Opportunity Information: Apply for O OJJDP 2025 172479

The OJJDP FY25 Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force Program - Invited To Apply is a continuation funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). It is designed to strengthen and sustain state and local law enforcement efforts to investigate and respond to crimes involving the online sexual exploitation of children. The program’s central focus is helping agencies build and maintain effective operational responses to online enticement by sexual predators, child exploitation investigations, and cases involving child sexual abuse material (CSAM), including child obscenity and pornography offenses.

This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning recipients should expect an active federal role in oversight, coordination, and performance management compared with a standard grant. The opportunity category is listed as continuation, and it is labeled “Invited To Apply,” which typically indicates it is intended for existing ICAC task force recipients or otherwise specifically designated applicants rather than the general public. The funding is tied to CFDA 16.543, which corresponds to the ICAC Task Force Program.

Eligible applicants are listed as “Others,” reflecting the program’s focus on established task force entities and partner structures that may not fit neatly into a single applicant type category. The purpose is to support coordinated, multi-jurisdictional law enforcement approaches to technology-facilitated crimes against children, often requiring specialized investigative capacity, digital forensics, cross-agency collaboration, and victim-centered practices.

Key details from the listing include the funding opportunity number O-OJJDP-2025-172479, an application closing date of November 26, 2025, and an award ceiling of $1,042,765 per award. OJJDP expects to make approximately 61 awards under this solicitation, consistent with maintaining a national network of ICAC task forces. The opportunity was created on November 19, 2025.

In practical terms, this funding is meant to help ICAC task forces and affiliated law enforcement partners remain capable of handling complex and fast-evolving online child exploitation threats. That can include strengthening investigative operations, improving case coordination across jurisdictions, and supporting the specialized tools and training needed to identify offenders, collect and analyze digital evidence, and protect children from ongoing harm.
