Opportunity Information: Apply for INL WHPCOSTARICA 17GR0023 03242017
This discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Improve Police work with youth to prevent violence and criminal activities" (Funding Opportunity Number INL WHPCOSTARICA 17GR0023 03242017), was released by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) on March 24, 2017. It falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity area (CFDA 19.704) and is designed to support projects that strengthen how police engage with young people in order to reduce violence and deter involvement in criminal activity. The overall focus is on prevention-oriented, youth-centered approaches that improve policing outcomes by building safer relationships, increasing trust, and developing practical interventions that keep at-risk youth away from violence and crime.
The award mechanism is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, meaning proposals are competitively reviewed and selected based on merit and alignment with the program goals. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, other than institutions of higher education). This structure indicates the program is intended for capable implementing partners such as universities, research centers, and community-based organizations that can design and run youth violence prevention initiatives in coordination with police and other local stakeholders.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $120,000 per award, with an anticipated total of 10 awards. The original application closing date was May 24, 2017, giving applicants roughly two months from the posting date to prepare and submit proposals. With a relatively modest ceiling and multiple expected awards, the opportunity appears tailored to pilot projects, targeted community programs, training and capacity-building efforts, or scalable models that can demonstrate measurable improvements in police-youth engagement and reductions in youth involvement in violent or criminal behavior.
In practical terms, projects responsive to this opportunity would typically emphasize strategies like community policing and youth outreach, structured mentorship or diversion pathways, training police to use trauma-informed and de-escalation practices when interacting with youth, partnerships with schools and youth-serving organizations, and data-informed approaches to identify risk factors and track outcomes. While the source text does not list required activities or performance indicators, the stated purpose strongly suggests the Department of State was seeking implementers that could show credible plans for prevention, collaboration with law enforcement, and clear monitoring of results related to violence prevention and reduced youth participation in criminal activities.Apply for INL WHPCOSTARICA 17GR0023 03242017
