Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 11 Tribal Victim Assistance in Alaska Fellowship Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 3000) was a discretionary Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) funding opportunity under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). It was offered as a cooperative agreement and was designed to fund a single fellowship position that would directly support OVCs mission while advancing broader U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) priorities. The program reflects OVCs use of statutory authority to place fellows in roles that help the field develop and use evidence based training, technical assistance, and practical resources, particularly in areas where victim services are hard to deliver and coordination across systems is essential.
The fellowship specifically targeted improvements in victim assistance for Alaska Native people living in rural and remote villages, where geography, weather, transportation barriers, limited infrastructure, and workforce shortages often make it difficult for crime victims to access timely and culturally appropriate services. The selected fellow was expected to support OVC and DOJs Alaska Native Action Team (ANAT) by helping to improve quality of life in these communities through better access to both public and private victim service programs. A central theme of the work was leveraging what already exists across agencies and organizations and making those resources more reachable and usable for victims in remote areas, rather than building services in isolation.
A major emphasis of the fellowship was coordination and communication. The fellow would be positioned to connect key federal, state, tribal, and local partners, along with victim service stakeholders, to strengthen collaboration and reduce gaps in response. This includes facilitating information sharing, aligning efforts across jurisdictions, and helping victim service systems work more smoothly in settings where multiple authorities and service providers may overlap but not always communicate effectively. Because solutions in rural Alaska often depend on strong relationships and trust, the fellowship implicitly required consistent engagement with communities and stakeholders, with an eye toward practical, culturally informed improvements in how victims are identified, referred, served, and supported.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to individuals, underscoring that it was intended as a fellowship for a qualified professional rather than an organizational program grant. The successful applicant was required to live and work in Alaska and bring demonstrated knowledge and experience with Alaska Native cultures and the unique circumstances of village life. This cultural and regional expertise was treated as essential, reflecting the reality that effective victim assistance in Alaska Native communities must be grounded in cultural understanding, respect for local practices, and awareness of the historical and contemporary factors shaping victimization and service access.
The total estimated funding was $175,000, with an award ceiling of $175,000 and no cost sharing or matching requirement. OVC anticipated making one award. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2011, with a creation date of April 5, 2011. The original closing date was May 14, 2011, later extended to May 17, 2011, and it was archived June 13, 2011. For solicitation assistance and programmatic questions, the listed point of contact was Kathleen Gless, Victim Justice Program Specialist at OVC (202 307 6049; kathleen.gless@usdoj.gov).
