Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171199
The OJJDP FY 2022 Victims of Child Abuse Act Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors opportunity is a discretionary Department of Justice grant, administered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), aimed at strengthening how child abuse cases are investigated and prosecuted across the country. The program is designed to support a national training and technical assistance effort focused specifically on attorneys who handle the criminal prosecution of child abuse. At its core, the grant is meant to improve professional practice and outcomes in these complex cases by building prosecutors skills, knowledge, and access to specialized support so they can more effectively pursue justice while minimizing additional harm to children and families involved in the legal process.
This solicitation sits within the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) broader priorities, which include advancing civil rights and racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting crime victims and others impacted by the justice system, strengthening community safety, protecting the public from evolving threats, and improving trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. In practical terms, applicants would be expected to build training and technical assistance that aligns with these values, meaning the national program should not only improve prosecution capacity, but also promote fairness, equity, and victim-centered approaches when responding to child abuse and related offenses.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals a closer working relationship between the recipient and the federal agency than a standard grant. That typically means OJJDP may have substantial involvement in guiding key aspects of the work, such as shaping deliverables, coordinating on national priorities, and ensuring the training and technical assistance model is implemented in a way that meets federal expectations. The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.758.
In terms of funding scale and competition structure, OJJDP anticipated making a single award under this opportunity, with an award ceiling of $2,700,000. The opportunity was created on March 16, 2022, and originally closed on May 3, 2022. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the solicitation text, which typically indicates that certain types of organizations (often national nonprofits, training and technical assistance providers, or similar entities with demonstrated expertise) may qualify even if they do not fall into the most common applicant categories like state or local governments.
Overall, this grant opportunity is essentially about building and delivering a nationwide support system for child abuse prosecutors through structured training and hands-on technical assistance, with the goal of improving the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of child abuse prosecutions while aligning that work with OJP priorities around equity, victim support, and public trust.Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171199
