Effective Reduction of Racial and Ethnic Disparities

OJJDP's Demonstration Programs Continuation Grants program was established to provide grants and cooperative agreements to organizations that OJJDP has selected for funds in prior years. This program will be authorized by an Act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice.

The Center for Children's Law and Policy(CCLP) will use this funding to directly engage with selected local jurisdictions to reduce racial and ethnic disparities throughout the juvenile justice system by: (1) supporting the development of a local advisory board or committee to guide DMC reforms; (2) assisting with capacity building that includes data collection and analysis; (3) identifying and assisting with implementing interventions based on the data collection and analysis; (4) helping to monitor the effectiveness of the interventions: and (5) documenting any significant outcomes and lessons learned.
