Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 60009
The Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) funding opportunity titled "Field-Generated Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance for Law Enforcement" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OVC-2021-60009) is a discretionary cooperative agreement program designed to strengthen how state, local, and tribal jurisdictions respond to and combat human trafficking in all its forms, consistent with the definition in 22 USC 7102. Rather than paying for direct anti-trafficking operations in individual communities, this program focuses on building and delivering training and technical assistance (TTA) that can be used broadly across the field, especially by law enforcement and partners who need practical tools to close knowledge and capability gaps.
The core purpose is to collaborate with practitioners and stakeholders in the field to identify what is not working well, where training is missing or outdated, and what kinds of support would actually help agencies improve their responses. Funded applicants are expected to develop innovative, field-informed TTA resources that can strengthen existing programs, build organizational and investigative capacity, troubleshoot persistent implementation problems, and demonstrate new or improved approaches that others can replicate. In other words, OVC is looking for providers that can translate real-world needs into usable products and services such as curricula, toolkits, protocols, problem-solving assistance, and other training supports that help law enforcement respond more effectively while aligning with victim-centered practices that are common across OVC efforts.
A key requirement is that proposed work should not duplicate other Office of Justice Programs (OJP) funded solicitations or resources. The program is intended to fill genuine gaps and add value to the national landscape of anti-trafficking training and technical assistance, so competitive proposals would typically show awareness of existing federally funded TTA offerings and explain clearly what is new, different, or missing, and why the proposed work would broadly benefit the field beyond a single jurisdiction. Just as important, this solicitation is not an invitation for individual state or local jurisdictions to request funding for their own anti-trafficking enforcement initiatives; it is aimed at organizations that can serve as TTA providers to multiple jurisdictions.
Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial involvement from OVC in shaping or guiding the work, coordinating efforts, and ensuring that deliverables align with federal goals and existing victim services and task force support structures. Funded TTA providers are also expected to coordinate with other OVC-funded TTA programs, particularly those that support victims of human trafficking and multidisciplinary task forces, so that law enforcement training and technical assistance is consistent with broader victim support systems and does not operate in a silo.
The opportunity was created on January 14, 2021, with an original application closing date of March 1, 2021. OVC anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling of $500,000. The assistance listing is under CFDA 16.320, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting OVCs victim-focused mission even when the target audience includes law enforcement partners.
Eligible applicants include a wide range of organizations capable of providing training and technical assistance at scale: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), federally recognized Native American tribal governments, for-profit organizations other than small businesses, and small businesses. The overall takeaway is that OVC is seeking organizations that can develop and deliver practical, innovative, and field-driven training and technical assistance products for law enforcement that improve anti-trafficking responses nationwide while coordinating closely with existing OVC-funded TTA efforts and avoiding duplication.Apply for O OVC 2021 60009
