Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 12 American Indian/Alaska Native Training and Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants). OVC planned to make a single award through a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient would work in close coordination with OVC rather than operating entirely independently. The purpose of the award is to strengthen the capacity of American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal communities to deliver comprehensive, culturally appropriate services for crime victims, as well as support services for victims families and the broader community. The program emphasizes a victim-centered approach, focusing on safety, respect, and responsiveness to the needs and choices of victims.
The funding was set at up to $750,000 total, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, which reduces the financial barrier for eligible organizations that may not have significant non-federal resources to contribute. The opportunity was posted on March 6, 2012, with an application deadline of May 8, 2012, and it was later archived on June 7, 2012.
At the heart of this cooperative agreement is training and technical assistance (TTA). The recipient would be expected to provide resources, coordination, and practical support that helps AI/AN communities build and improve victim services. A key part of the work is assisting OVC in meeting the training and technical assistance needs of tribal communities that receive funding through the Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS), specifically Purpose Area 7 (Childrens Justice Act Partnerships for Indian Communities) and Purpose Area 8 (Comprehensive Tribal Victim Assistance Program). In addition to CTAS-funded grantees, the program also targets other AI/AN communities, reflecting a broader goal of expanding access to effective victim service knowledge and infrastructure beyond only those currently holding OVC awards.
Eligibility was limited to organizations with demonstrated experience working with AI/AN communities. Specifically, eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community-based organizations), institutions of higher education, and consortiums with proven organizational and community-based experience in AI/AN settings. The eligibility language also clarified that tribal nonprofit organizations and public agencies could apply, including tribal colleges and universities and tribal consortiums. This structure signals OVCs intent to fund an entity that not only understands victim services, but also understands how to work appropriately and effectively in tribal contexts, where culture, sovereignty, community relationships, and local systems play a major role in whether services are trusted and used.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was administered by OVC under the broader activity areas of Income Security and Social Services and Law, Justice and Legal Services. Applicants were expected to apply through Grants.gov, with technical submission support available via the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline and support email. For solicitation-specific questions and programmatic issues, OVC identified a point of contact: Chris Holloway, Lead Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-305-9838.
