Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 Research on the Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children grant was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), designed to strengthen the national understanding of commercial sexual exploitation of children (CSEC) in the United States. CSEC is defined in the announcement as a broad set of sexually based crimes committed against minors under 18 where the abuse is driven primarily or entirely by financial or other economic gain. The opportunity notes that CSEC can include sex trafficking for sexual purposes, prostitution, sex tourism, the mail order bride trade and early marriage, child pornography, stripping, and sexual performances. The overall goal of the program was to generate credible research evidence about the size and characteristics of the problem and how systems respond, rather than to directly fund services or enforcement operations.
The research focus was organized around four main questions tied to the 2008 calendar year. First, applicants were asked to study how many youth under 18 were victims of commercial sexual exploitation in the United States in 2008, which points to an emphasis on estimating prevalence or victim counts at a national scale. Second, the program sought to determine how many of those victims were known to law enforcement, highlighting the gap between victimization and official identification. Third, in a sample of jurisdictions, the research was expected to document prosecution outcomes for CSEC-related crimes, looking at what happened in cases involving victimized youth as well as outcomes for perpetrators, which implies attention to charging decisions, case processing, convictions, dismissals, sentencing patterns, and other justice system results. Fourth, in the same sample of jurisdictions, the research needed to compare services received by victims who were not known to law enforcement versus those who were known to law enforcement, with the explicit goal of understanding whether unidentified or unofficial victims received more, fewer, or different types of assistance. Taken together, the questions indicate OJJDP was trying to map both the hidden nature of CSEC victimization and the practical consequences of system contact, from case outcomes to service access.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted May 6, 2009 and closed June 15, 2009, and it was later archived on November 7, 2011. Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) at grants.ojp.usdoj.gov, with a dedicated support hotline available during weekday hours. The program was listed under CFDA 16.543, Missing Childrens Assistance, and it specified that there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award.
Funding was offered as a grant, with an award ceiling of $1,275,000 and no stated award floor. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). The legal authorization cited in the announcement was 42 U.S.C. 5775 and 5776. For content or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed program contact was Christopher Holloway, Program Manager at OJJDP, reachable by phone at 202-305-9838.
