Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2022 171443

The OJJDP FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Forces opportunity is a continuation funding solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to support the ongoing work of ICAC Task Forces, which are networks of law enforcement agencies focused on investigating and prosecuting technology-facilitated crimes against children, particularly offenses involving child sexual abuse material and online exploitation. The legal authority cited for this funding is Pub. L. No. 117-103, 136 Stat. 49, 129, which provides the statutory basis for the program funding and administration.

This opportunity is issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That structure typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded project beyond simply providing funds, such as setting program expectations, participating in oversight, requiring regular coordination, and ensuring the work aligns with national ICAC program standards and priorities. The funding instrument and the program context suggest the awards are meant to sustain and strengthen existing ICAC Task Force operations rather than launch entirely new initiatives, which is consistent with the listing as a continuation opportunity.

The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the program is associated with CFDA number 16.543. The solicitation is labeled "Invited to Apply," which generally indicates it is not broadly competitive and is instead targeted to a defined set of recipients that OJJDP has identified in advance, commonly existing task forces or designated entities already participating in the ICAC program. The eligibility field is listed as "Others," with the note to consult the additional eligibility information in the full opportunity text for the precise definition of who can apply; in practice, invited continuation solicitations usually limit eligibility to current awardees or specific ICAC Task Force lead agencies.

Key administrative details indicate the opportunity was created on September 15, 2022, with an original closing date of September 22, 2022, reflecting a short application window that is typical for continuation or invited solicitations where applicants are already known and the scope is largely a renewal of ongoing work. OJJDP anticipated making 61 awards under this opportunity, and the listed award ceiling is $1,090,276, meaning individual awards could be funded up to that maximum level depending on need, performance, and program considerations.

In short, this funding opportunity represents OJJDP support for the continued operation of ICAC Task Forces nationwide through cooperative agreements, grounded in the cited statutory authority, and structured as a targeted, continuation-based solicitation with a short turnaround time, an expected 61 awards, and a per-award cap just over $1.09 million.
