Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY10 Standards for Victim Assistance Programs and Providers grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2010 2761) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), intended to modernize and strengthen a key national guidance document used by victim service programs. The core purpose is to update the resource originally released in May 2003, titled "Standards for Victim Assistance Programs and Providers," so it reflects contemporary practice, current victim needs, and the realities of how services are delivered today. The updated standards are meant to serve as a practical, field-facing tool that programs and providers can use to improve quality, consistency, and accountability across victim services.
This opportunity would fund a single cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would not work in isolation but would collaborate closely with OVC during the project. The selected organization would reconvene the National Victim Assistance Standards Consortium, the same body that developed the original 2003 standards, and lead the process of revising and enhancing the document for present-day relevance. In addition to revising the standards themselves, the project also emphasizes outreach, dissemination, and training. The awardee is expected to work in partnership with OVC to reach targeted audiences, share information about the updated resource, and provide training that helps practitioners understand how to use the enhanced standards in real-world program settings. The existing standards document was made available online through the University of South Carolina site referenced in the solicitation.
Funding for the project was set at an estimated total of $325,000, with an award ceiling of $325,000, and OVC anticipated making one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically reduces barriers for applicants and allows the proposal to focus on the work plan and outcomes rather than on securing additional non-federal funds. The program is associated with CFDA 16.582, Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants, and it sits within activity areas that include education and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the cross-cutting nature of victim assistance standards and the systems that interact with victims.
Eligibility was broad and included multiple types of public and nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants included state governments; city, township, and county governments; federally recognized tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; and nonprofits both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within those nonprofit categories). This range suggests OVC was open to a variety of organizations with the capacity to convene national stakeholders, manage a complex revision process, and deliver training and dissemination at scale.
Key administrative dates indicate the opportunity was posted May 19, 2010, with a closing deadline of 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, July 1, 2010, and an archive date of July 31, 2010. Applicants needing assistance were directed to contact Mary Atlas Terry, a Victim Justice Program Specialist, for programmatic or solicitation-related questions, with a phone number provided in the announcement.
