Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically through the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), funds one National Indian Resource Center Addressing Domestic Violence and Safety for Indian Women (NIRC). It is offered under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants program (CFDA 93.592) and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project period. The stated purpose is to strengthen how Indian Tribes and tribal organizations prevent and respond to family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence, with a clear emphasis on improving the safety of Indian women.
The core work of the NIRC is to deliver a broad, national-level package of training and technical assistance that Tribal communities and Tribal-serving organizations can actually use to build capacity. In practical terms, that includes helping Tribes and tribal organizations improve prevention strategies, strengthen victim services, expand and professionalize responses to domestic and dating violence, and support systems that are tribally based and culturally informed. The NIRC is also expected to align its programming with the findings described in Section 901 of the Violence Against Women and Department of Justice Reauthorization Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-162, 42 U.S.C. 3796gg), which highlights the seriousness and distinct nature of violence against Indian women and the need for effective, targeted responses. The NIRC is positioned as part of a national network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers that collectively provide leadership, guidance, and support to existing domestic violence programs serving victims and their children.
This announcement also clarifies an administrative change: an earlier, combined funding opportunity announcement (HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0188) that previously covered multiple resource centers was cancelled and replaced by four separate FOAs, each soliciting applications for a distinct center type. The NIRC opportunity is its own standalone FOA under Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0211, separate from the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV), the Culturally Specific Special Issue Resource Center (CSIRC), and the Special Interest Resource Center (SIRC). The posting notes the announcement was modified to correct a discrepancy in the application due date, with the correct closing date listed as July 15, 2011, and an important submission rule that electronic applications via Grants.gov must be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
Funding is substantial but limited to a single award. The estimated total funding is $1,500,000, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 and an award floor of $1,100,000. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduces barriers for eligible applicants that may not have unrestricted resources to contribute.
Eligibility is narrowly tailored to ensure the award goes to an organization with deep, relevant experience. To qualify under Section 310 of the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA), as amended by the CAPTA Reauthorization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-320), an applicant must be either a tribal organization or a private nonprofit organization that focuses on domestic violence within Indian Tribes and has demonstrated experience working with Indian Tribes and tribal organizations on domestic violence responses. The applicant must also have experience providing Tribes and tribal organizations with assistance related to tribally based domestic violence and dating violence prevention and intervention services that address the safety of Indian women. The eligible applicant types listed include Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments), 501(c)(3) nonprofits (excluding institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), as long as they meet the program-specific eligibility requirements. Faith-based and community organizations may apply if they meet the same eligibility standards. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly ineligible.
Administratively, the opportunity falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services, was posted May 18, 2011, and was later archived December 23, 2011. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov.
