OJJDP FY 09 VOCA Children s Advocacy Centers Subgrant Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The OJJDP FY 09 VOCA Children's Advocacy Centers Subgrant Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The purpose of the program is to fund an organization to manage and administer a national grant awards effort that, in turn, supports local Children's Advocacy Center (CAC) programs through subgrants. In other words, the primary award recipient is expected to operate a nationwide subgranting program that channels resources to community-based CACs, rather than simply running a single local service site.

At the core of this opportunity is the Children's Advocacy Center model, which is designed to improve how communities respond to allegations of child abuse by coordinating services across multiple agencies. CACs typically bring together multidisciplinary teams that can include law enforcement, child protective services, prosecutors, medical professionals, mental health providers, and victim advocates, along with other partners involved in child welfare and public safety. The intent is to reduce the burden on child victims by streamlining investigations and services, limiting the number of times a child must recount traumatic events, improving information sharing among agencies, and strengthening both victim support and case outcomes.

This program is authorized under the Victims of Child Abuse Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. Section 13002 and related provisions, as amended. That statutory authority underscores the federal focus on improving the investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases while ensuring child victims receive coordinated, trauma-informed support through structured, collaborative local responses.

The opportunity was posted on April 24, 2009, with an application closing date of June 8, 2009 (the same date is listed as both the original and current closing date). Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. For technical submission issues, applicants were directed to the GMS Support Hotline at 1-888-549-9901, option 3, available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The funding opportunity was later archived on November 7, 2011.

The award instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more active federal role in oversight and collaboration compared to a standard grant. The program falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.

The listed award ceiling is $12,000,000, and the award floor is $0, signaling that awards could be made up to that maximum amount and that no minimum award amount was specified in the summary. Eligible applicants span a wide range of entity types, including state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This broad eligibility suggests OJJDP was open to various national-level organizations or entities capable of running a comprehensive subgrant program and administering funds to local CACs across jurisdictions.
