit data on participants and outcomes as described in the solicitation, as well as to participate in a national evaluation of the initiative. OJJDP will select up to 14 applicants to receive up to $210,000 in funding through cooperative agreements for up to a 4-year period.
