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 clery center for security on campus (clery center) will continue the comprehensive training and technical assistance on jeanne clery act project. This project will provide basic and advanced training and technical assistance to institutions of higher education to improve jeanne clery act reporting, training, and record keeping for the crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus. Over the course of the project period, the clery center will provide direct technical assistance, policy reviews, and trainings to grantees and potential grantees of the grants to reduce domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking on campus program to aid them in meeting clery act requirements and effectively addressing violence against women. This project supports FY 2024 TA initiative purpose area 43: comprehensive training and technical assistance on the jeanne clery act. The timing for performance of this award is 36 months. This award is for years three, four, and five of a five-year comprehensive TA project awarded competitively under the FY 2022 TA initiative solicitation.
