Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 11 American Indian and Alaska Native SANE SART Training and Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 3017) is a discretionary Office for Victims of Crime grant offered through a single cooperative agreement, with an award amount up to $250,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. It sits within the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is funded under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). The solicitation was posted on April 15, 2011, with an application deadline of May 31, 2011, and it was later archived on June 30, 2011. Only one award was expected, meaning the selected recipient would serve as the primary national-level provider of training and technical assistance under this initiative.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to strengthen how sexual assault victims are served in American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities by building and improving Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) and Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) capacity in ways that are sustainable and culturally grounded. The funded organization is expected to support three diverse AI/AN communities in carrying out comprehensive community needs assessments and then using the results to develop strategic plans. Those plans are meant to enhance and expand victim-centered SANE/SART projects that fit each community, including approaches that respect and integrate culture, history, traditions, and spirituality. In addition to helping those three sites with assessment and planning, the project is also tasked with supporting the development and implementation of a broader National AI/AN SANE SART Strategy, so that lessons learned and effective practices can inform a wider, coordinated approach beyond the initial communities.
Eligibility extends to federally recognized tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Even though multiple entity types are eligible to apply, the program description emphasizes that the award will be made to a nonprofit organization and that applicants must demonstrate strong organizational and community-based experience working with AI/AN communities. A key expectation is that the applicant understands why cultural relevance matters in sexual assault response work in Indian Country and Alaska Native communities, and can deliver training and technical assistance in a way that centers victims while honoring community values and context.
Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, the Office for Victims of Crime would typically be more actively involved in project direction and oversight than it would be under a traditional grant structure. Practically, that usually signals a close partnership where OVC and the awardee coordinate on deliverables such as the scope of the needs assessments, the content and format of technical assistance, and the development of the national strategy and related tools.
For application submission help, the solicitation directs applicants to Grants.gov support (1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov). For solicitation requirements or other non-technical questions, the listed point of contact is Kathleen Gless, Victim Justice Program Specialist at OVC (202-307-6049; kathleen.gless@usdoj.gov).
