The Iowa Coalition Against Sexual Assault (Iowacasa) received a $375,000 cooperative agreement award from the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2023. The award is provided under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526) program to deliver comprehensive technical assistance to grantees and subgrantees developing and implementing projects to increase victim safety and offender accountability.

Specifically, Iowacasa will provide expertise and support to help grantees and subgrantees, including a $25,000 subaward to the North Carolina Coalition Against Sexual Assault, develop and carry out successful state, local, tribal and campus projects. This technical assistance is intended to bolster grantee efforts to forge partnerships across agencies and disciplines to effectively respond to violent crimes against women, in line with the goals of the OVW Technical Assistance program.
