About this program
The Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women administers the Violence Against Women Act Court Training and Improvement Grants (CFDA 16.013), with the most recent grant awards made on October 1, 2013—nearly thirteen years ago. The program has not issued any grant opportunities since 2013; the most recent solicitation, OVW-2013-3391 for the Domestic Violence Mentor Court Initiative, closed on December 7, 2012. This program is effectively inactive and not worth pursuing at this time.
When active, the program funded court-based initiatives designed to improve judicial and court personnel responses to adult and youth domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Recent awards supported domestic violence court creation and enhancement projects, judicial training curricula, victim safety initiatives, and specialized court operations across county and state court systems. The Ada County Domestic Violence Court received $120 thousand in 2013 for a mentor court initiative; the Seventh Judicial District in California received $300 thousand in 2013 for court implementation and enhancement; and the State of Delaware received $281 thousand in 2012 for a victim advocacy and safety enhancement project.
The program obligated $11.3 million across 61 awards issued between 2010 and 2013. Funding concentrated heavily in the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women, which issued 43 awards totaling $8.5 million. The Office of Justice Programs contributed 8 awards worth $1.4 million, with smaller shares distributed across related DOJ sub-units. Awards were split between Project Grants (61 percent) and Cooperative Agreements (39 percent), with individual awards typically ranging from $50 thousand to $450 thousand. The program showed declining activity in its final years: 22 awards in 2010, 11 in 2011, 7 in 2012, and 21 in 2013. Eligible applicants included state, tribal, territorial, and local courts or court-based programs.
