ACTION: Notice of solicitation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention 
(OJJDP) is requesting applications for the Targeted Community Action 
Planning (TCAP) Technical Assistance Program, which will support the 
delinquency prevention efforts of States, communities, and Federally 
recognized Indian Tribes and Alaska Native groups. OJJDP will select 
one organization to provide intensive training and technical assistance 
to support at least 15 selected jurisdictions to help them develop and 
deliver a targeted response to their most pressing juvenile justice 
issues. The TCAP effort further advances OJJDP's mission to provide 
national leadership, coordination, and resources to develop, implement, 
and support effective methods to prevent juvenile delinquency and 
respond appropriately to juvenile victimization. This mission is 
accomplished through prevention programs and a juvenile justice system 
that protects public safety, holds juvenile offenders accountable, and 
provides treatment and rehabilitative services based on the needs of 
individuals.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Purpose

    The purpose of this program is to improve delinquency prevention 
efforts and the juvenile justice system by providing intensive 
technical assistance to jurisdictions that is community-based, results 
oriented, and the product of best practices and promising programs 
nationwide.

Background

    Since 1993, OJJDP has been engaged in the development of a 
comprehensive, community-based planning initiative, the Comprehensive 
Strategy. In 1996, in partnership with Developmental Research and 
Programs, Inc. (DRP), and the National Council on Crime and Delinquency 
(NCCD), OJJDP began intensive Comprehensive Strategy training and 
technical assistance in three pilot sites: San Diego County, CA; Lee 
County, FL; and Duval County, FL. OJJDP continued to expand the 
Comprehensive Strategy initiative in 1997 by selecting five States 
(Florida, Iowa, Maryland, Rhode Island, and Texas) to receive the 
intensive training and technical assistance. In 1998, OJJDP selected 
three additional States (Ohio, Oregon, and Wisconsin). In 2000, OJJDP 
expanded the Comprehensive Strategy by providing additional training 
and technical assistance to Hawaii, Kentucky, New Jersey, and Oklahoma. 
The Comprehensive Strategy training and technical assistance initiative 
strove to mobilize communities to create a multidisciplinary continuum 
of care that would provide timely, effective, and appropriate responses 
to their prevention, intervention, and graduated sanctions needs.
    Community and agency leaders are an essential component of any 
effort made to effect social change. Leaders are needed not only to 
champion the planning effort, but also to leverage the required 
resources. Because the Comprehensive Strategy planning process required 
a significant time commitment from participants and a considerable 
planning phase (typically 9-12 months) before a community could move to 
action, maintaining the initial momentum was difficult. Constant 
changes in the structure of the planning team and in the makeup of the 
community's key leaders frustrated the strategy's objectives. For these 
reasons, OJJDP re-evaluated the Comprehensive Strategy planning 
process.
    Based on information gathered during the national evaluation of the 
Comprehensive Strategy, OJJDP revised the existing community planning 
initiative by shortening the planning process and focusing on the 
implementation of an action plan. OJJDP's Targeted Community Action 
Planning (TCAP) effort is designed to help communities assess their 
juvenile justice and delinquency prevention needs and identify 
effective interventions. Using the best available program models and 
strategies, TCAP will provide intensive technical assistance to help 
communities develop a targeted response to the juvenile justice issues 
identified by community leaders as the most critical.

Planning Process

    The following results-oriented planning process has been developed 
to help communities plan for action:

Diagnostic Assessment

    The diagnostic assessment provides OJJDP and its consultants with 
basic information about the site before they enter a community. 
Information gathered during this phase includes readily available crime 
and delinquency data; risk factor data; information on past and current 
Federal, State, and local initiatives (e.g., Weed and Seed, America's 
Promise, Title V); existing community plans; State juvenile justice 
priorities (i.e., legislative mandates); and information on weaknesses 
and/or gaps in a community's comprehensive continuum of services for 
youth, from neonatal care to intensive juvenile aftercare services. 
During this phase, it is important to identify the key stakeholders and 
community leaders who will be included in the planning process.

Key Leader Interviews

    Interviews of key community leaders are crucial to developing 
relationships and building capacity prior to the summit of key 
community leaders (see below). Interviews allow communities to gather 
information, build support, and review and analyze available services, 
resources, funding, and existing statutes and policies. The interview 
process is necessary to develop a thorough and accurate understanding 
of a community's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, obstacles, and 
demographics, particularly as these factors relate to the continuum of 
services available to children and families in the community.

