The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "OJJDP FY25 Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force National Training Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OJJDP-2025-172449). This program is intended to strengthen the national Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) task force network by supporting organizations that can design and deliver high-quality training for the professionals who investigate, prosecute, and otherwise respond to online child sexual exploitation and child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating on deliverables, priorities, and performance expectations.

The core purpose of the opportunity is training: creating, improving, and providing instruction that helps ICAC task forces and their partners stay effective as technology, offender tactics, digital evidence challenges, and investigative best practices continue to evolve. The intended training audience spans the full response ecosystem, including law enforcement investigators, prosecutors, digital forensic specialists, and other agencies or organizations that work on CSAM and online child exploitation matters. In practical terms, the program is aimed at building consistent national capabilities, improving the quality and efficiency of investigations and prosecutions, and ensuring personnel across jurisdictions have access to up-to-date methods and knowledge relevant to internet-facilitated crimes against children.

Eligible applicants are broad and include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories), Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. The funding is associated with CFDA 16.543 and falls under the "Law, Justice and Legal Services" activity category, reflecting its focus on criminal justice capacity-building rather than direct service provision.

Key funding details include an award ceiling of $1,500,000 per award and an expectation of up to six awards. The opportunity was created on September 11, 2025, and the original application closing date is October 21, 2025. Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to fund organizations capable of delivering coordinated national training that helps the ICAC network and its multidisciplinary partners better prevent, investigate, and prosecute technology-enabled child exploitation crimes, with an emphasis on keeping skills and practices current in a rapidly changing digital environment.
