OpportunityTitle: OJJDP FY 18 VOCA Training and Technical Assistance for Child Abuse Prosecutors
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: Eligibility is limited to national organizations that have, or are affiliated with one that has, broad membership among attorneys who prosecute criminal cases in state courts and have demonstrated experience in providing training and technical assistance for prosecutors. Nonprofit organizations that hold money in offshore accounts for the purposes of avoiding paying the tax described in 26 U.S.C. &#167; 511(a) are not eligible to apply.    Note:  A prospective recipient of grant funds that is found to have an &#147;unresolved audit finding&#148; from a DOJ Office of the Inspector General audit, as described at 34 U.S.C. &#167; 20307, will be ineligible to receive grant funds during the period specified in that statute.  See 34 U.S.C. &#167; 20307(1)(A).    All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.    OJJDP welcomes 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).  The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire program. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (subgrantee) in more than one application.
Description: This project supports a national training and technical assistance program for attorneys and others involved in prosecuting child abuse cases in state or federal courts to enhance the effectiveness of the investigation and prosecution of such crimes.
