Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 VOCA Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Professionals grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2015 4129) is a discretionary funding program from the U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to fund the development and rollout of a model training and technical assistance initiative aimed at child abuse professionals, with a strong focus on improving how child abuse cases are investigated and, especially, prosecuted in criminal courts. The legal authority for this program comes from the Victims of Child Abuse (VOCA) Act, cited as 42 U.S.C. 13003, which supports efforts that strengthen the justice system response to child victims and enhance professional capacity in handling these complex cases.
The core purpose of the solicitation is to raise the quality and effectiveness of criminal prosecution in child abuse matters by equipping professionals with practical, specialized training and hands-on technical assistance. In practice, this kind of initiative typically centers on strengthening prosecutor knowledge and skills, promoting evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, improving coordination with investigative partners, and standardizing best practices that can be replicated nationally. The grant is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the period of performance, rather than functioning solely as a hands-off pass-through award.
Funding is set at an estimated total of $900,000, with an award ceiling of $900,000 and an award floor of $0. OJJDP anticipated making one award under this opportunity, indicating a single national-scale project rather than multiple smaller grants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible applicants and places the emphasis on technical merit, experience, and the ability to deliver a high-quality national training and technical assistance model.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Applicants must be national organizations that have broad membership among attorneys who prosecute criminal cases in state courts, or be affiliated with such an organization, and must also show demonstrated experience providing training and technical assistance specifically for prosecutors. While OJJDP welcomed applications that include partnerships or collaborations among two or more entities, one eligible organization had to serve as the lead applicant and assume primary responsibility for administering the funds and managing the overall program. Other entities could participate as subrecipients. Only one application per lead applicant was allowed, though the same subrecipient could appear in multiple proposals submitted by different lead applicants.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 31, 2015, and closed on May 28, 2015, with an archive date of June 27, 2015. The program falls under the funding activity category of Law, Justice, and Legal Services and is associated with CFDA number 16.758, titled Improving the Investigation and Prosecution of Child Abuse and the Regional and Local Childrens Advocacy Centers. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or navigating solicitation requirements, OJJDP directed inquiries to its Response Center via email, with the full announcement available through the listed additional information link.
