Opportunity Summary:
The Family Violence Prevention and Services Discretionary Grants opportunity titled "National and Special Issue Resource Centers - National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (NRCDV)" is a federal funding competition run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), under the Family Violence Prevention and Services (FVPS) Program. The government’s goal is to fund one organization to operate a nationwide resource center that strengthens domestic violence and dating violence prevention and intervention efforts across the country, with a particular focus on improving how programs and systems serve adult and youth survivors.
This award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency anticipates an active partnership with the recipient rather than a hands-off grant. The selected NRCDV will serve as a national hub of information and support for the domestic violence field. A central responsibility is maintaining a clearinghouse library that collects, organizes, prepares, analyzes, and shares information and statistics related to the incidence of domestic violence and dating violence, as well as what is known about effective intervention and prevention strategies. In practical terms, the clearinghouse function is meant to make it easier for service providers, policymakers, researchers, and advocates to access credible data, tools, and evidence-informed resources that can improve services and outcomes.
Beyond information management, the NRCDV is expected to deliver national training and technical assistance. This assistance is aimed at strengthening domestic violence program service delivery and day-to-day operations, supporting policy development and implementation, advancing research and its translation into practice, and helping social service systems improve how they respond to survivors. The opportunity also emphasizes community outreach, intervention programming, and primary prevention, reflecting an expectation that the center will help the field not only respond to violence after it occurs but also reduce the likelihood of first-time and repeated incidents. The description explicitly connects this work to shelter, supportive services, and prevention services for both adult and youth victims, including efforts that prevent revictimization.
The NRCDV is not meant to operate in isolation. It is positioned as part of a broader national network of National, Special Issue, and Culturally Specific Resource Centers that provide leadership and support to programs serving victims of domestic violence and their children. The posting highlights that three related funding competitions were also available at the time: a Culturally-Specific Special Issue Resource Center (CSSIRC), a National Indian Resource Center addressing domestic violence and safety for Indian women (NIRC), and a Special Issue Resource Center (SIRC). Together, these centers are intended to cover complementary areas of expertise and ensure that technical assistance and resources reach diverse communities and address specialized needs.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2016-ACF-ACYF-EV-1173 and CFDA number 93.592, with the activity category listed as Income Security and Social Services. The program anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of $1,800,000. Eligible applicants were limited to Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments) and nonprofit organizations, including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted on April 15, 2016, and had a closing date of June 14, 2016.
