Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Internet Crimes Against Child Deconfliction System Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2918) is a discretionary funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal government expects to have substantial involvement in how the project is carried out, such as providing guidance, coordinating with partners, and monitoring progress more closely than under a standard grant.
The core purpose of this opportunity is to fund the construction, ongoing maintenance, and secure housing of an Internet Crimes Against Children Data System (IDS), along with the supporting work needed to make that system usable in real-world investigations. The IDS is intended to strengthen online law enforcement investigations into child exploitation by improving data deconfliction and information sharing. In practical terms, deconfliction focuses on preventing investigative overlap and reducing the risk that multiple agencies unknowingly pursue the same targets, trip over each other operationally, or duplicate efforts. By creating a shared system used across the ICAC network and federal partners, the program aims to help investigators coordinate leads, align case activity, and protect the integrity and safety of operations that may involve undercover work, time-sensitive victim identification, and rapidly changing digital evidence.
A second major component of the program is training and technical assistance. Funding is not just for building the technology, but also for ensuring ICAC Task Forces and their federal law enforcement partners can effectively use it. That includes instruction on system use, operational workflows, and likely the procedures needed to enter, query, and interpret deconfliction and investigative information in a consistent way across jurisdictions. The program also explicitly supports OJJDPs capacity to collect and aggregate information about the scope of child exploitation, meaning the IDS is expected to produce data that can be compiled to better understand trends, scale, and investigative activity nationwide without compromising sensitive case details.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. Only state and local law enforcement and prosecutorial agencies may apply, and they must either (1) already be receiving OJJDP funding to operate a state or regional Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, or (2) be an affiliate in good standing of an agency that currently receives OJJDP funding to operate such a task force. OJJDP states it will not process applications from entities outside those categories, which signals that the program is meant to serve and be governed by the established ICAC operational network rather than outside vendors or unrelated organizations.
Financially, the award ceiling is $500,000 and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 16.543 (Missing Childrens Assistance). Key dates include a posted date of January 27, 2011, and an application closing date of March 28, 2011, with the opportunity later archived on October 1, 2011. Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants would typically be expected to present a clear implementation approach, governance and security considerations for hosting a sensitive law enforcement system, and a training and technical assistance plan that reaches the intended ICAC and federal users.
The announcement also notes that OJJDP has supporting materials available for agencies preparing an application. These materials come from focus groups held with ICAC Commanders in January, centered on deconfliction needs. The data are described as uncoded and not identifiable to any individual participant, which suggests they are shared as reference input to help applicants align their proposed system features and workflows with what ICAC leadership reported as operational needs. Applicants interested in receiving these materials were instructed to request them via overnight mail by contacting the program representative.
For access issues or help with the full announcement, the listed contact is Katherine Darke Schmitt, Deputy Associate Administrator in OJJDPs Child Protection Division, reachable by phone at 202 616 7373, with an email also provided in the original posting.
