The office on violence against women (OVW) training and technical assistance (TA) initiative provides OVW grantees and subgrantees with the expertise and support they need to develop and implement successful state, local, tribal, and campus projects; increase victim safety; and bolster offender accountability. Through cooperative agreements, OVW supports educational initiatives, conferences, peer-to-peer consultations, and targeted assistance that allow current and potential grantees and subgrantees to learn from experts and one another about how to overcome obstacles and incorporate promising practices in their efforts to address violence against women. In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of the criminal and civil justice systems and victim service providers to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking and to foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally worked together to address violence against women. With FY 2024 TA initiative funding, the national council of juvenile and family court judges (NCJFCJ) will provide technical assistance to coordinate and streamline TA delivery to grantees and potential grantees under ovws grants to reduce domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus program (campus program), which includes coordinating the efforts of TA providers, creating centralized communication to grantees, coordinating TA information for dissemination and coordinating meeting logistics for OVW campus grantees and potential grantees for institutions of higher education on domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus. This project supports FY 2024 TA initiative purpose area: 44 comprehensive on coordination of campus TA delivery. The timing for performance of this award is 15 months. This award is a comprehensive award and represents year 3 of the five-year award cycle and is a continuation of 15JOVW-22-GK-04031-camp.
