OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 2022 Victims of Child Abuse Act Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligibility is limited to national organizations that have a broad representation of attorneys who prosecute criminal cases in state courts and have demonstrated experience in providing training and technical assistance for prosecutors. For purposes of this solicitation, whether an organization has a broad representation of attorneys will be determined based on those attorneys who are currently employees of the applicant organization, paid consultants, and/or attorneys from the applicant&amp;rsquo;s partner/subrecipient agencies. Nonprofit organizations that hold money in offshore accounts for the purpose of avoiding paying the tax described in 26 U.S.C. &amp;sect; 511(a) are not eligible to apply.  To&amp;nbsp;advance Executive Order 13929 Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Attorney General determined that all state, local, and university or college law enforcement agencies must be certified by an approved independent credentialing body or have started the certification process, to be eligible for FY 2022 DOJ discretionary grant funding. To become certified, the law enforcement agency must meet two mandatory conditions: (1) the agency&amp;rsquo;s use-of-force policies adhere to all applicable federal, state, and local laws and (2) the agency&amp;rsquo;s use-of-force policies prohibit chokeholds except in situations where use of deadly force is allowed by law. The certification requirement also applies to law enforcement agencies receiving DOJ discretionary grant funding through a subaward. For detailed information on this certification requirement, please visit https://cops.usdoj.gov/SafePolicingEO to access the Standards for Certification on Safe Policing for Safe Communities, the Implementation Fact Sheet, and the List of Designated Independent Credentialing Bodies.&amp;nbsp;  All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.  OJJDP will consider applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). For additional information on subawards, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide.  OJJDP may elect to fund applications submitted under this fiscal year (FY) 2022 solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and the availability of appropriations.
