Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2011 Services, Training, Education and Policies to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking in Secondary Schools Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2011 2919) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to help middle schools and high schools strengthen how they prevent and respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking affecting students. The program is designed to move schools beyond ad hoc responses by supporting more consistent training, student-focused services, prevention strategies, clearer policies, and coordinated community responses that connect schools with victim service providers and other key partners.
The focus of the funding is school-based victim advocacy, direct or referral-based services, and policy development in secondary school settings. In practical terms, this kind of program typically supports efforts like training school staff so they can recognize signs of abuse or stalking and respond in trauma-informed ways; establishing or improving protocols for reporting, safety planning, and confidentiality; expanding access to victim advocates; improving coordination between the school, local victim service organizations, law enforcement, and other community resources; and implementing prevention education that addresses dating violence and sexual violence before incidents occur. The goal is to ensure that student victims have access to meaningful support and that schools have clear, consistent, and effective systems for handling these situations.
OVW anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation. The maximum award amount (the ceiling) is $500,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible for public school districts that may not have flexible local funding to meet a match requirement. The funding instrument type is a grant.
Eligible applicants are public schools and districts, described in the listing as independent school districts and public schools/districts. The opportunity was posted and created on February 25, 2011, with an application closing date of April 6, 2011. The archive date was May 6, 2011, meaning the solicitation is no longer active but the details reflect what was available during that funding cycle.
For applicants or interested parties who needed the full solicitation, OVW provided an additional information link to the program solicitation document and offered direct assistance through the OVW main line at 202-307-6026 and the email address OVW.STEP@usdoj.gov for access issues or questions related to the announcement.
