About this program
The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs operates Vision 21 (CFDA 16.826), a program that funds state crime victim compensation systems, tribal victim services infrastructure, and direct victim assistance initiatives, with the most recent grant awards dating to October 2015.
Program activity has stalled since 2015. The portfolio comprises 28 Cooperative Agreements totaling $3.7 million in federal obligations, awarded across 2014 and 2015 (16 awards in 2014, 12 in 2015). No grant awards have been made in the past eleven years. Recent solicitations posted in mid-2015 sought applications through June and July 2015 deadlines, but no evidence of subsequent funding cycles appears in the source.
The program funds technology infrastructure and data systems for state victim compensation programs, tribal community wellness centers serving crime victims, and victim services resource mapping. Recent awards demonstrate this mix: Vermont received $144,250 to develop a computerized crime victim compensation system; Montana received $197,816 for state technology capacity building; the Tulalip Tribes of Washington received $496,281 for a tribal community wellness center; and New Mexico received $250,000 for a victim compensation and grants management system. The program also supported data warehouse and case management projects across multiple states, as well as telemedicine psychiatric services and automated victim notification systems.
All awards in the portfolio took the form of Cooperative Agreements. Funding concentrated in the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Victims of Crime division ($1.9 million across 8 awards) and the broader Office of Justice Programs ($1.7 million across 19 awards). Award magnitudes ranged from zero-obligation arrangements to $496,281, with most state technology grants falling in the $60,000–$250,000 range.
The most recent open solicitations, posted in May 2015, sought state applicants for technology capacity building (multiple awards up to $60,000 each, approximately $2 million total) and a single tribal victim services resource mapping project (up to $2 million). No current grant opportunities are evident in the source, and the decade-long gap in award activity suggests the program may be inactive or under review.
Objective and description
- Objective
There are several objectives related to Vision 21. These include: (1) Tribal assistance for victims of violence; (2) Funding and enhancing the provision of direct victim services; and (3) Providing funding to the States to address victims' multiple legal issues through a broad and coordinated community network of "wraparound" pro bono legal services and to help jurisdictions build their technological infrastructure in order to improve provision of services to victims of crime.
Eligibility
- Credentials and documentation
Regarding the question below relating to the applicability of 2 CFR 200, Subpart E - Cost Principles: The cost principles are generally applicable, except with respect to for-profit entities or to organizations listed at Appendix VIII to 2 CFR Part 200.
- Uses of assistance
Vision 21 is a strategic planning initiative based on an 18-month national assessment by OVC that systematically engaged the crime victim advocacy field and other stakeholder groups in assessing current and emerging challenges-and opportunities-facing the field. The initiative is designed to address identified needs including the need for more victim-related data, research and program evaluation; holistic legal assistance for crime victims; resources for tribal victims; and capacity building to provide technology- and evidence-based training and technical assistance. OVC will undertake several initiatives related to Vision 21. These include: (1) Tribal assistance for victims of violence; (2) Funding and enhancing the provision of direct victim services; and (3) Providing funding to the States to address victims' multiple legal issues through a broad and coordinated community network of "wraparound" pro bono legal services and to help jurisdictions build their technological infrastructure in order to improve provision of services to victims of crime. Grantees will need to address one of these initiatives.
- Length and time phasing of assistance
Award periods for Office of Justice programs generally range from 12 to 36 months. For specifics pertaining to this program, please see the current fiscal year's program solicitation available at the Office of Justice Programs web site (http://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/CurrentFundingOpportunities.htm). For additional information, see the Department of Justice Grants Financial Guide section on "Period of Availability of Funds" at http://ojp.gov/financialguide/DOJ/PostawardRequirements/chapter3.2a.htm.
How to apply
- Preapplication coordination

- Criteria for selecting proposals
Peer Review. See the current fiscal years' program solicitation available at the Office of Justice Programs web site at http://ojp.gov/funding/Explore/CurrentFundingOpportunities.htm.
- Award procedure
OJP is committed to ensuring a fair and open process for awarding grants. OVC reviews the application to make sure that the information presented is reasonable, understandable, measurable, and achievable, as well as consistent with the solicitation. Peer reviewers will review the applications submitted under this solicitation that meet basic minimum requirements. OVC may use internal peer reviewers, external peer reviewers, or a combination, to review the applications. An external peer reviewer is an expert in the subject matter of a given solicitation who is NOT a current DOJ employee. An internal reviewer is a current DOJ employee who is well-versed or has expertise in the subject matter of this solicitation. A peer review panel will evaluate, score, and rate applications that meet basic minimum requirements. Peer reviewers' ratings and any resulting recommendations are advisory only. In addition to peer review ratings, considerations for award recommendations and decisions may include, but are not limited to, underserved populations, geographic diversity, strategic priorities, past performance, and available funding. The Office of the Chief Financial Officer, in consultation with OVC, reviews applications for potential discretionary awards to evaluate the fiscal integrity and financial capability of applicants, examines proposed costs to determine if the Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative accurately explain project costs, and determines whether costs are reasonable, necessary, and allowable under applicable federal cost principles and agency regulations. Absent explicit statutory authorization or written delegation of authority to the contrary, all final award decisions will be made by the Assistant Attorney General, who may consider factors including, but not limited to, underserved populations, geographic diversity, strategic priorities, past performance, and available funding when making awards.
- Renewals
Some solicitations will have the potential for non-competitive supplemental funding based on performance and availability of appropriations, which will involve re-application for each eligible year for invited grantees.
- Appeals
For statutory formula awards, see 28 C.F.R. Part 18. There are no appeal rights for rejection of a discretionary application, but for discretionary awards, see 28 C.F.R. Part 18.
