Opportunity Summary:
The FY 11 Intellectual Property Crime Enforcement Program (Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2011 2869) was a discretionary grant program run by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) under the U.S. Department of Justice. Its main purpose was to strengthen how state, local, and tribal criminal justice systems respond to intellectual property (IP) crimes. In practical terms, the program aimed to boost real-world enforcement capacity around investigations and prosecutions involving IP violations, while also supporting prevention efforts, specialized training, and technical assistance. The overall emphasis was on helping criminal justice agencies better handle the unique challenges of IP crime, including the technical and evidentiary issues that often come with these cases.
The program was positioned as national support that could improve local capability, rather than a purely federal enforcement initiative. It was generally informed by section 401 of Public Law 110 403, which authorizes the Department of Justice to provide funding to support state and local intellectual property crime enforcement efforts. The funding activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, and it was associated with CFDA number 16.752 (Economic, High-Tech and Cyber Crime Prevention), reflecting how IP crime enforcement frequently overlaps with broader cybercrime and high-tech investigations.
Eligible applicants were tightly focused on operational criminal justice entities that directly work IP crime cases. Applicants were limited to state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, including municipal agencies and public education institutions, as well as prosecutors. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments were explicitly included as eligible. The eligibility language also covered multijurisdictional task forces, specifically those focused on enforcing IP laws and conducting forensic analysis of confiscated evidence tied to IP crimes. In addition, the opportunity listing included categories such as state governments, special district governments, and public and state controlled institutions of higher education, but the controlling eligibility statement emphasized that the applicants needed to be law enforcement agencies (including certain public education institutions in that role), prosecutors, or relevant task forces.
The award structure indicated an expected 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and an award floor of $0. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant recipients were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The funding instrument type was a grant, consistent with BJA programs that support capacity building, specialized enforcement initiatives, and training/technical assistance activities.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted and created on December 8, 2010, with an original and current closing date of February 10, 2011. The archive date was March 12, 2011, meaning the solicitation was no longer active after that period. Applicants needing help with electronic submission were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 800-518-4726, which served as the technical assistance contact pathway for application submission issues.
Overall, this solicitation was designed to help front-line justice partners develop or enhance IP crime enforcement efforts, particularly where cases require specialized knowledge, interagency coordination, and forensic handling of seized materials. It supported a mix of enforcement and capacity-building activities, aiming to make local and tribal systems more effective at investigating, prosecuting, and preventing intellectual property crimes while improving training and technical capability where gaps existed.
