Opportunity Summary:
The FY09 Health Care Provider Response to Violence Against Women: Education, Training and Technical Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number WH AST 09 001) is a discretionary federal grant announced by the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health through the Office on Womens Health (OWH). The purpose is to strengthen how the health care system identifies and responds to domestic violence and abuse affecting women and girls, with an emphasis on improving the health care team response through education, training, and technical assistance. The opportunity is framed around OWHs broader mission of advancing health equity for women and girls using sex and gender specific approaches, and it aligns with long-standing federal public health priorities that treat violence prevention as a major national health objective under Healthy People 2010, with expectations that it would continue as a priority area under Healthy People 2020.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not a competitive, open request for applications. Instead, the document states that assistance will be provided only to a specific organization, the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF), upon receipt of a satisfactory application. In practice, that means the federal government intended to fund a single, identified recipient to carry out the work, rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants. The justification described in the notice is based on preliminary collaborative work involving the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the Family Violence Services Act (FVPSA) programs, including the FVPSA National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence, which is a project of FVPF. That prior work reportedly underscored the need for stronger collaboration between health care and domestic violence prevention and treatment systems, and the notice suggests OWH viewed FVPF as having the specialized expertise and national capacity needed to deliver the technical assistance and training at the scale required.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement or partnership from the federal agency during the project period, rather than a more hands-off relationship that is common with standard grants. The activity category is health, and the program is associated with CFDA 93.088 (Advancing System Improvements for Key Issues in Womens Health). The announcement anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,500,000. Both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $1,500,000, reinforcing that a single fixed-size award was planned. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on August 3, 2009, created on August 21, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of August 24, 2009, with an archive date of September 23, 2009. The eligible applicant category is effectively restricted, even though the listing uses a general label (Others), because the eligibility narrative makes clear that only FVPF would receive assistance under this announcement. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact route provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov) during weekday business hours.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted federal investment meant to build and spread practical capacity across health care settings to respond appropriately to violence against women, using a national domestic violence organization (FVPF) as the delivery vehicle for education, training, and technical assistance, and positioning that work within larger HHS prevention goals and womens health equity priorities.
