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 & Exploited Children in operating the National Resource Center and Information Clearinghouse. 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 grant opportunity falls under the Missing Children's Assistance program (CFDA 16.543), which focuses on comprehensive efforts to address child exploitation and technology-facilitated crimes against children. Applicants will be evaluated based on their consistency with OJJDP's policies and program priorities, with application requirements including Standard Form 424, a program narrative, budget worksheets, and various certifications. The application deadline is September 3, 2025, with the grant award to be accepted electronically through the DOJ's Justice Grants System.

The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement with a potential duration of 1 to 6 months. While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, similar programs in the Missing Children's Assistance grant program typically range from $350,000 to $1.1 million. The performance scope is national, targeting nonprofit organizations, educational institutions, and law enforcement-related entities focused on child protection. Successful applicants will be required to comply with 2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements and must be prepared to provide comprehensive support for preventing and addressing child exploitation through training, technical assistance, and demonstration programs.

Synopsis

The purpose of this funding is to support the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, which will continue to operate the National Resource Center and Information Clearinghouse, whose goal is to help prevent child abduction and sexual exploitation, find missing children, and provide technical assistance/training to victims of child abduction and sexual exploitation, their families, and the professionals who serve them.
