Applicants must select only one of the priority areas per grant application. However, entities are eligible to submit multiple grant applications if they wish to address more than one priority area in separate grant programs.

After-School Programs
- Programs that provide at-risk youth and youth in the juvenile justice systems with a range of age-appropriate activities, including tutoring, mentoring, and other educational and enrichment activities.
Compliance Monitoring
- Programs, research, staff support, or other activities primarily to enhance or maintain a state’s ability to adequately monitor jails, detention facilities, and other facilities to assure compliance with the Deinstitutionalization of Status Offenders (DSO), separation, and jail removal requirement of the JJDP Act.
Delinquency Prevention
- Comprehensive juvenile justice and delinquency prevention programs that meet the needs of youth through collaboration of the many local systems before which a youth may appear, including schools, courts, law enforcement agencies, child protection agencies, mental health agencies, welfare services, health care agencies and private nonprofit agencies offering youth services.
Indigent Defense
- Projects designed to develop and implement programs to protect the rights of youth affected by the juvenile justice system.
Juvenile Justice System Improvement
- Programs, research, and other initiatives to examine issues or improve practices, policies, or procedures on a system-wide basis (e.g., examining problems affecting decisions from arrest to disposition and detention to corrections).
Mental Health Services for Youth in Custody
- Programs providing mental health services for youth in custody in need of services, including, but not limited to, assessment, development of individualized treatment plans, and discharge plans. These programs must have the goal of identifying and intervening for the benefit of youth who are at risk of developing emotional/behavioral problems because of mental stress.
Mentoring, Counseling, and Training Programs
- Programs to develop and sustain a consistent, prosocial relationship between a responsible adult (a mentor) and an at-risk youth, a youth who has offended, or a youth who has contact with a parent or legal guardian who is/was incarcerated (a mentee). These programs may support academic tutoring, vocational and technical training, and drug and violence prevention counseling.
Racial and Ethnic Disparities
- Programs, research, or other initiatives primarily aimed at addressing the disproportionate number of youth members of minority groups who come into contact with the juvenile justice system.
