Purpose of the Funding
The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the OJJDP FY 2026 Missing and Exploited Children Training and Technical Assistance program. This opportunity will build the capacity of state, Tribal, and local agencies to effectively investigate and prosecute cases of missing and exploited children. The program provides assistance to multidisciplinary teams of prosecutors, state and local law enforcement, child protection personnel, medical providers, and other child-serving professionals to strengthen multidisciplinary responses to cases of missing and exploited children and improve the investigation and prosecution of perpetrators. This program will also support National Missing Children’s Day activities as identified and requested by OJJDP.
