Opportunity Information: Apply for BJA 2017 11223
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), within the U.S. Department of Justice, offered the FY 2017 Intellectual Property Enforcement Program (IPEP) grant opportunity titled "Protecting Public Health, Safety, and the Economy from Counterfeit Goods and Product Piracy" (Funding Opportunity Number: BJA 2017 11223). This discretionary grant program was built around the idea that counterfeit goods and product piracy are not just economic offenses, but can also create real risks to public health and safety while undermining legitimate commerce. The core purpose of IPEP was to strengthen how state, local, and tribal criminal justice systems prevent, investigate, and prosecute intellectual property (IP) crimes, while also expanding access to training and technical assistance so jurisdictions can respond more effectively and consistently.
IPEP was structured to provide national support and to improve operational capacity across the criminal justice system for IP criminal enforcement. In practical terms, the program emphasized strengthening prosecution and enforcement efforts, improving prevention strategies, and delivering training and technical assistance. The intent was to help agencies and partners build the skills, tools, and coordination needed to address counterfeit goods distribution and product piracy, recognizing that these cases often involve complex supply chains, cross-jurisdictional activity, and specialized legal and investigative considerations.
Eligible applicants reflected a wide range of public-sector and higher education institutions that could play a role in criminal justice capacity-building. Eligible entities included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments were also eligible, along with private institutions of higher education. This eligibility design supported both direct justice system applicants (such as state or local governments) and academic institutions that might deliver training, research, technical assistance, or program support aligned with enforcement and prevention goals.
From a funding standpoint, awards were capped at an award ceiling of $400,000, with an expectation of making about 6 awards. The opportunity was categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and carried CFDA number 16.752. The funding instrument type was a grant. The solicitation was created on December 15, 2016, with an original application closing date of January 31, 2017. Overall, the program was positioned as a targeted investment to help jurisdictions better protect consumers and communities from the harms associated with counterfeit products and piracy, while also safeguarding legitimate markets and the broader economy through improved enforcement, prevention, and system-wide capability.Apply for BJA 2017 11223
