Opportunity Summary:
The OVC FY14 Tribal Victim Assistance Professional Development Fellowship Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2014 3912) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It was designed to support focused professional development and field based work that advances recommendations and themes from the Vision 21 Final Report, specifically those connected to improving how victim services reach and serve American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims. The fellowship is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the awardee would typically work in close coordination with OVC rather than operating completely independently.
OVC planned to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of 200,000 and an award ceiling of 200,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for participation. The program fell under CFDA 16.582 (Crime Victim Assistance/Discretionary Grants) and aligns with the broad activity areas of income security and social services and law, justice, and legal services. The opportunity was posted on April 17, 2014, with an application deadline of June 2, 2014, and an archive date of July 2, 2014.
A key feature of this fellowship is its emphasis on strengthening the practical connections between OVC, tribal governments, and tribal nongovernmental organizations. The central idea is to improve two things at once: first, the flow of communication and working relationships among these stakeholders, and second, the ability of victim service systems in Indian Country to consistently deliver accessible, culturally relevant help to AI/AN victims. The fellowship aims to make information about victim assistance easier to find and use for AI/AN victims, recognizing that access often depends not just on whether services exist, but on whether people know about them, trust them, and can reach them in real world conditions.
The work supported under the fellowship is also intended to examine and respond to capacity issues in Indian Country. That includes assessing what victim assistance services are available, where gaps exist, and what limitations service providers face in terms of staffing, skills, infrastructure, coordination, and coverage across large or remote areas. Alongside that assessment, the fellowship places clear priority on identifying training and technical assistance needs. In practice, this could involve determining what additional knowledge, tools, protocols, or specialized support victim service professionals need to serve AI/AN victims more effectively, and then helping to shape strategies to address those needs in partnership with OVC and tribal stakeholders.
Eligibility for this opportunity was limited to individuals, not organizations. Applicants were encouraged to begin preparation well in advance of the June 2, 2014 deadline, signaling that OVC expected a thoughtful, well developed proposal and that the cooperative agreement and fellowship activities would likely involve substantial planning, coordination, and on the ground engagement. For applicants who could not access the full announcement electronically, OVC provided a contact person, Chandria Slaughter, reachable by phone at 202 514 5438.
