Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2014 Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children (CSEC) Field Initiated Research and Evaluation (FIRE) Program was a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). Its purpose was to support research and evaluation projects that deepen understanding of commercial sexual exploitation of children and identify more effective ways to prevent, respond to, and reduce CSEC victimization. The program emphasized practical, field-initiated work, meaning it sought studies grounded in real-world conditions and partnerships that could produce findings useful to practitioners, service providers, and systems responsible for child welfare and juvenile justice responses.
A central focus of the solicitation was encouraging innovative approaches that improve what is known about effective strategies to address CSEC. In addition to generating new knowledge, the program explicitly aimed to advance evidence-based programs and practices, particularly those that can deliver timely and comprehensive intervention services to victims. In other words, OJJDP was looking for projects that not only study the problem, but also rigorously assess interventions, programs, and service models that could be scaled or replicated and that measurably improve outcomes for exploited children.
This opportunity was authorized under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2014, and was categorized under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity area. The funding instrument was a grant, and it was associated with CFDA number 16.543, Missing Children’s Assistance. The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which generally lowered the barrier to entry for organizations that may not have substantial non-federal resources available.
Funding details included an award ceiling of $500,000, with no stated award floor. The solicitation was posted on April 2, 2014, and closed on May 19, 2014, with the archive date listed as June 18, 2014. Although the competition was tied to FY 2014, OJJDP noted that it could choose to make awards in future fiscal years based on the merit of applications and the availability of future appropriations, which signaled that strong proposals might remain relevant beyond the immediate funding cycle.
Eligibility was broad and included states (including territories), units of local government (including county, city, and township governments), federally recognized tribal governments, institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), nonprofit organizations (including 501(c)(3)s), and for-profit organizations. However, for-profit applicants had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, a common condition in some federal research and evaluation solicitations to ensure funds are directed to project activities rather than profit. OJJDP also welcomed applications involving multiple entities, but required that one eligible organization serve as the primary applicant with overall responsibility for leadership, administration, and project execution, while partners could participate as subrecipients.
For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, OJJDP directed inquiries to the Justice Information Center (JIC), providing phone and email contact options as well as live web chat support during business hours, with extended hours on the closing date. The funding opportunity number for this solicitation was OJJDP 2014 3803, and the official title was OJJDP FY 2014 Commercial Sexual Exploitation of Children Field Initiated Research and Evaluation Program.
