Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 12 National Field Generated Demonstration Projects opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2012 3230) is a discretionary, cooperative-agreement grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding category. OVC plans to make two awards, each up to $750,000, for an estimated total of $1,500,000 in funding. The purpose is to strengthen the crime victims field by expanding the availability and quality of trauma-informed, culturally competent, and comprehensive services for victims who have experienced polyvictimization, meaning exposure to multiple forms of victimization (sometimes referred to as multiple or multi-victimization). The program explicitly targets both adult and child victims, recognizing that people who experience repeated or different types of victimization often have complex, overlapping needs that cannot be adequately addressed by a single agency or a narrow service model.
Applicants are expected to propose an enhanced or improved approach to serving polyvictimized victims through the implementation or continuation of a demonstration project built from a promising practice, model, or program. In practical terms, OVC is looking for applicants that can take something that shows evidence of effectiveness or strong potential and then test, strengthen, expand, or refine it in real-world settings. The emphasis on “demonstration” signals that OVC wants projects that do more than deliver services; they should also help the broader field learn what works, for whom, and under what conditions, particularly when service systems must coordinate across sectors such as victim advocacy, child welfare, healthcare, mental health, schools, housing, law enforcement, prosecution, and community-based supports.
Eligibility is broad but focused on organizations capable of delivering coordinated victim services. Eligible applicants include public agencies (such as state, county, city, township, and certain school district entities), federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, private nonprofit organizations (including tribal nonprofits), faith- and community-based organizations, and colleges or universities (including tribal institutions of higher education). A notable feature is that a private nonprofit organization does not need to have 501(c)(3) status to apply under this solicitation. Regardless of organizational type, applicants must be able to demonstrate three core qualifications: a clear knowledge and understanding of polyvictimization; the ability to partner with other organizations and key stakeholders to deliver comprehensive services; and sufficient staff capacity and expertise to develop or enhance a service delivery model aimed at polyvictimized victims.
The program does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers for organizations that may have limited ability to contribute non-federal resources. Key dates for the solicitation include a posted and creation date of March 8, 2012, and an application deadline of May 15, 2012 (with the same date listed as the original and current closing date). The opportunity was archived on June 14, 2012. Applicants were strongly encouraged to start the application process early due to the time and technical demands commonly associated with federal submissions.
For application and submission support, technical help was directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (1-800-518-4726, or 606-545-5035 for applicants outside the United States) and support@grants.gov. For solicitation-specific questions and other requirements, OVC provided a program contact: Sharron Chapman, Lead Victim Justice Program Specialist, at 202-305-2358. Overall, this opportunity is designed to fund two sizable, field-generated demonstration efforts that improve coordinated, culturally competent, trauma-informed responses for victims facing the compounded effects of multiple victimizations, while also producing a stronger, more replicable service model for use across jurisdictions and communities.
