What is the program?
The focus of the Safe Start Promising Approaches program is to help communities implement collaborative cross-agency service delivery strategies to reduce the impact of children’s exposure to violence. Up to 14 sites will be selected to participate in the program, which will run for 4 years (from summer/fall 2005 through summer/fall 2009). The focus of the national evaluation is to assess which program strategies yield the best outcomes for children.

Under this solicitation for the Evaluation of Safe Start: Promising Approaches for Children Exposed to Violence, applicants are asked to submit an evaluation design to be implemented over 5 years, with a budget for up to $1,000,000 for the first 12 months of work (approximately September 1, 2005–August 31, 2006).

The goals of the evaluation are two-fold:

  • To develop an evidence base of promising practices and policies that effectively reduce the harmful effects of children’s exposure to violence and to identify practices that were not effective or had a negative effect
  • To disseminate results so that other communities may replicate the best practices identified by the evaluation

Award Information: This award will be funded as a cooperative agreement. As such, applicants should anticipate a collaborative working relationship with OJJDP staff on the evaluation. Under this solicitation, applicants are asked to submit an evaluation design to be implemented over 5 years and a budget for up to $1,000,000 for the first 12 months of work.

Note: All funding dates and funding levels are contingent on the availability and timely appropriation of funds each year. OJJDP estimates that the Evaluation of Safe Start: Promising Approaches for Children Exposed to Violence will be funded for up to $1,000,000 annually for 4 years. The first project year will run approximately from September 1, 2005 to August 31, 2006. Each subsequent January for 3 years (2006, 2007, and 2008), the evaluator will submit a new annual budget for up to $1,000,000 for the next project year (September–August). In January 2009, the evaluator will submit a final budget for the fifth year for up to $500,000 for remaining data collection, data analysis, and report writing tasks.
