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, futures without violence will continue to provide training and technical assistance to OVW grantees, subgrantees, and potential grantees and subgrantees, to enhance their ability to design and deliver interactive in-person and virtual education and training programs utilizing adult learning methods. This project supports FY 2024 TA initiative purpose area 19: institute for leadership in education development (i-led). The timing for performance of this award is 24 months. This award is a continuation of 15JOVW-22-GK-03994-mumu.
