Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "OVC FY 16 Vision 21: Training and Resources to Better Respond to Victims of Cyberviolence" is a discretionary, competitive funding solicitation from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (USDOJ-OJP-OVC). Issued under Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2016 9288 and associated with CFDA 16.582, it is designed to support a single national-scope initiative focused on improving how the justice system and allied professionals respond to victims harmed through cyberviolence. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency is expected to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the life of the project, rather than operating purely as a hands-off grantor.
At a high level, the project centers on three connected pieces of work that build on each other: first, an assessment of what cyberviolence-related training is already available to judicial professionals and what gaps remain; second, an assessment of the needs of victims of cyberviolence; and third, the creation and broad dissemination of training and technical assistance that directly responds to the findings from the two assessments. The intent is not only to map the current landscape, but to translate that information into practical, usable resources that can be deployed nationally. The training and technical assistance products are expected to be published and delivered either by the grantee directly or in collaboration with project partners, emphasizing that applicants should be prepared to operate at a national level and to coordinate across multiple stakeholders.
The solicitation falls within the funding activity categories of Income Security and Social Services and Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting the dual focus on victim-centered support and system-level justice responses. While eligibility is broadly listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the original solicitation text, the framing suggests the program is aimed at organizations capable of conducting nationwide assessments, developing curricula and resource materials, and providing training and technical assistance at scale. In practice, that generally points toward entities with demonstrated expertise in victim services, cyberviolence dynamics, training design and delivery, and the operational capacity to reach judicial audiences and related professionals across jurisdictions.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of $1,500,000, with one expected award, indicating a single recipient (or lead recipient with partners) would be responsible for delivering the full national initiative. The opportunity was created and posted on April 28, 2016, with an application closing date of June 7, 2016. The combination of a single award, a relatively large ceiling, and the cooperative agreement structure signals an effort to centralize development of consistent guidance and training materials, likely to improve uniformity and quality of responses to cyberviolence across courts and associated systems.
Overall, the grant’s purpose is to strengthen the field’s ability to respond effectively to victims of cyberviolence by first understanding what training exists and what is missing for judicial professionals, then directly incorporating victim-identified needs, and finally producing and distributing targeted training and technical assistance nationwide. The desired end state is a more informed, better equipped justice system response that is grounded in both professional training requirements and the real-world experiences and needs of victims.
