OJJDP FY25 Victims of Child Abuse Act Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "OJJDP FY25 Victims of Child Abuse Act Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OJJDP-2025-172514). The goal of this program is to strengthen how child abuse cases are investigated and prosecuted by supporting specialized training and technical assistance geared toward attorneys handling these matters. The opportunity is rooted in improving professional practice in cases involving child physical abuse, child sexual abuse, technology-facilitated child exploitation, and child fatalities, with an emphasis on raising the overall quality and effectiveness of the criminal justice response.

This funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the awarding agency expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project, such as collaborating on deliverables, providing guidance, and participating in oversight or strategic direction. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the associated CFDA number is 16.758. The program is designed to support work that helps prosecutors and other involved attorneys perform at a higher level in complex, high-stakes child abuse cases, including the kinds of investigations and courtroom strategies that can make a meaningful difference in outcomes for victims and community safety.

Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including both (1) nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and (2) nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). In other words, the competition is limited to nonprofit entities rather than universities or governmental bodies, and applicants should be positioned to deliver nationwide or multi-jurisdictional training and technical assistance, given the scale and purpose implied by the award size and the single expected award.

The opportunity anticipates making one award, with an award ceiling of $2,600,000. With only one award expected, this is likely intended to fund a single lead organization to operate as a central provider of training and technical assistance for child abuse prosecutors, potentially coordinating curriculum development, practitioner resources, onsite or virtual training, case consultation, and other forms of capacity-building support. The NOFO was created on 2026-02-19, and the original closing date for applications is 2026-03-30, which provides a relatively short application window and suggests applicants should already have a well-developed program model, experienced staff, and established relationships with the prosecutorial and child protection community.

In practical terms, the grant is aimed at improving prosecutorial effectiveness and the quality of investigations in child abuse matters by ensuring attorneys have access to specialized knowledge and hands-on support. That can include building competency in trauma-informed approaches, working effectively with child victims and multidisciplinary teams, handling digital evidence and online exploitation dynamics, improving charging decisions and trial advocacy in sensitive cases, and strengthening approaches in child fatality cases where medical, forensic, and investigative complexity is common. Overall, this opportunity is designed to fund a specialized nonprofit provider that can raise practice standards, support prosecutors confronting evolving forms of child victimization (including technology-facilitated exploitation), and help jurisdictions pursue stronger, more consistent case outcomes.
