The grant aims to support these institutions in developing and implementing comprehensive strategies to prevent and address gender-based violence on campus, with a focus on building institutional capacity to respond effectively to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Eligible applicants must be institutions of higher education in compliance with campus crime reporting requirements and may apply individually or as a consortium. The evaluation criteria will be specified in the program notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), with applications to be submitted through Grants.gov and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System. The critical deadline for this opportunity is September 9, 2025, with applicants expected to be notified by the end of the fiscal year.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated in this opportunity, similar OVW campus programs typically provide grants ranging from $350,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning three to four years.

Successful applicants will be expected to retain financial and supporting documentation for three years following the final expenditure report, with potential extensions if any litigation or audit is ongoing. The grant is designed to be implemented across the applying institutions' campuses, with a specific emphasis on meeting the unique needs of students at HSIs, HBCUs, and TCUs.
