About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking a national membership and accreditation organization to support Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) through a cooperative agreement. The primary objective is to provide comprehensive training and technical assistance for implementing national standards for coordinating responses to child abuse victims. Applicants must demonstrate expertise in supporting CACs and the ability to develop robust training programs for criminal justice professionals, including law enforcement, attorneys, medical professionals, child protective services workers, and mental health professionals. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the organization's capacity to enhance investigation and prosecution of child abuse cases, develop multi-disciplinary team approaches, and provide nationwide support. The grant opportunity has a tight application window, with proposals due by November 25, 2025, under the Improving the Investigation and Prosecution of Child Abuse and Regional and Local Children's Advocacy Centers program.
While specific award amounts are not definitively stated, similar federal grant programs in this domain typically range from $428,000 to $26,059,714, with project durations of 1-3 years. The cooperative agreement will be managed through DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants), with electronic acceptance required by the authorized organizational official. Performance locations are expected to be at the recipient's organization or designated community centers, with a focus on national or multi-regional initiatives. Successful applicants will be subject to 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must retain financial records and supporting documents for three years following the final expenditure report submission.
