Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 14 Vision 21 Building State Technology Capacity grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2014 3855) was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), designed to help states modernize and strengthen the technology used to administer victim services funded under the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). Offered as a cooperative agreement (rather than a simple pass-through grant), it signaled that OVC expected active involvement in guiding or coordinating aspects of the work, with the overall purpose of improving how VOCA State Administering Agencies use technology to serve victims and manage their programs.
The program targeted VOCA Formula State Administering Agencies within state governments as the eligible applicants. The focus was on identifying and implementing technology improvements that could do one or more of the following: enhance existing systems already in use by the state; develop new systems that expand access to technology; increase victims access to resources (for example, by making information, referrals, or services easier to locate and use); and improve the accuracy and quality of administrative reporting. In practical terms, the opportunity centered on building stronger statewide capacity through updated platforms, better data and reporting processes, improved user access, and more efficient program administration tied to victim service delivery.
OVC projected total funding of approximately $2,250,000 and anticipated making around 20 awards. Individual awards were expected to range from $25,000 (the award floor) up to $250,000 (the award ceiling). Award amounts were intended to reflect the applicant state’s funding justification and overall need, including factors such as the population of the state, results of needs assessment or strategic planning efforts, and the scope, complexity, and breadth of the proposed technology enhancement. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which reduced barriers for states proposing meaningful upgrades.
The funding was categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and listed under CFDA number 16.826 (Vision 21). The solicitation was posted on March 31, 2014, and carried an application deadline of May 15, 2014, with applicants explicitly encouraged to begin work well in advance of the closing date due to the planning and documentation typically needed for technology-focused proposals. The opportunity later moved into archive status on June 14, 2014.
For assistance with accessing the full announcement or resolving issues related to the solicitation, the listed point of contact was Joel Hall, Victim Justice Program Specialist, reachable by phone at 202 307 3940.
