Description: This solicitation will fund field-initiated research and evaluation studies to produce findings of practical use to communities, practitioners, administrators, and policymakers in the development of effective programs, policies, and strategies for tribal juvenile justice and delinquency prevention. This is a call for proposals for researchers to conduct participatory research within American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages with sensitivity to the cultural issues and historical trauma that tribal communities have experienced. This initiative seeks to further understand the experiences, strengths, and needs of tribal youth and how tribal families and communities can nurture positive youth development to reduce their risks for victimization and delinquency. This program is authorized by the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2012, Public Law 112-55.
