Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 10 Victim Assistance Professional Development Fellowship Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2532) was a discretionary competitive funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), offered through a cooperative agreement. The program was designed to place a small group of fellows directly inside OVC in Washington, DC, where they would help advance OVC outreach activities while gaining high-level professional development experience in federal victim services work. In practical terms, this was not a typical pass-through grant to run local services; it was a fellowship model where recipients would work onsite with OVC and contribute to national victim assistance priorities.
OVC anticipated making up to six awards, with a maximum (award ceiling) of $135,000 per fellowship and no minimum award amount listed. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was limited to individuals rather than organizations or government agencies. The funding aligned with the Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants CFDA listing (16.582) and fell within broader activity areas such as income security and social services and law, justice, and legal services. Because the instrument type was a cooperative agreement, recipients could expect ongoing federal involvement and collaboration in how fellowship activities were carried out, rather than operating entirely independently.
The fellowship topics were tailored to specific victim-service domains where OVC sought added expertise and capacity. The solicitation indicated that fellows would focus on areas including victim assistance and compensation systems; work relevant to tribal communities; improving responses to underserved crime victims; developing and supporting evidence-based training and technical assistance; addressing federal and military victim assistance needs; and strengthening approaches to financial fraud and other non-violent crime victimization. Taken together, these focus areas show OVC was looking for fellows who could contribute substantively to policy, practice, training, and outreach efforts, especially in settings and victim populations that historically face barriers to access and effective services.
Administratively, applicants were required to register in the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS) before submitting an application. The opportunity emphasized tight timing: the application deadline was April 27, 2010, with submissions due by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time. A separate registration deadline was also listed for April 27, 2010 at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time, reinforcing that applicants needed to complete system registration steps before the final submission window. The posting date was February 26, 2010, with an archive date of May 27, 2010, and applicants were urged to start early given the registration and submission requirements.
For support, the solicitation provided a point of contact: Meg Morrow, Attorney Advisor, at (202) 305-2986. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement were directed to contact her, and the notice also strongly encouraged prospective applicants to reach out to her before developing an application, suggesting OVC expected applicants to clarify fit, fellowship expectations, and any programmatic questions prior to investing significant effort in proposal development.
