 Office of Juvenile Justice & Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) --
 Safe Start: Promising Approaches for Children Exposed to Violence
 Program
*******************************************************************
The Safe Start Program is designed to assist local communities in
implementing collaborative cross-agency strategies for reducing the
impact of children's exposure to violence, with particular emphasis
on young children (age 6 & younger) & their families.

The goal of the initiative is to collaboratively develop,
implement, & evaluate promising practices & policies that will
reduce the harmful effects of children's exposure to violence by
increasing the identification of developmentally appropriate
services for children & their families, improving access to these
services, & enhancing the quality & delivery of services.

OJJDP will select up to 14 applicants to receive up to $210,000 in
funding through cooperative agreements for up to a 4-year period to
implement the most promising approaches, based on current research,
for reducing the impacts of children's exposure to violence.  These
funds must be allocated proportionally to provide up to $200,000
for intervention activities related to practice & policy strategies
& up to $10,000 for data collection activities.

Interested applicants may download the Program Announcement online