[[Page 50335]]

Key Leader Summit

    The summit of key leaders offers an opportunity for a community's 
key stakeholders and policymakers to share their concerns. The summit 
will establish a community vision and allow participants to identify 
critical issues in the community (e.g., juvenile justice system needs, 
problem behaviors, crime, risk factors, or lack of available 
resources). Participants will also discuss obstacles that prevent them 
from attaining their agency's mission. The goal of the summit is for 
key leaders to prioritize their community's most pressing juvenile 
justice needs.

Development of the Targeted Response

    Developing a targeted response brings the community together to 
work toward achieving the community vision that was established during 
the key leader summit. During this phase, data on specific risk 
factors, information on resource assessment, and statistics on problem 
behaviors and crime are gathered to legitimize the areas of concern 
identified during the summit of key leaders. A community's targeted 
response should use strategies and concepts of best practices and 
promising programs nationwide, and it should include identified goals, 
clear roles and responsibilities, measurable objectives, and evaluation 
components. In addition, the targeted response should integrate the 
comprehensive strategic planning framework into the ongoing operations 
of the continuum of services for youth and their families.

Goals

    This program has two primary goals:
     To help interested States, communities, and American 
Indian Tribes and Alaska Native groups assess their juvenile justice 
issues and develop targeted responses that reduce juvenile delinquency 
and victimization and improve the juvenile justice system.
     To enhance the awareness of promising approaches and 
successful strategies to reduce juvenile delinquency and improve the 
juvenile justice system.

Objectives

    To accomplish these goals, the TCAP effort will do the following:
     Conduct diagnostic assessments of selected communities. 
Assessments will include readily available crime and delinquency data; 
risk factor data; information on past and current Federal, State, and 
local initiatives (e.g. Weed and Seed, America's Promise, Title V); 
existing community plans; State juvenile justice priorities (e.g., 
legislative mandates); and information on weaknesses and/or gaps in a 
community's comprehensive continuum of services for youth from neonatal 
care to intensive juvenile aftercare services.
     Conduct key leader interviews to gather additional 
information and support that will lead to community action. Interviews 
will continue the review and analysis process: available services, 
resources, and funding will be considered, as will the existing 
statutes and policies required to develop a thorough and accurate 
understanding of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, obstacles, 
and demographics of the entire continuum of services available to 
children and their families in the community.
     Facilitate key leader summits to provide all key 
stakeholders and policymakers with an opportunity to identify their 
most pressing juvenile delinquency concerns.
     Develop targeted responses that are based on the best 
possible program models (e.g.,the Prenatal and Infancy Home Visitation 
by Nurses Program). TCAP must promote the concepts and strategies of 
promising programs and best practices in the areas of prevention, 
intervention, and graduated sanctions.
     Further develop a planning process that allows communities 
to access and use resources and tools without lengthy onsite training 
and technical assistance.
     Identify and work with existing local infrastructure 
(e.g., local colleges or universities) that will provide planning 
support to the community throughout the extended planning process.
     Develop and train people in more efficient ways to 
retrieve, analyze, and display usable data for collaborative 
decisionmaking and interagency information management. Provide 
information regarding national indicator data, comparison data, and 
additional options for mapping local conditions and resources.
     Provide technical assistance on how to develop action 
plans for target audiences within the community. These plans may 
include service and mental health providers, educators, law enforcement 
officers, court personnel, detention and corrections representatives, 
parks and recreation staff, and policymakers.
     Apply geomapping instruments to assist with data 
collection and resource mapping for target areas, neighborhoods, or 
specific geographic/service areas and to promote research, evaluation, 
development, and dissemination of geographic information systems 
technology and the spatial analysis of crime.
     Provide training with customized and indepth program 
information relevant to the community's identified gaps in service, 
areas of need, and intended program enhancements (e.g., gender-specific 
program development, plans to address the disproportionate level of 
minorities in confinement, and mental health needs).
     Provide an overview of selected Blueprints for Violence 
Prevention and other identified promising programs that present 
practical descriptions of effective programs. This overview is intended 
to help States, communities, and individual agencies to (1) determine 
the appropriateness of this intervention for their State or community, 
(2) provide a realistic cost estimate for this intervention, (3) 
provide an assessment of the organizational capacity needed to ensure 
successful program startup and operation over time, and (4) indicate 
the potential barriers and obstacles that might be encountered when 
attempting to implement this type of intervention.
    Telephone technical assistance and other support efforts will be 
coordinated with representative from OJJDP's State and Tribal 
Assistance Division (STAD). Technical assistance will be provided in 
the areas of prevention, intervention, and graduated sanctions and will 
guide the States and sites in implementing the strategic plans. All 
technical assistance requests will be coordinated with STAD. The 
technical assistance provider may be directed to perform other tasks, 
including gathering State/site specific data, identifying resources, 
and assisting in the revision of strategic plans.

