Opportunity Summary:
The BJA FY 11 Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), designed to help states, tribes, and other authorized entities operate or enhance statewide automated systems that notify victims and survivors about important changes in an offender's custody or case status. Guided in part by the general principles found in 42 USC 10603e, the program focuses on victim safety, preventing further harm, and supporting crime victims rights by making sure registered individuals receive timely, accurate updates when an offender's status changes in ways that could affect safety or case participation.
In practical terms, SAVIN funding supports the planning and implementation of automated victim notification programs that can deliver alerts about events such as an offender's release, transfer, escape, court events, or other significant custody or supervision changes. The overall purpose is to reduce the chance that victims are caught off guard by an offender's movement through the justice system, while also strengthening coordination among justice agencies so that information shared with victims is consistent and reliable. The program sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding activity category and is cataloged under CFDA 16.740 (Statewide Automated Victim Information Notification (SAVIN) Program).
The opportunity was posted on January 20, 2011, with an application closing date of March 24, 2011, and an archive date of April 23, 2011. BJA anticipated making about 15 awards under this solicitation. Awards could be as large as $1,000,000 per grant (the listed award ceiling), and the award floor was $0, indicating the solicitation did not set a minimum required request amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a match as a condition of receiving funding.
Eligibility was limited to specific types of agencies and organizations involved in the justice system and victim services infrastructure. Eligible applicants included state, tribal, and local prosecutors offices; law enforcement agencies; courts; jails; and correctional institutions, as well as qualified public or private entities that are formally authorized to manage statewide SAVIN planning and implementation. Federally recognized Indian tribes (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) were also eligible to apply to plan and implement an automated victim notification program. A key requirement was proof that the applicant is the authorized SAVIN program manager for the state: applicants had to reference state legislation that designates the authority responsible for SAVIN management. If no authorizing legislation existed, the application had to include a letter from the Governor, or from a person expressly designated by the Governor, designating the applicant as the approved SAVIN program manager on behalf of the state.
The funding instrument type for this opportunity was a grant, and it was issued under Funding Opportunity Number BJA 2011 2875. The administering agency was the Bureau of Justice Assistance.
