About this opportunity

The Enhancing Investigation and Prosecution (EIP) Initiative is a federal grant opportunity offered by the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women. The program aims to enhance the capacity of law enforcement agencies and/or prosecutors' offices to effectively investigate and prosecute domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking crimes. Key objectives include supporting victim safety and autonomy, holding offenders accountable, and promoting agency trust within the surrounding community. The evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's proposed strategies to expand and improve their investigative and prosecutorial responses to these crimes. The deadline for submitting proposals is July 8, 2025.

Recent federal grant awards under the related Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program have ranged from $250,000 to $1,200,000, typically spanning three-year project periods. Eligible applicants include state, local, and tribal governments, as well as other entities such as county governments and city/township governments. The place of performance will be within the jurisdiction of the applicant organization.
