National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. In general, OJP expects that a prospective applicant that is sent an OJP Invitation Letter will be eligible to receive funding as described in the invitation. (Under certain circumstances, however, OJP ultimately may determine that an invited applicant is not, in fact, legally eligible to receive an award.) All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. OJJDP will consider 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). For additional information on subawards, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. [1] References to the “solicitation” in the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide generally should be understood (unless expressly stated otherwise) to mean the invited application guidance provided here or the program or project(s) described in the invited application guidance.

Is this a realistic fit?

• Past Missing Children's Assistance awards averaged $1.8 million; this notice allows up to $38.8 million per award.
• Most of the program's money (51% over five years) went to nonprofits.
• No cost sharing or match is required.
