Opportunity Summary:
The Electronic and Cyber Crime Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) funding opportunity focused on strengthening the nations ability to prevent, investigate, and respond to electronic and cyber crime. Structured as a cooperative agreement, the program is designed to support communities by delivering training, technical assistance, and related support services that build practical capacity across law enforcement and the broader justice system. A central theme of the opportunity is coordination: BJA intends for funded activities to leverage cooperative efforts among established electronic and cyber crime training and technical assistance providers so that jurisdictions can benefit from consistent, high quality resources rather than duplicative or isolated efforts.
Funding under this solicitation is intended for the expansion or enhancement of existing training and technical assistance programs that already operate at a national scope. In other words, applicants are expected to have current, functioning programs that deliver electronic crime, cyber crime, and intelligence related training and technical assistance to law enforcement, prosecutors, and other justice system partners, and to use the award to improve or broaden what they already provide. The solicitation explicitly notes that supported activities may include programs that provide investigative support to local law enforcement agencies, which signals an emphasis on hands on, operationally relevant assistance in addition to classroom style or virtual training.
Eligibility is broad in terms of organizational type but narrow in terms of functional readiness and current programming. Eligible applicants include public entities across all levels of government (city or township, county, state, special districts), federally recognized tribal governments and tribal jurisdictions, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, and a wide range of private entities such as nonprofits (including both 501(c)(3) and non 501(c)(3) organizations), institutions of higher education (public, state controlled, and private), and for profit organizations (including small businesses and other for profit entities). However, applicants must currently provide national programs in the electronic and cyber crime training and technical assistance space; the funding is not meant for organizations starting from scratch or building entirely new program lines.
The opportunity also includes several important restrictions that shape how funds may be used. It does not support cyber crime task forces, and it does not support the development of new programs, reinforcing that the purpose is to scale, strengthen, and refine existing national level training and technical assistance capabilities rather than create new operational units or launch new initiatives without an established track record. For profit organizations may apply, but they must agree to waive any profit or fees for services, reflecting BJA’s intent that award funds be applied to direct public benefit rather than commercial gain. Joint applications are allowed, but they must be submitted through a single designated applicant agency, which would serve as the lead for the cooperative agreement.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2008 1885, associated with CFDA 16.752 (Economic, High Tech and Cyber Crime Prevention). It was posted May 28, 2008, with an original closing date of June 19, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of June 23, 2008, and an archive date of July 19, 2008. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically indicates that specific award amounts were not stated in the summary record and would need to be confirmed in the full announcement. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing barriers for applicants that may not have access to nonfederal match resources.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Jonathan Fletcher at the GMS Helpdesk, phone 202 305 8115, for technical assistance.
