Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY10 National Training Conference on Responding to Crime Victims with Disabilities (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2570) is a discretionary, competitive cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. It is designed to support a single national effort to strengthen how professionals across disciplines respond to crime victims with disabilities, with an emphasis on improving access to justice and victim services.
Under this opportunity, OVC planned to make one award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $800,000. The selected recipient would be responsible for planning, executing, and evaluating a national-scope training conference, as well as providing scholarships to support attendance. The core expectation is that the conference deliver state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary training for practitioners who encounter and respond to the victimization of people with disabilities. In practice, this means the event should go beyond awareness-level content and instead provide current, practical guidance that can change professional responses in the field, including how cases are identified, reported, investigated, prosecuted, and supported through victim services systems.
A major goal of the conference is to improve coordinated responses by building and strengthening strategic partnerships at the local, state, and national levels. The announcement underscores that better outcomes for victims with disabilities often depend on cross-system collaboration, so the training should help bridge gaps between criminal justice agencies, victim service providers, disability service organizations, and other allied professionals. The intended impact is improved access for victims with disabilities to the criminal justice system and to the services and supports they need, addressing barriers that can include communication needs, accessibility, credibility bias, dependence on caregivers (who may also be abusers), and limited provider readiness.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants had to be nonprofit organizations national in scope whose mission focuses on crime victimization or disability issues. The eligible applicant types listed include nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and public, state-controlled, or private institutions of higher education, but the narrative guidance emphasizes nonprofits with a national footprint and a mission centered on victimization or disability. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces financial barriers for qualified organizations to compete.
The grant falls under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and is categorized within income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the intersection of victim assistance and justice system response. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, the award structure implies substantial involvement or collaboration with OVC during implementation, which is common when an agency wants to help shape a national-level event, ensure alignment with federal priorities, and emphasize accountability for deliverables like evaluation and scholarship administration.
Key administrative details included a posting date of March 16, 2010, with applications due by 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 27, 2010, and a note that the registration deadline for the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS) was changed to April 27th. Applicants were required to register in GMS prior to submission, and technical support was available through the GMS Help Desk. For programmatic questions, the point of contact listed was Jasmine DAddario Fobian, Victim Justice Program Specialist, at 202-305-3332. The opportunity was archived on May 27, 2010.
Overall, this solicitation funded one national convening intended to professionalize and modernize the field response to victims with disabilities through high-quality training, deliberate partnership-building, structured evaluation of outcomes, and scholarship support to widen access for practitioners who might otherwise be unable to attend.
