Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 16 Fellowship Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is built around OVCs Vision 21 initiative, particularly the Vision 21 Transforming Victim Services Final Report released in May 2013. Vision 21 was described as the first broad, field-wide assessment of victim services in nearly 15 years, and the fellowship program is meant to move that agenda forward by helping improve how victim services are planned, delivered, and strengthened nationwide.
This solicitation offers cooperative agreements to individuals who will work in close collaboration with OVC. The focus is not just on funding a stand-alone project, but on supporting work that directly advances OVC priorities through training and technical assistance, capacity building, assessment activities, or strategic planning. The overall intent is to enhance and transform services for victims of crime, expand reach to more victims, and address persistent gaps in the victim services field.
Applicants must propose work that aligns with one of the purpose areas identified by OVC. These purpose areas cover a range of victim service needs and system challenges, including strengthening Human Trafficking Task Forces, improving survivor-informed services for human trafficking, enhancing preparedness and response related to mass violence and terrorism, and advancing post-conviction victim services. Additional areas include improving services for underserved victims of sexual assault, strengthening victim services within law enforcement and prosecution settings, expanding and improving services for male victims, and developing or promoting model standards for victim assistance. The solicitation also includes a purpose area focused on child sexual exploitation, reflecting an emphasis on targeted responses to complex and high-harm crimes.
The program is structured with an award ceiling of $150,000 per fellowship, and OVC anticipated making 9 awards under this announcement. The funding opportunity number is OVC 2016 9420, and the associated CFDA number is 16.582. The application window closed on July 11, 2016, with the opportunity posted and created on June 1, 2016. In practical terms, the program is designed to bring individual subject-matter expertise into OVC-supported work, using a cooperative agreement structure that implies active federal involvement and coordination as the fellow helps develop, assess, or strengthen victim services in one of the specified priority areas.
