Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 14 Victim Assistance Professional Development Program Vision 21 Legal Assistance Fellowship (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2014 3832) was a competitive discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It offered a single cooperative agreement fellowship designed to advance work tied to the Vision 21 Transforming Victim Services Final Report, specifically focusing on improving and expanding free legal assistance for victims of crime. The fellowship was positioned as a professional development and capacity-building role, intended to help translate Vision 21 recommendations into practical, evidence-based resources that victim service organizations and legal assistance providers can use.
Funding was capped at 140,000 total for one award, with an award ceiling of 140,000 and no required cost sharing or matching. The award instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the fellow would not simply receive funds and operate independently; instead, the work would be carried out with substantial involvement from OVC, typically including ongoing coordination, shared planning, and alignment with OVC priorities around training, technical assistance, and model development. The program fell under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and was associated with CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants).
Eligibility was limited to individuals, and the solicitation was open only to attorneys, reflecting the legal-assistance emphasis and the expectation that the fellow would bring professional legal expertise to the role. The fellow's responsibilities were broadly described as working across a range of issues connected to strengthening the field's capacity to provide no-cost legal help to crime victims. This included supporting OVC efforts to develop evidence-based training and technical assistance and contributing to the creation or refinement of program models and promising practices that improve organizational readiness, staff skills, service quality, and overall access to legal remedies and protections for victims.
