Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Grants to Encourage Arrest Policies and Enforcement of Protection Orders Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2905) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It sits within the Law, Justice, and Legal Services funding area and is tied to CFDA 16.590. The central purpose of the program is to strengthen how the justice system responds to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking by promoting policies and practices that treat these offenses as serious crimes and by reinforcing a coordinated, system-wide approach rather than leaving the response to any single agency.
At its core, this program is aimed at encouraging and supporting arrest policies and improving the enforcement of protection orders. The underlying idea is that survivor safety and offender accountability improve when law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, courts, and related justice system partners work in a coordinated way, follow clear and consistent policies, and respond quickly and effectively to violations of protection orders and to violence-related offenses. In practical terms, the program supports efforts that help jurisdictions build or enhance coordinated community responses, align practices across agencies, and ensure that protection orders are recognized and enforced as intended.
The opportunity is open to a range of government entities, including state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments. Eligibility also extends to state, local, and tribal courts, reflecting the program emphasis on criminal justice and court system coordination. The solicitation notes that some applicants may fall under an "Others" category, with clarification provided in the official eligibility language, but the clear target audience is government and court entities responsible for law enforcement, prosecution, judicial decision-making, and protection order administration and enforcement.
For FY 2011, OVW estimated a total of $50,000,000 available under this program, with an expectation of about 90 awards. Individual awards could be as high as $1,000,000, and there was no stated award floor (listed as $0), which typically signals flexibility in award sizing depending on the proposed scope, jurisdiction size, and the specific strategy presented in the application. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to provide a non-federal funding match as a condition of the award.
Key dates for the competition include a posted date of January 12, 2011, with the opportunity created in the system on January 19, 2011. The application deadline was February 24, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on March 26, 2011. The official solicitation and full announcement were made available via an additional information link hosted by OVW (a PDF titled "arrest solicitation"), which would typically include the detailed program purpose areas, allowable and unallowable costs, required partnerships, performance reporting expectations, and the application components and submission instructions.
Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to contact OVW through its main line at 202-307-6026 or by email at OVW.Arrest@usdoj.gov.
