About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), a division of the Department of Justice, is issuing an Administrative Funding Adjustment (AFA) for its Fiscal Year 2026 Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response (ICJR) Program. This grant opportunity is specifically an invitation to previously awarded grantees to continue their existing work, with the scope, purpose, award amount, and performance period remaining consistent with their original grant. The program aims to improve criminal justice responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking by supporting state, local, tribal governments, and courts in developing coordinated community responses. Eligible applicants include state governments, Indian tribal governments, state and local courts, and units of local government, with particular emphasis on organizations that can enhance victim safety and hold offenders accountable. Applicants must submit their proposals through the Grants.gov portal and the Department of Justice's JustGrants System by the deadline of December 10, 2025.
The grant will provide funding through the Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (CFDA Number 16.590), with recent awards typically ranging from $250,000 to $1,200,000. The performance period will align with the original grant's timeline, and funds will be released on an as-needed basis to the grantee. Recipients must retain all financial records, supporting documents, and statistical records for three years from the final expenditure report submission, with potential extension if any litigation or audit is pending. The place of performance will be within the jurisdiction of the award recipient, such as county, city, or tribal territories. Successful applicants must comply with the current version of the DOJ Financial Grants Management Guide and will be notified of their award status by the end of the fiscal year.
Synopsis
The invited applicant received an official request from OVW to apply for funding to continue specific prior grant award work. The official request included instructions to apply for this Administrative Funding Adjustment (AFA). The applicant will follow guidelines detailed in the original NOFO under which OVW made the prior award, unless otherwise stated in this Invitation to Apply: OVW Fiscal Year 2024 Grants to Improve the Criminal Justice Response (ICJR) Program Solicitation. The scope, purpose, award amount, and performance period of the new award will be the same as the previous one(s).
