Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Recovery Act Needs Assessment and Developmental Activities for the National Internet Crimes Against Children Data System (NIDS)," was issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), under CFDA 16.800 (Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program) with Recovery Act funding. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal government expected to stay actively involved in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The program anticipated making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount and maximum award ceiling of $921,102, and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The opportunity was posted on June 2, 2010, with a closing date of July 15, 2010, and it was later archived on August 14, 2010.
The central goal of the award was to fund preparatory work that would support the future development of the National Internet Crimes Against Children Data System (NIDS). NIDS stems from requirements in the PROTECT Act, which directs DOJ, working alongside federal, state, local, and other law enforcement partners, to develop and implement a national data system focused on internet crimes against children. The announcement frames NIDS as a nationwide capability meant to strengthen how law enforcement investigates and prosecutes child exploitation cases by improving information sharing, coordination, and analytic capacity across jurisdictions and agencies.
In practical terms, the opportunity focused on needs assessment and developmental activities rather than full-scale deployment. The envisioned NIDS system would serve credentialed users, specifically including federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement officers involved in child exploitation investigations and prosecutions. It would allow those authorized users to both contribute data and access data, supporting several operational needs at once: reducing or resolving case conflicts across agencies (for example, when multiple jurisdictions are unknowingly investigating the same suspect or network), enabling or linking to a dynamic undercover capability to support online investigations, and building essential software and networking features so participating law enforcement entities can report case information in a consistent way at the national level. A major emphasis is that the system would not just store information, but also permit real-time analysis to help identify targets more quickly and to estimate the scope and scale of law enforcement activity addressing these crimes nationally.
Eligibility for the lead applicant role was tightly limited. Only the 61 Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces funded by OJJDP were eligible to apply as the primary recipient. At the same time, the opportunity acknowledged that the work blends research-oriented planning and software development, and therefore anticipated that an applying ICAC Task Force would likely need to bring in partners with specialized expertise in areas like research, systems analysis, software engineering, and network development. The announcement also made clear that applicants could propose subcontracting with public or private organizations, so long as procurement and subaward arrangements followed the Office of Justice Programs financial rules. Importantly, potential partners were not required to work only with their nearest geographically located task force; the program explicitly allowed collaboration across regions based on capability and fit.
From an operational standpoint, the funding sits within the broader law, justice, and legal services activity category, and it is best understood as an early-stage investment to define requirements, design pathways, and initiate development steps needed to eventually stand up a national, secure, and interoperable system. Because NIDS is intended for sensitive law enforcement use, the underlying premise is that access would be restricted to vetted, credentialed users and that the system would be built to support coordinated investigations, safer and more effective undercover operations online, and analytics that help law enforcement prioritize and understand trends in child exploitation activity and enforcement actions nationwide.
For administrative and applicant support, the announcement provided a task force contact directory through the ICAC training site and listed a DOJ program contact (Katherine Darke Schmitt, Deputy Associate Administrator) for assistance, particularly for those who had trouble accessing the full announcement text electronically.
