Information for Grantees

The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) administers all the grants approved by the Juvenile Justice Advisory Group.  All grants are subject to New York State finance law and are monitored in an ongoing manner by DCJS staff.  Grantees can access forms that they may need in meeting their grant requirements at http://www.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/ofpa/forms.htm.

A Program Representative from the Office of Program Development and Funding at DCJS will be assigned to develop and monitor each grant.  Grantees should expect ongoing contact with their assigned Program Representative in the form of phone calls, review of quarterly performance reports, desk audits and site visits.

Quarterly performance reporting from grantees is critical to maintain ongoing communication between the grantee and the Juvenile Justice Advisory Group and to the development of outcome data that can be helpful in sustaining programs after the grant period concludes.  Grantees are expected to provide quarterly reports within 45 days of the close of each quarter.  The specific requirements of each grantee’s reports are established within the workplan in their contract.  That workplan can be found in the Grants Management System at https://grants.criminaljustice.state.ny.us/.
