Part A: Program Overview

Public Safety Canada is working to build a safe and resilient Canada through the National Crime Prevention Strategy (NCPS).  The Crime Prevention Action Fund (CPAF) under the NCPS, provides time-limited funding in the form of grants and contributions to support the implementation and evaluation of local, targeted and tailored crime prevention initiatives with an objective to develop and share the knowledge of what works.

We work closely with partners and stakeholders in the provinces and territories to develop and implement results-driven programs that target specific crime issues in regions and communities across Canada. We provide tools, knowledge and support to undertake crime prevention initiatives in communities large and small across Canada.

Part B: Call for Applications Priorities

The 2021 CPAF Call for Applications priorities are:

1. Multi-Sectoral Direct Intervention Project

Support new multi-sectoral community-driven direct intervention project for an identified priority youth population. Projects focusing on Black and Indigenous youth will be prioritized.

Multi-sectoral approaches refer to deliberate collaboration among various stakeholder groups (i.e. government, Indigenous organizations, service providers) and sectors (i.e. health, education, private sector) to jointly achieve a shared outcome. By engaging multiple sectors, partners can leverage knowledge, expertise, reach, and resources, benefiting from their combined and varied strengths as they work toward a shared goal to provide youth-centered services.

For additional information, please refer to the Multi-Sectoral Approaches for Crime Prevention Programs: What You Need to Know and Annex B.

2. Research on Multi-Sectoral Initiative

Support research project for the development and dissemination of knowledge products such as information, tools and resources on multi-sectoral community-driven crime prevention initiatives. Projects focusing on Black and Indigenous youth will be prioritized.

For additional information, please refer to the Multi-Sectoral Approaches for Crime Prevention Programs: What You Need to Know

3. Research on the Impacts of the Pandemic

Support research project for the development and dissemination of knowledge products such as information, tools and resources on the impacts of the pandemic on crime prevention issues (e.g. family violence, substance abuse, mental health, etc.). and/or service delivery.

Projects must fall under one of the above priorities to be eligible for this call for applications.

Part D: Application Assessment and Project Evaluation

Assessment Criteria

A criteria-based assessment process ensures that all applications are evaluated objectively and consistently, according to the CPAF Terms and Conditions and the availability of funding.

Applications will be assessed based on the following criteria:

• Alignment with the program’s objectives and the priorities of the call for applications;
• Demonstrated need for the project;
• Organizational ability and readiness to administer and deliver the project;
• Partnership creation and/or strengthening.
• Contributions to knowledge and resource development and dissemination

Assessment Process

The application assessment process will consist of:

1. Initial review by Program Advisors to verify that mandatory information has been provided, and basic eligibility criteria are met (see Part C: Application Requirements and Deadline);
2. Detailed review of the application to assess the nature and scope of the proposal, the applicants readiness to implement the project and the extent to which the project is innovative;
3. Consultation with provincial/territorial government partners and other federal government departments; and
4. Departmental committee review of eligible applications and funding recommendations.

Public Safety Canada aims to select applications that help bridge gaps in knowledge on how crime prevention programs can be adapted to respond to identified needs within vulnerable communities. Therefore, the basic score of each application will be one of many factors considered for the final selection.

Project Evaluation

Evaluation is a key activity in the implementation of CPAF. In addition to the regular performance monitoring and reporting required for all projects funded under a contribution program, Public Safety Canada supports robust and rigorous evaluation of selected projects and provides assistance to develop and implement evaluations that are appropriate to the type of project being undertaken. Project evaluation findings contribute to building the evidence and knowledge about effective crime prevention practices.

In order to be considered for an evaluation, applicants should demonstrate:

• Experience with  data collection and information management systems;
• Strong management practices;
• A clear articulation of the relationship between the proposed program activities and the anticipated outcomes; and
• Previous experience supporting and participating in an evaluation.

Communication of Results

All applicants will be contacted by Public Safety Canada with the results of the assessment.

Applications that have been selected for further development will be invited to work with PS Program Advisors to develop their project into funding agreements.

Annex B: Considerations for Submitting a Strong Multi-Sectoral Application

Multi-sectoral approach to crime prevention is the focus of the 2021 CPAF Call for Applications. Multi-sectoral refers to the deliberate collaboration among various stakeholder groups (i.e. government, Indigenous organizations, service providers) and sectors (i.e. health, education, private sector) to jointly achieve a shared outcome. By engaging multiple sectors, partners can leverage knowledge, expertise, reach, and resources, benefiting from their combined and varied strengths as they work toward a shared goal to provide youth-centered services.

Applicants should carefully read Multi-Sectoral Approaches for Crime Prevention Programs: What You Need to Know for a clear understanding of what is central to a successful multi-sectoral project.

The table below also provides a brief overview of what a strong multi-sectoral direct intervention application could incorporate:
