About this opportunity
The Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs (OJP), specifically the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), is seeking a cooperative agreement to update the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program Development and Operation Guide. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive resource that enhances the quality and scope of services provided to sexual assault survivors by updating the existing guide to reflect recent advances in forensic nursing practice, changes in national standards, and evolving protocols. Eligible applicants include public and private higher education institutions, tribal governments, non-profit organizations, city/county governments, and state governments. The guide will provide a structured approach for establishing and improving forensic nursing programs dedicated to supporting sexual assault victims. The solicitation was posted on July 22, 2025, with proposals due by August 15, 2025, under the Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants program (CFDA 16.582).
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated in the documentation, the related grant program typically provides funding ranging from $163,224 to $4,989,850, with most awards falling between $200,000 and $500,000. The performance period is expected to align with standard federal grant timelines, likely spanning two to three years from the award date. The place of performance would be determined by the selected applicant, with the expectation of developing a nationally applicable resource that can be utilized by SANE programs across the United States. The cooperative agreement format suggests substantial federal agency involvement in guiding the development of the updated SANE program guide.
Synopsis
This notice of funding opportunity will support the updating of the OVC Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program Development and Operation Guide to ensure the field of forensic nursing remains responsive to the needs of survivors of sexual assault. Under this NOFO, OVC will support updates to the OVC SANE Program Development and Operation Guide ("the Guide"). The Guide serves as a comprehensive resource for developing, expanding, or improving SANE programs to help communities enhance the quality and scope of services provided to victims. The Guide provides a structured approach for setting up a forensic nursing program dedicated to providing care to survivors of sexual assault. Significant advances in forensic nursing practice, as well as changes in national standards and evolving protocols, necessitate an update of the Guide to ensure it remains an effective and relevant tool for SANE programs across the country.
