Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 16 Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force National Training Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its purpose is to identify and support qualified training providers that can deliver specialized training and related support services for the nationwide ICAC Task Force Program, a coordinated network of state and regional task forces made up of law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies working together to prevent, disrupt, and investigate technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation and other Internet crimes against children. The overall focus is practical capacity building: improving the day-to-day effectiveness of investigators, prosecutors, and other professionals who handle these cases, so they are better equipped to pursue investigations and prosecutions involving online exploitation.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means OJJDP expects substantial involvement in shaping or overseeing key aspects of the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.543. The announcement indicates OJJDP intends to make up to three awards, with an award ceiling of $1,100,000 per award, signaling support for multiple training providers or training tracks that can serve the varied needs of the ICAC network nationally.
A wide range of organizations are eligible to apply, reflecting the specialized and interdisciplinary nature of ICAC training. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. This broad eligibility suggests OJJDP is open to applicants with demonstrated expertise in law enforcement training, digital forensics, investigative techniques, prosecutorial strategy, victim-centered approaches, and other competencies relevant to technology-facilitated child exploitation cases, whether that expertise sits in academia, nonprofit training organizations, or the private sector.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity title and number (OJJDP 2016 9156), an original and current closing date of March 1, 2016, and posting and creation dates of December 23, 2015. In practical terms, the solicitation is aimed at strengthening the national ICAC task force network by ensuring consistent, high-quality training and support that keeps pace with evolving technologies, offender tactics, and investigative and prosecutorial challenges, ultimately advancing DOJ and OJJDP’s mission to protect children and improve outcomes in cases involving online sexual exploitation.
