OVW FY 2024 Restorative Practices Pilot Program Evaluation

This Federal Grant Opportunity is for the OVW FY 2024 Restorative Practices Pilot Program Evaluation, which is authorized under 34 U.S.C. 12514. The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is seeking applications to conduct research and evaluation on restorative practices in collaboration with pilot sites and training and technical assistance (TTA) providers. The evaluation will need to align with OVW's methodological principles and demonstrate the required capacities and competencies. Applicants must submit detailed plans for OVW's approval before different phases of the project can proceed, as the pilot sites have not yet been identified. The application deadline is June 11, 2024.

OVW anticipates investing approximately $8 million in RPPP Evaluation efforts to answer some but not all of the research questions through this solicitation. OVW expects to issue one award under this solicitation to support various research projects that will generate knowledge for practitioners, policymakers, and the public on developing, implementing, and using restorative practices to address domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking.
