OJJDP FY 09 Recovery Act Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program Grants | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The OJJDP FY 09 Recovery Act Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program Grants opportunity was a U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs solicitation administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and authorized in part by the Protect Our Children Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-401), the program focused on maintaining and expanding the existing national network of state and regional ICAC task forces that investigate and disrupt technology-facilitated child exploitation. In practice, the grant was designed to strengthen coordinated, multi-jurisdictional responses by helping task forces and their partner agencies improve investigative capacity, increase staffing, and enhance operational readiness to prevent, interdict, and investigate Internet crimes against children.

The program emphasized collaboration among law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies operating as a connected national task force network. Funding was intended to support multiagency approaches that could span city, county, and state lines, recognizing that online child exploitation cases often involve victims, offenders, and digital evidence located in different jurisdictions. The solicitation described support that could help agencies acquire or enhance the knowledge, personnel, and equipment needed for these investigations, including the specialized capabilities typically required in ICAC work, such as digital forensics and coordinated case support with prosecutors.

Because it was issued under the Recovery Act, the opportunity also highlighted job preservation and job creation goals. The announcement specifically noted that awards would further Recovery Act purposes by directing funds to states and localities for salaries and employment-related costs tied to enforcement and prosecution activities. The types of positions referenced included law enforcement officers, prosecutors, forensic analysts, and other related professionals whose work supports child exploitation investigations and prosecutions.

Administratively, this funding opportunity was released under Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009-2099, categorized as "Other," with awards made as cooperative agreements (not standard grants), indicating more substantial federal involvement or oversight in implementation. The activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA number provided was 16.800 (Recovery Act Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program). A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, meaning recipients were expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules outlined in the full announcement.

Eligibility was narrow and limited to current participants in the ICAC program: only state and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies already receiving ICAC funding from OJJDP were eligible to apply. The announcement therefore functioned primarily as a Recovery Act supplemental or expansion opportunity for existing ICAC task forces rather than a mechanism to create new task forces from scratch or bring in first-time applicants.

The solicitation was posted on February 27, 2009, with applications submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The current closing date listed in the notice was April 8, 2009. Award ceiling and floor were shown as 0 in the summary data, which usually indicates that specific award ranges were not provided in the metadata and would instead be clarified in the full announcement. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Christopher Holloway, ICAC Specialist, at (202) 305-9838.
