Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2024 172203

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering a FY24 discretionary funding opportunity focused on strengthening the Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) program through continued development and support of the ICAC Child Online Protection System (ICACCOPS). The ICAC program is a nationwide effort that brings together 61 multi-agency, multi-jurisdictional task forces that handle investigations, digital forensic examinations, and prosecutions involving technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation. Beyond casework, these task forces also provide specialized forensic and technical assistance to law enforcement and prosecutors, and they deliver community education for parents, educators, and other stakeholders to help prevent exploitation and improve reporting and response.

The central purpose of this award is to ensure that ICACCOPS, the investigative toolset used across the ICAC network and by partnering agencies, is maintained, strengthened, and enhanced. In practical terms, the funded work is meant to support OJJDP and the ICAC task forces by keeping the system reliable and effective for investigations and coordination, and by improving capabilities that help federal, state, and local partners work together. The solicitation also notes alignment with the ICAC National Training Program providers, indicating the system improvements should support or complement training and operational needs across the broader ICAC ecosystem.

This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial involvement by the funding agency during the project period (for example, collaboration on priorities, deliverables, and coordination with national partners). The program area is categorized under law, justice, and legal services, and it is associated with CFDA number 16.543. The opportunity is labeled "Invited to Apply," with Fox Valley Technical College identified in the description, signaling that the applicant pool is likely limited and that the named organization is the intended or primary applicant.

Key administrative details include a funding opportunity number of O-OJJDP-2024-172203, an original application closing date of July 24, 2024, and an expected single award. The maximum award amount (ceiling) is $900,000. Overall, the grant centers on sustaining and improving a national investigative platform that supports complex, multi-jurisdictional child exploitation cases, while reinforcing the operational capacity of the ICAC task force network and its partners.
