⚑ Eligibility is not stated in the notice; verify applicant classes in the full NOFO. · Program is operational/preparedness-focused rather than research-focused. · Funding is for emergency planning activities for juvenile justice residential facilities, not facility construction or equipment.
This is primarily a service-delivery and implementation grant for juvenile justice residential facilities, not a research program. It is adjacent to the team’s emergency/disaster resilience interests, but it does not match their core survey, warning, risk-perception, energy, weather, or education-policy research lines.

Description
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Emergency Planning for Juvenile Justice Residential Facilities program. This opportunity will support the development, improvement, and/or implementation of emergency planning activities for state, Tribal, county, and local juvenile justice residential facilities. Emergency planning activities should prepare facilities to prioritize the safety and well-being of youth and staff, keep families informed, continue operations, and reduce risk to the facility during and after an emergency. The goal of the program is to help facilities improve their ability to respond to and recover from these incidents. For the purposes of this program, emergency is defined as an incident—natural, technological, or nonnatural—that requires a response to protect life and property.
