Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 09 Evaluation of OVC FY09 Services for Domestic Minor Victims of Human Trafficking grant opportunity was a National Institute of Justice (NIJ) research and evaluation solicitation under the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. NIJ, as DOJ's research, development, and evaluation arm, sought proposals that would produce independent, evidence-based findings to help guide policy and practice in the justice and victim services fields. In this specific competition, NIJ was not funding direct services; it was funding an evaluation designed to generate practical knowledge about how certain federally supported anti-trafficking service models work in real-world settings.
The core purpose of the award was to support a participatory process evaluation of two demonstration programs that were to be funded separately by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) through a concurrent FY09 solicitation. Those two OVC demonstration sites would be selected because they appeared to use promising strategies for delivering a comprehensive set of services to child victims of human trafficking. The population of interest was narrowly defined: victims under age 18 who are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents, often described in this context as domestic minor victims. The evaluation was meant to look closely at how the selected programs were implemented, how services were coordinated and delivered, what operational challenges arose, and what practices seemed most useful for reaching and supporting these youth.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant competition (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2009 2243) categorized as research and evaluation under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ anticipated making a single award. The notice listed no cost sharing or matching requirement. While award floor and ceiling amounts were shown as 0 in the source data, that typically indicates the dollar figures were not specified in that summary record rather than that funding was unavailable. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity could apply as long as it met any additional eligibility conditions described in the full solicitation.
The timeline for the opportunity was straightforward: it was posted on June 12, 2009, with an application deadline of July 27, 2009, and it was later archived on October 27, 2009. Applications had to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS), and applicants were expected to complete GMS registration before submission. Technical help for the online submission process was routed through the GMS Support Hotline, while programmatic questions about the NIJ evaluation solicitation were directed to NIJ staff, specifically Karen Bachar, NIJ Social Science Analyst. Because the evaluation was tied to the separate OVC demonstration program competition, questions about the OVC service grants themselves were directed to Mary Atlas Terry at OVC.
In practical terms, a strong proposal for this opportunity would have focused on designing a rigorous process evaluation that could capture implementation details across two different service models, incorporate input from practitioners and stakeholders (the participatory element), and produce findings that are credible and actionable for agencies serving trafficked minors. The expected value to NIJ and OJP was not just documenting activities, but identifying strategies, barriers, and lessons learned that could inform future programming and improve outcomes for domestic minor victims of human trafficking.
