OJJDP Announces Solicitation for Project Safe Childhood Programs

OJJDP Announces Solicitation for Project Safe Childhood Programs

The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) invites applicants for its Project Safe Childhood Programs solicitation.

The U.S. Department of Justice’s Project Safe Childhood initiative combats the proliferation of technology-facilitated sexual exploitation crimes against children by facilitating collaboration among U.S. Attorneys, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Forces, and other national and community groups to investigate, prosecute, and prevent such crimes.
This solicitation seeks applicants to support the initiative under Parts A and B. Part A requests proposals for collaboration with OJJDP to develop community awareness and public education programs which can be delivered to national audiences and to specific target populations. Part B requests proposals to develop and deliver Internet-safety training and education in discrete communities.

Eligible applicants are private organizations (including faith- and community-based nonprofit organizations).

The application deadline is June 15, 2007, and applicants should register with Grants.Gov as early as possible to prevent delays in submitting their applications by the deadline.
