Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 Missing and Exploited Children Program Support grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3608) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its purpose is to select a single organization to provide core support services for OJJDPs Missing and Exploited Children (MEC) Program, which is described as OJJDPs main vehicle for building and maintaining the national infrastructure used to prevent child abduction and the exploitation of children. The solicitation emphasizes practical, program-facing support that strengthens the capacity of professionals and organizations working on these issues across the country, including local, state, and tribal partners.
The work supported under this grant centers on operating as a support hub for the MEC Program through a variety of services. Those services include, but are not limited to, meeting and conference support, information management, and the development and dissemination of publications. The target audience for these supports includes local, state, and tribal law enforcement agencies, nonprofit organizations, and other juvenile justice practitioners. In other words, the awardee is expected to help convene the field, organize and share information that practitioners can use, and produce materials that aid consistent practice and coordination across jurisdictions, all in service of preventing and responding to missing and exploited children cases.
This opportunity is categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and uses a grant as the funding instrument. OJJDP anticipated making one award, meaning the intent was to fund a single lead organization to carry out these national-level support functions rather than distributing funds across multiple unrelated projects. The award ceiling was set at $350,000, with no stated award floor, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers the barrier for eligible organizations that can demonstrate strong capability but do not have dedicated matching funds available.
Eligibility was relatively broad within the confines of organizational type. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, small businesses, and for-profit organizations that are not small businesses. The solicitation further clarifies that eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations) and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education). A key condition applied to for-profit applicants: they had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reinforcing that federal funds were intended to be used strictly for programmatic and operational costs tied to the MEC support mission rather than generating profit.
OJJDP also indicated it welcomed joint applications submitted by two or more eligible entities, which can be useful when the required work spans multiple areas of expertise, such as event planning and logistics, information systems, and publication development. However, joint applicants had to designate a clear primary applicant responsible for correspondence, award administration, and overall management, with other partners listed as co-applicants. The agency also noted that it could choose to make awards based on applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, depending on application merit and the availability of appropriations, which signals that strong proposals might remain relevant beyond the immediate fiscal year if funds and priorities align.
The opportunity was posted on April 18, 2013, with the application deadline set for June 6, 2013. The archive date was July 6, 2013, reflecting that it is no longer an active solicitation. The program is tied to CFDA number 16.543 (Missing Childrens Assistance), and the authorization cited in the description is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2013, which provided the legal and funding basis for OJJDP to run this initiative.
For support related to accessing the full announcement or meeting solicitation requirements, applicants were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) by phone at 1-877-927-5657, by email at JIC@telesishq.com, or via live web chat.
