Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 11 Electronic and Cyber Crime National Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), designed to strengthen how communities across the country prevent, investigate, and respond to electronic, cyber, and other high tech crimes. The program is national in scope and is meant to deliver practical training and hands on technical assistance to the professionals who are most likely to encounter these cases, including state, local, and tribal law enforcement personnel, intelligence analysts, prosecutors, fusion center staff, and other criminal justice entities. The focus is on building capability and consistency across jurisdictions, especially where resources and specialized expertise are limited, so agencies can better handle crimes that rely on computers, networks, and the Internet.
The solicitation highlights a broad range of threats that fall under electronic and cyber crime. Examples listed include financial and identity theft, online sales of illegal goods, cyberstalking, child grooming and child pornography offenses, account hijacking on social networking platforms, and hacking. In the notice, hacking is described as reconfiguring or reprogramming a system to operate in ways not approved by the owner, administrator, or designer. In practice, the types of skills this program is intended to spread nationwide typically include investigative approaches for online and network enabled offenses, digital evidence handling, legal and prosecutorial considerations, intelligence support, and coordinated responses that may involve multiple agencies or regions.
Funding for this program comes through the Edward Byrne Memorial Competitive Grant Program (the Byrne Competitive Program), supported by the Full Year Continuing Appropriations Act, 2011 (Public Law 112-10, Division B) and the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2010 (Public Law 111-117). The Byrne Competitive Program is generally aimed at improving the capacity of state and local justice systems while also supporting national efforts, like training and technical assistance initiatives, that can be strategically targeted to address local needs. This particular solicitation is one of those national support efforts, meaning it is structured to provide services to many jurisdictions rather than to build up any single localitys operational program.
Key grant details include the funding opportunity number BJA-2011-3026 and CFDA number 16.752 (Economic, High Tech and Cyber Crime Prevention). BJA anticipated making about three awards under this announcement. The award ceiling is listed as $12,500,000, with no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specific percentage of nonfederal funds to receive an award. The opportunity was posted May 3, 2011, with an application closing date of June 16, 2011, and an archive date of July 16, 2011.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit and for profit organizations, including tribal nonprofit and for profit organizations. A notable condition is that for profit applicants must forgo any profit or management fee, so the award cannot be used to generate profit for the recipient. Applicants must also be able to demonstrate experience delivering national level training and technical assistance to the target audiences listed in the solicitation, and they must have the operational capacity to reach remote locations and underserved communities across the United States. Joint applications are allowed, but one organization must serve as the primary applicant, which typically means it would take lead responsibility for management, reporting, and compliance.
The program also draws a clear boundary around what funds can and cannot support. Because the solicitation is specifically for national training and technical assistance, the resources cannot be used to fund the efforts of electronic, cyber, or high tech crime task forces operating within individual state, local, or tribal jurisdictions. Similarly, funds cannot be used to create or sustain new or existing local programs in those jurisdictions. In other words, the money is not intended to pay for operational enforcement activities or to stand up local units; it is intended to build knowledge, skills, and support capacity that can be delivered broadly and equitably across jurisdictions.
For submission support, the announcement points applicants to Grants.gov assistance channels. Technical help with submitting applications is available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 800-518-4726 or by email at support@grants.gov, with support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week except federal holidays. The full announcement was available through an additional information link referenced in the notice, which would typically include the detailed program requirements, allowable and unallowable costs, performance measures, and application components.
