Florida Department of Juvenile Justice Delinquency Prevention Grant

The Florida Department of Juvenile Justice announces that applications for FY 2004-05 delinquency prevention grant funding are now available on the Department's website at www.djj.state.fl.us - Prevention and Victim Services - Funding Opportunities.

The application is due February 9, 2004. The Department will sponsor a statewide video teleconference on January 8th. This presentation will review the goals of the Department as they relate to delinquency prevention grant funding and how to complete the grant application.

This also provides an opportunity for potential applicants to ask questions (and get answers). Participants are encouraged to contact their local Delinquency Prevention Specialist for the video teleconference location nearest them. A list of Specialists is presented both on line and in the application.
Current grant recipients eligible for renewal need to reapply for consideration. Current grant-funded programs that have received funding for three years or more are ineligible for renewal. Grant applications will be reviewed and scored by grant review committees of the Juvenile Justice County Councils and Circuit Boards.

The Department's website contains data and statistics that can help applicants under the Research and Statistics pages. For additional information, contact Tim Center at (850) 921-5277 or (850) 488-3302.
