Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity comes from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), specifically the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACYF) and the Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB). It offers a single discretionary award in the form of a cooperative agreement to support the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV). In practice, this means the selected organization will not only receive federal funding, but will also work closely with the federal agency under the cooperative agreement model, where substantial involvement from the government is typically expected in areas like project direction, coordination, and deliverable oversight.
The core purpose of the NRCDV under this announcement is to operate and maintain a national clearinghouse library and resource hub focused on family violence, domestic violence, and dating violence. The center is expected to collect, prepare, analyze, and widely disseminate information, research, and statistics on the incidence of violence, effective interventions, and prevention strategies. A major emphasis is on strengthening the broader field: the NRCDV is meant to support shelters, supportive services, and prevention services for adult and youth victims, including efforts designed to prevent repeated incidents of violence. In other words, the grant is not primarily about running direct services at one location; it is about serving as a national-level backbone organization that helps programs across the country improve practice through credible information, tools, training resources, and field leadership.
This NRCDV award is also framed as part of a larger network of National and Special Issue Resource Centers. These centers collectively provide leadership, specialized expertise, and capacity-building support to existing domestic violence programs and services for survivors and their children. One important administrative detail in the notice is that an earlier, broader funding opportunity announcement (HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0188) that bundled multiple center types together was cancelled, and replaced with four separate FOAs, each soliciting applications for a specific center. The NRCDV opportunity described here is the FOA numbered HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0213. The other three separate center competitions were: HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0210 (Culturally Specific Special Issue Resource Center), HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0211 (National Indian Resource Center Addressing Domestic Violence and Safety for Indian Women), and HHS 2011 ACF ACYF EV 0212 (Special Interest Resource Center). The key takeaway is that applicants needed to apply to the specific FOA aligned with the center they intended to operate, rather than a single combined competition.
Funding details indicate there was one expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $1.5 million. The award ceiling is listed as $1.5 million and the award floor as $1.1 million, which signals the government anticipated a fairly large national-scope project and wanted applicants to propose budgets within that band. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to bring non-federal dollars as a condition of award. The program is listed under CFDA 93.592, Family Violence Prevention and Services/Discretionary, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the grant’s alignment with survivor services infrastructure and public support systems.
Eligibility is limited and specific. To qualify to establish or maintain the NRCDV 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), the applicant must be a private nonprofit organization that focuses primarily on domestic violence and can demonstrate capacity to meet the FVPSA eligibility requirements for the NRCDV. The notice explicitly states that faith-based and community organizations are eligible as long as they meet those requirements. At the same time, certain entities are not eligible: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships may not compete for or receive awards under this announcement. The eligible applicant categories shown include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), plus other eligible entities as clarified in the full FOA text, but the controlling requirement is that the entity must be a private nonprofit primarily focused on domestic violence and able to meet FVPSA Section 310 requirements.
Timing and submission instructions in the notice reflect a fixed application window in 2011. The posted date was May 18, 2011, and the application due date (both original and current closing date) was July 15, 2011. A specific technical reminder is included for electronic submissions: applications submitted via Grants.gov had to be submitted by 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The opportunity was later archived on December 23, 2011, which simply indicates it is no longer open and is maintained for recordkeeping and reference.
For applicants seeking the official, complete requirements and instructions, the announcement points to the full FOA link hosted by ACF and provides a support contact for access issues: the ACF Applications Help Desk at appsupport@acf.hhs.gov. This is relevant because full FOAs typically include the detailed scope of work, expected deliverables, evaluation and reporting requirements, budget rules, and the formal selection criteria used in scoring applications, all of which would shape what a competitive NRCDV proposal needed to include.
