About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 Electronic Service Protection Order Court Pilot Program, which supports state and Tribal courts in developing innovative methods for electronically serving protection orders. Eligible applicants must be state or Tribal courts that are part of a multidisciplinary partnership, including law enforcement, prosecutors, victim service providers, and court personnel. The primary objective is to create comprehensive, technologically advanced approaches for legally and properly serving protection orders through electronic communication methods. Evaluation criteria will be specified in the program notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), with applicants required to submit proposals through Grants.gov and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System. The application deadline is August 13, 2025, with applicants expected to be notified by the end of the fiscal year.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the program has previously awarded grants up to $1,500,000 for five-year projects. Recipients must retain financial records, supporting documents, and other pertinent records for three years following the final expenditure report submission. The grant will support courts in developing pilot programs for electronic protection order service, with potential for renewal considered on a case-by-case basis. Upon approval, the Authorized Representative must accept the award online through the OVW system. Recipients must comply with the current DOJ Financial Grants Management Guide and will be expected to implement their electronic service protection order programs in collaboration with their multidisciplinary partners.