Program Strategy

    OJJDP will competitively select one organization to provide 
intensive TCAP technical assistance for the first 12-month budget 
period of the 3-year project period. Through a cooperative agreement, 
the organization will support 10-15 selected jurisdictions interested 
in reallocating resources and developing a targeted community response 
to their most pressing juvenile justice issues. Communities eligible 
for TCAP assistance will have the following characteristics:
     An identified high rate of juvenile crime and delinquency.
     A population of no more than 250,000. In a city larger 
than 250,000, the community population may be defined as that of a 
specific quadrant or zip code area.
     An existing local decisionmaking component or community 
champion who can convene key community leaders.

    Applicants must clearly demonstrate (1) experience in the delivery 
and management of national, multifaceted training and technical 
assistance programs and (2) expertise in the areas of juvenile 
delinquency prevention, intervention, immediate sanctions, corrections, 
and, specifically, reentry. Applicants must also display an 
understanding of the challenges that exist in the field of juvenile 
delinquency prevention programming and juvenile justice system 
improvement. Applicants are encouraged to be creative in their approach 
to designing and delivering technical assistance and training; however, 
they should also exhibit an understanding of the resources and 
obstacles involved in implementing a juvenile justice action planning 
effort. Applications must include detailed plans for implementing 
training and technical assistance, including measurable goals and 
objectives. Applicants should indicate how they will use electronic 
mediums to provide training and technical assistance via 
teleconferencing and other Internet-based modalities.

Performance Measurement

    With the enactment of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency 
Prevention Act in 1974, Congress established a Formula Grant Program 
within OJJDP. The program is managed by OJJDP's State and Tribal 
Assistance Division (STAD) and provides grant funds and technical 
assistance to participating States and territories to help them 
implement the provisions of the Act. The provisions include 
deinstitutionalizing status offenders, separating juveniles and adult 
offenders, removing juveniles from adult jails and lockups, monitoring 
compliance with the Act, and implementing programs that support 
advanced techniques in juvenile justice and delinquency prevention 
(Section 223[a][10]).
    To enhance States' ability to meet the requirements of the Act, 
OJJDP has developed the TCAP effort to provide support for local 
community planning and program implementation.
    To ensure compliance with the Government Performance and Results 
Act (GPRA), Pubic Law 103-62, this solicitation notifies applicants 
that they are required to collect and report on data that measure the 
results of the program implemented by the grant. To ensure 
accountability of this data, for which OJJDP is responsible, the 
following performance measures are provided.
    In years one and two, the TCAP Provider will be required to collect 
the following performance-related data:
     The number of jurisdictions provided with training.
     The number of jurisdictions provided with technical 
support.
     The number of targeted responses (e.g., comprehensive 
strategic planning, best practices, measurable objectives) to pressing 
juvenile justice issues, including summary written documentation 
regarding the jurisdictions.
    Additionally, a peer review panel will be used at the beginning of 
year two to assess the implementation of the local plans (or targeted 
responses) developed in year one. Local impact evaluation methodology 
must be established at this stage in order for the sites to receive 
further assistance.
    At the end of year 2, and prior to drawing down third year funds, 
the TCAP grantee will submit to a peer review panel approved by OJJDP 
one action plan from each TCAP community. The peer review panel will 
assess the community's progress in implementing the local plan and 
evaluation and will recommend the level of assistance that should be 
provided in the third and final year.
    In year three, the TCAP Provider will continue to render onsite 
assistance, as approved by OJJDP, and will provide OJJDP with a written 
report describing the progress made by each community in implementing 
its action plan. Progress will be measured according to milestones 
articulated in the individual plans.
    OJJDP will coordinate the program evaluations in local 
jurisdictions with the selected TCAP Provider. Quarterly progress 
reports will be required from the TCAP Provider for the duration of the 
project. The quarterly reports, which will include impact data that 
have been identified during the peer review process, will measure each 
local jurisdiction's progress toward implementing its targeted 
responses to pressing juvenile justice issues. Data collected from the 
TCAP Provider will provide crucial baseline data necessary for a 
national evaluation, contingent on funding, of the TCAP effort.
