Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2013 National AMBER Alert Training and Technical Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2013 3535) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient is expected to work closely with the federal agency during the project period rather than operating entirely independently. The purpose of the award is to strengthen the national response to endangered missing and abducted children by delivering training and hands-on technical assistance that improves how AMBER Alert partners prevent, identify, and respond to these incidents.
At its core, the program supports the AMBER Alert system as a multi-agency partnership. The announcement emphasizes that effective child recovery depends on coordination among law enforcement, broadcasters and other media, transportation agencies, emergency management, telecommunications and call centers, additional public safety agencies, and child protection organizations and professionals. The funded effort is meant to increase the nation’s overall capacity to act quickly and effectively when a child is abducted or otherwise missing under dangerous circumstances, with the goal of improving outcomes through better preparedness, consistent practices, and more reliable interagency coordination.
The authority for this program comes from Section 405 of the Missing Children’s Act, contained in Title IV of the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (42 U.S.C. 5771 et seq.). The funding falls under CFDA 16.543 (Missing Children’s Assistance), aligning it with broader federal efforts to support missing children investigations, recovery operations, and the systems that make rapid public alerting and coordinated response possible.
OJJDP anticipated making one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $2,500,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute a specific amount of non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. Because only one award was expected, the recipient would effectively serve as the primary national provider for AMBER Alert-related training and technical assistance supported by this solicitation.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations) and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). For-profit applicants are allowed, but they must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is a common federal condition used to ensure that the funds are used for public-purpose program delivery rather than generating profit. OJJDP also welcomed joint applications from multiple eligible organizations, provided that one entity is clearly designated as the primary applicant for official correspondence, award management, and overall accountability, while the other participants are listed as co-applicants.
The opportunity was posted on March 13, 2013, and closed on May 13, 2013, with an archive date of June 12, 2013. Applicants needing help with the solicitation requirements were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC) for support via phone, email, or live web chat, with extended hours on the close date.
