Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, issued by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), sought a single evaluator to study both how and how well the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative was carried out. The core purpose was to produce a rigorous research and evaluation effort focused on implementation and outcomes, helping the field understand what it takes to put domestic violence homicide reduction and prevention models into practice and whether those models show measurable results once implemented. OVW planned to support up to six demonstration sites to move into full implementation of homicide reduction and prevention approaches, and NIJ was looking for one project to evaluate that initiative across sites.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant in the category of research and evaluation under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $1,000,000. The award ceiling was $1,000,000 and the award floor was listed as $0, indicating NIJ retained flexibility in the final funding decision based on the scope and merit of the proposed evaluation. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to commit non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning proposals were open to any type of entity (such as universities, research organizations, nonprofits, private firms, or public agencies), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation document. The solicitation referenced a separate OVW document describing the demonstration initiative and its expectations for sites, which would be central to shaping the evaluator's proposed design, measures, data sources, and cross-site comparison strategy.
Key dates framed the application window: the opportunity was posted and created on April 9, 2013, with an original and final closing date of June 8, 2013, and it was later archived on October 31, 2013. Applicants were directed to submit through Grants.gov, with the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline provided for technical submission issues. For programmatic or solicitation requirement questions, NIJ listed a primary point of contact: Bethany Backes, Social Science Analyst, reachable by phone (202-304-4419) or email (Bethany.Backes@usdoj.gov).
In practical terms, the opportunity was designed to fund an evaluation that could capture two main dimensions: first, implementation, meaning how the demonstration sites built, coordinated, and delivered their homicide prevention strategies (including barriers, facilitators, fidelity to the model, and cross-agency collaboration); and second, outcomes, meaning what changes occurred that could plausibly be associated with the initiative (for example, indicators related to domestic violence lethality risk identification, protective interventions, system response improvements, and ultimately reductions in domestic violence homicides or near-lethal incidents, depending on data availability and study design). The intended end product was actionable evidence for OVW, NIJ, and practitioners on the real-world performance of domestic violence homicide prevention approaches and the conditions under which they are most likely to succeed.

11. What was the main purpose of the funded project?
The main purpose was to produce a rigorous research and evaluation effort that examined both implementation (how the initiative was carried out) and outcomes (how well it worked), helping the field understand what is required to implement domestic violence homicide reduction and prevention models and whether measurable results are observed once implemented.
12. What does “a single evaluator†mean in this context?
NIJ sought one project (one award) to serve as the evaluator across OVW’s demonstration initiative, rather than funding separate evaluations for each demonstration site.
13. How many demonstration sites were expected to be involved?
OVW planned to support up to six demonstration sites moving into full implementation of homicide reduction and prevention approaches. The NIJ-funded evaluator was expected to evaluate the initiative across those sites.
14. What were the two major dimensions the evaluation was intended to measure?
The evaluation was designed to capture (1) implementation and (2) outcomes.
15. What kinds of implementation questions was the evaluation expected to address?
Implementation evaluation was framed around how demonstration sites built, coordinated, and delivered homicide prevention strategies, including barriers and facilitators, fidelity to the intended model, and the role of cross-agency collaboration.
16. What kinds of outcomes was the evaluation expected to examine?
Outcome evaluation was described as examining what changes occurred that could plausibly be associated with the initiative. Examples mentioned included indicators related to domestic violence lethality risk identification, protective interventions, system response improvements, and potentially reductions in domestic violence homicides or near-lethal incidents (depending on data availability and study design).
17. Did the solicitation specify the exact outcome measures or study design?
The description emphasizes that the evaluator’s proposed design, measures, data sources, and cross-site comparison strategy would be shaped by the OVW demonstration initiative expectations and by data availability. Specific measures and designs were not fully detailed in the summary provided.
18. Why was a cross-site evaluation important?
The opportunity was intended to generate actionable evidence across multiple demonstration sites, supporting cross-site comparison and helping OVW, NIJ, and practitioners understand how these models perform in real-world settings and under what conditions they are most likely to succeed.
19. What other documents were referenced as important for applicants?
The solicitation referenced a separate OVW document describing the demonstration initiative and expectations for sites. That document was described as central for shaping the evaluator’s approach.

The intended end product was actionable evidence for OVW, NIJ, and practitioners about both the implementation of domestic violence homicide prevention approaches and their real-world outcomes, including the conditions under which they are most likely to succeed.
27. Was this opportunity focused on service delivery or on research?
This opportunity was explicitly framed as research and evaluation: funding an evaluator to study implementation and outcomes of OVW’s demonstration initiative.
28. What does “discretionary grant†imply here?
Based on the description, NIJ had discretion in selecting the proposal to fund and in determining the final award amount (within stated limits) based on the proposed evaluation scope and merit.
29. Did the summary indicate whether domestic violence homicide reduction must be measured directly?
The summary notes that outcome evaluation could include reductions in domestic violence homicides or near-lethal incidents, depending on data availability and study design. That implies direct homicide reduction could be examined where feasible, but measurement choices would depend on the evaluator’s design and available data.
30. What kinds of system changes were mentioned as potentially relevant outcomes?
Examples included improvements in lethality risk identification, protective interventions, and system response improvements (such as changes that might occur through coordinated approaches), with ultimate impacts potentially reflected in reduced homicides or near-lethal incidents.
