Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2011 Law Enforcement Strategies for Protecting Children from Commercial Sexual Exploitation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2011 2966) was a discretionary Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention program offered through a cooperative agreement to strengthen law enforcement responses to the commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) of children. The focus was specifically on protecting youth under 18 by helping selected agencies build and formalize stronger strategies for identifying victims, improving investigations, supporting prosecutions of adult exploiters, and ensuring victims are treated as victims rather than offenders. A central theme of the program was improving how agencies recognize and respond to CSE cases, including situations where technology plays a role in recruiting, advertising, grooming, or facilitating exploitation.
The solicitation emphasized practical, operational improvements within law enforcement agencies. Funded work was expected to improve training and coordination across relevant partners, create or refine agency policies and procedures for identifying CSE victims, and enhance investigative and prosecutorial efforts aimed at adults who commercially exploit children. It also stressed adopting best practices for intervention that are appropriate, trauma-informed, and compassionate, with attention to getting victims connected to essential services. The program explicitly recognized that modern exploitation can be enabled by digital tools and online platforms, so strategies were expected to address technology-facilitated aspects of these crimes as part of the overall approach.
Eligibility was narrow and restricted to the established Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) network. OJJDP would accept applications only from the existing 61 ICAC Task Forces and ICAC affiliate law enforcement agencies, and no other applicants were permitted. Applicants had to include a valid memorandum of understanding (MOU) plus a letter of support from the commander of the relevant regional or state ICAC Task Force agency. Joint applications were allowed when two or more eligible agencies wanted to apply together, but one agency had to be designated as the primary applicant for communication, award acceptance, and grant management, with the others listed as co-applicants. Agencies that had already received funding under the FY 2010 Law Enforcement Strategies for Protecting Children from Commercial Sexual Exploitation solicitation were specifically excluded from eligibility for this FY 2011 competition.
The award structure set a ceiling of $300,000 with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 16.543 (Missing Children’s Assistance) and was categorized under Law, Justice, and Legal Services. Key dates included a posted date of March 14, 2011, a closing date of May 12, 2011 (unchanged), and an archive date of June 11, 2011. Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, recipients could expect more substantial federal involvement than under a typical grant, often meaning closer coordination with OJJDP on goals, deliverables, and implementation approaches.
The program was described as being authorized through an act appropriating funds for the Department of Justice, reflecting that funding depended on congressional appropriations for DOJ. For assistance, the solicitation listed Christopher Holloway, Program Manager, as the primary contact (202-305-9838; Christopher.Holloway@usdoj.gov), and it provided an OJJDP funding detail link for the full announcement (http://www.ojjdp.gov/funding/FundingDetail.aspfi228).
