The Office on Violence Against Women awarded the National Network To End Domestic Violence, Inc. (NNEDV) a $450,000 cooperative agreement on August 1, 2026, under the OVW Technical Assistance Initiative (CFDA 16.526).

This award funds the continuation of NNEDV's Technology Abuse and Safety Project, covering the fifth and final year of a five-year comprehensive technical assistance project originally awarded competitively under the FY 2021 solicitation.

Performance will occur in Washington, DC, with work concluding July 31, 2027. This award is a continuation of prior Cooperative Agreement 15JOVW-23-GK-05170-MUMU.

The office on violence against women (OVW) training and technical assistance (TA) initiative provides OVW grantees, subgrantees and potential grantees 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 programming and resources, conferences, peer-to-peer learning, and targeted assistance that allows 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 2025 TA initiative funding, the national network to end domestic violence (nnedv) will continue its technology abuse and safety project. Nnedv will develop and update resources as well as provide basic and intermediate training and technical assistance to OVW grantees and subgrantees on technology-facilitated abuse in cases of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and human trafficking. This project supports purpose area 43: technology abuse and safety project. This award is for year five of a five-year comprehensive TA project awarded competitively under the FY 2021 TA initiative solicitation. This award is a continuation of 15JOVW-23-GK-05170-mumu.
