Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY 2011 National Joint Training Conference for VOCA Victim Assistance and Victim Compensation Administrators is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Through this solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2011 3037; CFDA 16.582 Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants), OVC planned to fund one organization to design and deliver a national training conference focused on strengthening the administration and day-to-day operation of programs supported by the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA). The intent is practical and operational: bring together the leaders and staff who run VOCA victim assistance and victim compensation programs so they can improve service delivery for crime victims and share what is working across jurisdictions.
OVC expected to make a single award totaling $150,000, which also served as the maximum award amount (award ceiling $150,000; estimated total funding $150,000). The funding instrument type is a grant, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants. The solicitation was posted May 13, 2011, with an application closing date of June 27, 2011, and an archive date of July 27, 2011.
The funded project was to plan and implement a 2.5 day VOCA National Joint Training Conference to be held in 2012, with an anticipated attendance of about 300 participants. The target audience included VOCA victim assistance administrators, VOCA victim compensation administrators, and related staff and board members. The conference format was expected to be multi-modal and skills-oriented, using lectures, panel presentations, workshops, and forum-style discussions. OVC emphasized three core outcomes for the event: improving the delivery of crime victim services, creating a structured opportunity for VOCA administrators to exchange information and best practices, and providing training and technical assistance tied to effective program operations.
Eligibility was limited to entities that could demonstrate both subject-matter knowledge and logistical capacity to carry out a national convening at this scale. Eligible applicants included national associations, private nonprofit organizations (including faith- and community-based organizations), colleges and universities (public or private), public agencies, and tribal organizations and governments. The solicitation also listed broad applicant categories such as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), institutions of higher education, federally recognized tribal governments, and other entities as clarified in the full announcement. In practical terms, OVC was looking for an organization that already understood VOCA assistance administration and could show it had the staff, resources, and experience to manage conference planning, programming, and delivery for a national audience.
For support, applicants were directed to Grants.gov customer service for technical submission issues (1-800-518-4726). Programmatic questions and other solicitation requirements were handled by the OVC contact listed in the announcement: Deserea Jackson, Victim Justice Program Specialist (202-307-6187; deserea.jackson@usdoj.gov).
