About this opportunity
The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking qualified organizations to provide training and technical assistance (TTA) to State Administering Agencies (SAAs) implementing the Sexual Assault Services Program (SASP) and ServicesTrainingOfficers*Prosecutors (STOP) Formula Grant Program. The primary objective is to enhance SAA capacity to administer formula funds supporting communities, including American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages, in developing effective responses to VAWA crimes while ensuring subrecipient compliance with statutory requirements. Eligible applicants include 501(c)(3) nonprofits, non-501(c)(3) nonprofits, tribal organizations (including non-federally recognized), and other qualifying entities. The initiative will be evaluated based on criteria 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 March 3, 2026, with notifications expected by the end of the fiscal year.
Federal award values typically range from $250,000 to $2,200,000 with project periods spanning 12 to 36 months, though specific budget details for this funding cycle will be confirmed in the NOFO. TTA services will be delivered on a nationwide scope, supporting multiple states and territories through educational initiatives, conferences, peer-to-peer consultations, and targeted assistance. Recipients must maintain financial records and supporting documentation for three years from the final expenditure report submission and comply with the DOJ Financial Grants Management Guide, with renewals considered on a case-by-case basis.
