The OJJDP FY 18 Child Abuse Training for Judicial and Court Personnel grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: OJJDP 2018 13521) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to strengthen how courts and the broader judicial system respond to child abuse, child neglect, and related case types, with a specific emphasis on improving outcomes in matters involving children who have been commercially sexually exploited or trafficked for sex. In practical terms, the opportunity centers on building the knowledge and capacity of judges and court personnel so that these sensitive cases are recognized quickly, managed consistently, and handled using practices that protect children and reflect current legal and child welfare standards.
This funding is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during the award period rather than operating strictly as a hands-off funder. The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and is associated with CFDA number 16.575. OJJDP anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $2,000,000. The opportunity was created on March 19, 2018, and had an original application closing date of May 3, 2018.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility information section (not included in the provided excerpt). This label typically indicates the competition may be open to certain organizations that do not fit neatly into standard categories like state governments or local governments, and applicants would need to consult the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement to confirm whether their organization qualifies.
Overall, the core purpose of the grant is capacity-building for the judicial branch and court systems through training and related support efforts, aiming to improve judicial decision-making and court practices in child abuse and neglect cases, including complex cases involving commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking of children.Apply for OJJDP 2018 13521
