(a) The Attorney General may give a grant to an eligible nonprofit, non-governmental organization to help oversee the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee and each national governing body on protecting amateur athletes from abuse — emotional, physical, and sexual — in sports. (b) To be eligible, a nonprofit must apply to the Attorney General, in whatever form and with whatever information the Attorney General requires, showing it has (1) nationally recognized expertise in preventing and investigating abuse in the corporation's and national governing bodies' athletic programs, and (2) the ability to oversee regular and random audits confirming that abuse-prevention policies are being followed correctly. (c) A grant recipient may use the money to: (1) develop and test new training materials for preventing and identifying abuse in youth athletic programs; (2) pay staff salaries, travel, equipment, printing, and other reasonable costs of developing and sharing abuse-prevention information with the corporation, national governing bodies, and other amateur sports organizations; and (3) oversee the audits described in (b)(2). (d) Funding: (1) Congress authorized $2,500,000 per year for this grant for fiscal years 2018 through 2022. (2) Any money appropriated for this stays available until it's spent, even past that period.
