Note:
This awardee has received supplemental funding. This award detail page includes information about both the original award and supplemental awards.
This program furthers the Department's mission by providing grants and cooperative agreements for research and evaluation activities to organizations that OJJDP designates.
The Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council will develop and coordinate communications and dissemination activities based upon the final report on Commercial Sexual Exploitation and Sex Trafficking of Minors in the United States. These activities will include print and electronic materials and meetings and briefings to support the translation and diffusion of key findings and recommendations from the study into guidance for state and national legislators, executive branch leaders, law enforcement personnel, victim and support services providers, health care practitioners, community leaders, and members of the public.
Enhanced communication and dissemination of the report will help raise public awareness about commercial sexual exploitation and sex trafficking of minors as domestic issues with significant public health and public safety implications; promulgate a solid evidentiary foundation for future discourse and work on CSEC in the United States; and help ensure that the OJJDP-sponsored report reaches decision-makers, key stakeholders, and essential partners at all levels from a broad array of agencies and organizations.
