This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Multistate Mentoring Programs. This opportunity supports the implementation and delivery of mentoring services to youth populations that are at risk or high risk for delinquency, victimization, and going into the juvenile justice system. Mentoring services can be one-onone, group, peer, or a combination of these types.  

Funding will support: 

• Mentoring services to youth who are 17 years old or younger at the time of admission to the program. Mentors must be an adult (age 18 or older), or in cases where peer mentoring models are being implemented, an older peer under adult supervision.  
• Mentoring services to youth who demonstrate need but have not participated in mentoring services due to limited or lack of mentoring programs in their community or a shortage of trained and screened mentors, new mentoring matches, as well as existing mentoring matches through program completion.  

For this NOFO, youth who are at risk or high risk of delinquency are defined as youth who are in or most likely to be in the juvenile justice system because they possess certain risk factors in key life domain areas (i.e., individual, family, school, community), are already in the juvenile justice system, and/or reside in environments that have high rates of parental incarceration, community violence, drug markets, and gang concentration. 

OJJDP supports the National Mentoring Resource Center (NMRC) to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to all OJJDP-funded grantees, including implementation of the National Quality Mentoring System. OJJDP expects funded mentoring organizations to work with the NMRC in identifying and receiving TTA. Lead grantee organizations are expected to monitor subgrantee implementation of the specific mentoring program model funded in the application to ensure subgrantee adherence to the model/curriculum and specifications. Lead grantee organizations may use a limited amount of funds to train subgrantee staff on administering the specific mentoring program model. 

This NOFO funds three separate categories for which organizations can apply based on their eligibility: 
Category 1: Mentoring Organizations (1 state) (C-OJJDP-2026-00007-PROD) The maximum amount of funding applicants can apply for is $1,000,000. Funding should be used to expand existing mentoring services to an additional state or an additional jurisdiction within the state (i.e., a new municipal area such as city, county, or region of the state) where mentoring services are already provided. The new mentoring site must implement the same mentoring program or established curriculum as the primary applicant. While funding can support existing matches, the majority of funding should be used for expansion efforts. 

Category 2: Mentoring Organizations (2 to 10 states) (C-OJJDP-2026-00008-PROD) The minimum amount of funding applicants can apply for is $1,000,000. Applicants who can demonstrate their program has the “broadest reach” across their affiliates may apply for up to $4,000,000 to support program activities. To demonstrate the “broadest reach,” applicants should address how the proposed existing mentoring approach will reach a broad population of youth. Factors that will be considered in making this determination include:  

• Number of states where the applicant organization can show a history of providing mentoring services through subawards and the number of states where the applicant organization proposes to provide mentoring services through subawards with awarded grant funds.  
• Number of program sites where the applicant organization can demonstrate a history of providing mentoring services through subawards and the number of program sites where the applicant organization proposes to provide mentoring services through subawards with awarded grant funds.  
• If applicable, a description of how the applicant organization intends to expand existing mentoring services to an additional state or jurisdiction within the state where they are already providing mentoring services. The new mentoring site must implement the same mentoring program (i.e., “program x”) or established curriculum as the primary applicant.  
• Number of youth served.  
• Number of mentors recruited.  

Category 3: Mentoring Organizations (11 to 44 states) (C-OJJDP-2026-00009-PROD) The minimum amount of funding applicants can apply for is $2,000,000. Applicants who can demonstrate their program has the “broadest reach” across their affiliates may apply for up to $4,000,000 to support program activities. See the description listed above for guidance on how to demonstrate “broadest reach.”

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJA FY 2026 Upholding the Rule of Law and Preventing Wrongful Convictions Program. This opportunity strengthens the capacity of wrongful conviction review (WCR) entities and their criminal justice and victims’ services partners to more effectively and efficiently identify, assess, and manage post-conviction claims of innocence. Additionally, it aims to enhance public safety by preventing future errors, identifying actual perpetrators of crimes, and delivering justice to victims. 

Projects under this NOFO will be led by a WCR entity that focuses on the review of postconviction claims of innocence. This project can support a collaborative partnership with a prosecutor’s office or conviction integrity units (CIUs). If applicants include this partnership, they should document how it will coordinate relevant information-sharing of post-conviction claims of innocence. It must include a description of policies and procedures that are in place to avoid conflicts of interest and protect defendants’ rights, including plans for obtaining a waiver of attorney-client privilege and informed consent.

Executive Summary
The National Institute of Corrections (NIC) acknowledges the pressing challenges facing behavioral health care within correctional settings nationwide. Correctional facilities increasingly contend with complex mental health and substance use issues among incarcerated individuals, yet existing behavioral health services are consistently limited by service gaps, inconsistent institutional policies, and insufficient staff training, as revealed through research and dialogue with NIC’s Mental Health Network. These shortcomings jeopardize the rehabilitation and well- being of those in custody, while also causing elevated staff stress, burnout, and organizational instability. 

Through this cooperative agreement, NIC will launch a comprehensive initiative to address these systemic concerns. The project will encompass an in-depth gap analysis of behavioral health services, a rigorous review of institutional policies to ensure alignment with national standards, and robust stakeholder engagement to inform program development. Input from corrections professionals and behavioral health experts will play a pivotal role in shaping project strategies and solutions.

A primary outcome of these efforts will be the creation of a dynamic behavioral health training e-course designed for correctional staff. This curriculum will draw on evidence-based best practices—including trauma-informed care, cognitive-behavioral techniques, medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, and crisis intervention strategies. By equipping staff with practical, accessible tools rooted in the realities of correctional work, the initiative will enhance staff skills, foster professional development and wellness, and ultimately contribute to a safer and more stable correctional environment.
