Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 09 SART Conference 2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2009 2179) was a discretionary, competitive cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Its purpose was to select a single grantee to plan and carry out the 2011 National SART Training Conference, a large national event focused on strengthening Sexual Assault Response Teams (SARTs) through coordinated, multidisciplinary training. The program emphasized sharing current, practical, and evidence-informed knowledge with a broad mix of professionals who work sexual assault cases and services, with an expected audience of about 1,000 SART-related participants, including expert trainers and scholarship recipients.
The total estimated funding for the award was $500,000, with an award ceiling of $500,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. Only one award was expected. A key component of the budget was scholarship support: the grantee was required to administer $150,000 in scholarship funds to help up to 25 SARTs attend the conference. These scholarships were intended for teams that met the scholarship criteria, could show financial need, and were willing to send a full multidisciplinary group of four to five team members representing different SART disciplines. In practice, that structure is designed to ensure the training benefits whole community teams rather than isolated individuals, helping participants return home with shared strategies and a coordinated plan for improving local response.
Because the funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, the selected applicant would not operate independently. Instead, the grantee was expected to work closely with OVC in planning and delivering the conference, coordinating and consulting with OVC on major aspects of conference development. This typically includes collaboration on conference scope and content, selection of topics and presenters, scholarship policies and administration, outreach and communications, and other core decisions that shape the overall quality and consistency of the national training event.
Eligibility was broad and included public agencies and a range of nonprofit and governmental entities. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), private and public institutions of higher education, state governments, city or township governments, county governments, and Native American tribal governments (including federally recognized tribal governments) and tribal organizations. The opportunity fell under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and was categorized within Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, reflecting its role in improving coordinated victim services and criminal justice responses.
The solicitation was posted April 1, 2009, with an application closing date of May 14, 2009, and it was later archived on June 13, 2009. For applicant support at the time, the announcement provided an OVC program contact (Olivia Schramm at Olivia.Schramm@usdoj.gov) for solicitation requirements and the Grants Management System (GMS) Support Hotline (1 888 549 9901, option 3; Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern) for technical assistance with submission issues.
