Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 14 National Training and Technical Assistance Intellectual Property Enforcement Program (IPEP) grant opportunity is a competitive, discretionary Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) solicitation intended to strengthen criminal justice responses to intellectual property (IP) crime, especially counterfeit goods and product piracy that threaten public health, public safety, and the economy. Rather than funding new enforcement projects in individual jurisdictions, this announcement focuses on selecting a single nationwide training and technical assistance (TTA) provider that can support existing BJA-funded IPEP law enforcement participants and help expand general IP theft awareness across the broader law enforcement community. The program is rooted in federal authority reflected in section 401 of Public Law 110-403, which supports Department of Justice funding for state and local IP theft enforcement efforts.
The core purpose of the award is to improve the capacity of state, local, and tribal criminal justice systems to investigate, prevent, and prosecute IP crimes by delivering a wide range of TTA services. The selected provider is expected to design and deliver trainings and educational sessions led by relevant subject matter experts, and to offer hands-on guidance either onsite or remotely. The work is meant to be practical and operational, helping jurisdictions address IP theft within their own boundaries and also across jurisdictional lines, including through multi-jurisdictional task forces that often need shared tactics, common investigative approaches, and coordinated case strategies.
A major emphasis of the provider role is coordination. The TTA provider must help align and connect state and local task force activities with key federal partners involved in IP enforcement, including the DOJ Criminal Division, U.S. Attorneys Offices, the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center, and other relevant federal agencies. In addition to supporting current IPEP grantees, the provider is also expected to deliver general IP theft awareness training to the law enforcement community more broadly, helping officers, investigators, and prosecutors better recognize IP crime indicators, understand the harms tied to counterfeit products, and navigate the complexities that often come with IP-related investigations.
The funding instrument is a grant under CFDA 16.752 (Economic, High-Tech, and Cyber Crime Prevention). The award ceiling is $750,000 and there is no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity was posted January 14, 2014, with an application deadline of March 17, 2014, and an archive date of April 16, 2014. Applicants were required to have experience delivering nationwide training and technical assistance, reflecting the national scope and coordination expectations of the project.
Eligibility is broad and includes national, regional, state, or local public and private entities. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3) nonprofits), for-profit organizations (with the condition that they agree to forgo any profit or management fee), faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education (public, private, and tribal), tribal jurisdictions (including federally recognized tribal governments), and units of local government (city, county, township), as well as state governments. Overall, the solicitation is designed to identify a capable national provider that can deliver consistent, high-quality, expert-driven training and technical support to enhance IP enforcement capacity and improve coordination across local, tribal, state, and federal partners.
