About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is seeking a cooperative agreement to support the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) program. The primary objectives include preventing child abduction and sexual exploitation, locating missing children, and providing technical assistance and training to victims, their families, and professionals serving them. This opportunity falls under the Missing Children's Assistance Federal Grant Program (CFDA 16.543), which aims to enhance comprehensive efforts to address child exploitation and technology-facilitated crimes against children. Applicants will be evaluated based on their consistency with OJJDP's policies, program priorities, and applicable laws. The grant opportunity was posted on September 25, 2025, with a response deadline of October 1, 2025.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, similar programs in the Missing Children's Assistance Federal Grant Program typically range from $350,000 to $1.1 million with grant durations of one to six months. The performance scope is nationwide, targeting nonprofit organizations and entities focused on child protection and exploitation prevention. Successful applicants will be notified through DOJ's Justice Grants System (JustGrants) and must electronically accept the grant award through the system. The cooperative agreement will support comprehensive efforts to develop investigative tools, provide professional training, and maintain national networks of child protection specialists.
