Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 15 Vision 21 Tribal Victim Services Resource Mapping Project is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), designed to improve access to victim services for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims of crime. OVC planned to make a single cooperative agreement award of up to $2,000,000 to support a national effort to identify, catalogue, and organize information about existing comprehensive victim services available to AI/AN communities. The central idea is to build a user-friendly, state-of-the-art resource mapping and referral tool that helps victims find support more easily, assists victim service providers in expanding and targeting outreach, and gives funders and policymakers a clearer view of where services exist and where significant gaps remain.
The project emphasis is on creating a practical, accessible resource that can be used by multiple audiences: AI/AN victims seeking help, victim service providers trying to connect clients to appropriate services, and the general public and funding entities that need reliable information about service availability. By compiling and presenting a national picture of services, the project aims to strengthen coordination across tribal and non-tribal systems, reflect the wide range of needs experienced by AI/AN victims, and support better decision-making about where additional investment or capacity building is most needed. Because the award was structured as a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the life of the project, rather than a hands-off grant relationship.
Eligibility was intentionally broad but still targeted to entities capable of carrying out a complex national mapping effort. Eligible applicants included tribal governments and public agencies, tribal institutions of higher education (including colleges and universities), and tribal or non-tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations. For-profit applicants were allowed only if they agreed to forgo profit or management fees. Applicants were expected to demonstrate experience working with key tribal and non-tribal stakeholders, collecting comprehensive victim services information, and building a national-scale mapping and referral resource. Just as important, applicants needed to show they could develop and use technology platforms to distribute information effectively to the field, since the end product was intended to be a modern, widely accessible tool rather than a static report.
OVC also encouraged collaborative applications involving two or more entities, with the condition that one eligible organization serve as the lead applicant and take primary responsibility for administering the funds and managing the full project. Partners could be included as subrecipients, and while only one application per lead applicant would be considered, subrecipients were allowed to participate across multiple submissions. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowered barriers for organizations that might otherwise struggle to contribute non-federal funds.
Key administrative details included the funding opportunity number OVC-2015-4282 and CFDA number 16.826 (Vision 21). The opportunity was posted May 19, 2015, with an application deadline of July 2, 2015, and an archive date of August 1, 2015. OVC anticipated one award, with an award ceiling equal to the full $2,000,000 and no stated award floor. The funding activity category was listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the victim-services and support-oriented nature of the work rather than law enforcement operations.
To help prospective applicants understand requirements and strengthen submissions, OVC scheduled two optional pre-application conference calls with a solicitation overview and Q&A. These calls were held Friday, June 5, 2015 (3:00-4:00 p.m. Eastern) and Thursday, June 11, 2015 (2:30-3:30 p.m. Eastern). Participation was capped at 80 individuals per call, and registration had to be submitted at least two hours before the call start time. Interested participants were directed to register through Bethany Case (Bethany.Case@usdoj.gov, 202-307-3336), using the email subject line "Tribal Victim Services Resource Mapping Project Registration for Pre Application Conference Call." OVC also committed to posting frequently asked questions and questions raised during the calls on its website at www.ovc.gov/news/tribalmappingprojectfaq.html, giving applicants a shared reference point for clarifications and updates.
