Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 09 VOCA Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2009 2207) is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to support a single, national-level training and technical assistance effort focused on improving how child abuse cases are investigated and prosecuted in the criminal justice system. The core purpose is to strengthen the capacity and effectiveness of attorneys and other professionals who play a role in prosecuting child abuse, with the broader goal of improving outcomes for child victims and strengthening coordinated responses to these crimes.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means OJJDP expects to have an active role in guiding or collaborating on key aspects of the project, such as priorities, deliverables, and implementation. The opportunity falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds, making it more accessible to applicants that may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute.
Funding under this solicitation has an award ceiling of $1,700,000, with no stated award floor. The solicitation was originally posted on April 24, 2009, and the application closing date was June 8, 2009. While the opportunity is archived (archive date November 6, 2011), the details describe a program intended to operate at a national scale, providing training and hands-on technical assistance to build specialized knowledge and skills among prosecutors and related practitioners handling child abuse cases.
Eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized tribal governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that nonprofit category). It also allows for-profit organizations other than small businesses to apply. This range suggests OJJDP was open to proposals from governmental entities, universities, and established training or technical assistance providers with expertise in child protection and prosecution, as long as they could credibly operate or coordinate a national program.
Applications were required to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS) at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov/. The solicitation also provided submission support through the GMS Support Hotline at 1-888-549-9901 (option 3), with operating hours Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time. For questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Lou Ann Holland, Program Manager in the Child Protection Division, reachable at 202-305-2742 (email address referenced but not provided in the text).
The program is authorized under the Victims of Child Abuse (VOCA) Act, specifically 42 U.S.C. Section 13003. That statutory basis signals that the training and technical assistance activities are meant to directly support system improvements that benefit child victims, particularly by promoting more effective prosecution practices and more informed, coordinated professional responses in child abuse cases.
