Description
The goal of this cooperative agreement is to facilitate program support to benefit the ICAC task force program. The primary objective will be the delivery of specific products to serve law enforcement and other key stakeholders affiliated with the ICAC task force program. The deliverables (technical assistance, meeting and conference support, and information management) should be directed toward the continuation, expansion, and enhancement of the ICAC task force program.
OJJDP seeks an awardee with the demonstrated experience and ability to develop, manage, and enhance program support on a national scale. In support of this effort, the successful applicant will deliver the following, as described below:
1. Strategic Plan for Support Service Delivery. The successful applicant will develop and implement a strategic plan to respond to a wide range of program support requests. Vehicles for service delivery include, but are not limited to, logistical and technical support for teleconferences on ICAC activities; event speaker assistance; subject-matter expert deployment; offsite technical assistance, such as telephone, email, web-based, and distance learning; and onsite technical assistance to task forces, such as problem assessment, capacity building, mentoring, and evaluation. The strategic plan must include a process description and timeline for fulfilling support requests to ensure timeliness of technical assistance and service delivery and a strategy for evaluating the effectiveness of technical service. OJJDP will review and approve all technical assistance and support service requests to be filled under this program.
2. Plan To Support an ICAC Task Force National Training Event, Commanders’ Meetings, and Implementation of the National Strategy for Child Exploitation Prevention and Interdiction (National Strategy). The successful applicant, with OJJDP oversight, will coordinate, plan logistics, and support onsite meeting management for an annual ICAC national training event and as many as four commanders’ meetings that facilitate networking, skill building, and information sharing among participants. At a minimum, these tasks will involve securing OJP approval for the meetings, selecting and securing cost-effective meeting locations, advising OJJDP on meeting content and securing presenters, working with training providers, advertising meeting logistics, managing the registration process, and providing onsite meeting management support. As a part of this task, the awardee will support regular planning conference calls among OJJDP staff, consultants, and participants. In addition, the successful applicant will provide support to ICAC task forces in carrying out the goals and objectives for combating child exploitation detailed in the National Strategy.
3. System for Monitoring Consumer Feedback. The successful applicant will develop and maintain a uniform, systematic evaluation process that enables OJJDP to assess the satisfaction of the target audience with services received in terms of promptness, quality of technical assistance, and resources. This information will generate ideas for improving technical assistance, content, logistics, etc., and filling gaps in information.
4. Training and Technical Assistance Website. The successful applicant, in coordination with OJJDP,the ICAC task forces, and the ICAC training providers, will maintain, expand, and regularly update an ICAC website or portal page, which may reside on the OJJDP website or link to it, at OJJDP’s discretion. In performing this task, the awardee must demonstrate the ability to develop online communities of interest and create a communications infrastructure to organize unstructured information into relevant content and deliver it to individual user groups in real time.
The awardee will develop a system to receive and track online requests for technical assistance and to provide information regarding upcoming conferences and training events and online access to OJJDP-produced materials. The awardee will ensure that all website activities comply with applicable federal regulations and OJJDP protocols.
5. Plan for General Project Management and Monthly Reporting. The successful applicant will develop and implement a plan to efficiently and effectively manage all tasks related to ICAC program support. At a minimum, the plan should detail ongoing activities, including staffing structures, staff salary rates and percentages of time devoted to the project, and other information relative to the operation of the cooperative agreement. The plan should also include an approach for communicating regularly with OJJDP to discuss emerging priorities and assignments, status of products and deliverables, and strategies for overcoming obstacles to enhancing the awardee’s responsiveness to OJJDP priorities. In addition, the plan should outline a process for monthly reporting of program task accomplishments and an accounting of expended funds.
6. Special Projects. OJJDP may require that the awardee conduct special projects or develop products in support of this cooperative agreement. For example, OJJDP may wish to convene a special working group to design and develop educational materials for ICAC task forces to use as a part of their work in helping children and parents protect themselves from Internet predators. The awardee will work closely with the assigned OJJDP program manager on the development of any special projects, as needed.
