About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking cooperative agreement applications to expand and enhance Children's Advocacy Centers (CACs) serving American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The primary objective is to improve investigative responses and treatment services for child abuse victims and their families through coordinated multidisciplinary programs. Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, private and public higher education institutions, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and for-profit organizations. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's ability to develop comprehensive, facility-based programs that deliver coordinated support and improve child abuse investigation and treatment. The grant opportunity was posted on September 17, 2025, with proposals due by October 27, 2025.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the associated federal grant program has historically awarded cooperative agreements ranging from $428,000 to $26,059,714, with project durations typically spanning 1-3 years. The place of performance will generally be within the recipient's organization or designated tribal community, with a focus on establishing or enhancing local Children's Advocacy Centers. The program aims to provide training, technical assistance, and resource development to support a comprehensive approach to addressing child abuse in Native communities. Successful applicants will be notified through the DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and must electronically accept the grant award.
