The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women awarded a $900,000 cooperative agreement to the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault from October 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023 under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526). The award will support the Resource Sharing Project Technical Assistance to Sexual Assault Coalitions, providing critical resources to help communities forge partnerships to effectively respond to violent crimes against women.

Specifically, the Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault will deliver project development and management, evaluation, site visits, trainings, project planning, and regular communication to sexual assault coalitions. A $TBD sub-award was also provided to the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault to support additional activities to be identified that further the goals of the federal grant program. The OVW Technical Assistance Initiative aims to provide grantees with subject matter expertise to enhance community responses.
