Opportunity Summary:
The OVW Fiscal Year 2012 Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The purpose of this program is to help colleges and universities strengthen how they prevent, respond to, investigate, and prosecute violence that affects students and others in campus communities, with a particular focus on crimes against women. In practical terms, the program is meant to improve campus-based victim services, enhance campus security and safety strategies, and build stronger investigative and justice responses so institutions are better equipped to address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
This funding opportunity is identified as OVW-2012-3147 and is administered as a grant under CFDA number 16.525 (Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus). The activity areas connected to the funding span education, health, and law/justice-related services, reflecting the reality that campus violence response requires coordination across student services, advocacy and counseling supports, campus law enforcement or security, and external criminal justice partners. OVW signals that the program is designed to support more effective prevention and prosecution strategies, meaning applicants are generally expected to show how their campus will improve both survivor-centered services and institutional accountability.
The estimated total funding available for this cycle is $9,000,000, with an expectation of about 25 awards. Individual awards may be as high as $505,000, and there is no stated minimum award amount (award floor listed as $0). Importantly for budgeting and planning, the opportunity states that there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which can make the grant more accessible to institutions that do not have dedicated matching funds available.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including both public and state-controlled colleges and universities as well as private institutions of higher education. This indicates the program is geared specifically toward campus settings and recognizes that different types of institutions face similar challenges in preventing and responding to gender-based violence. While the summary does not list required partnerships or mandatory program components, the overall framing suggests OVW is looking for coordinated campus responses that connect victim services, campus safety entities, and investigative functions into a clear and effective approach.
Key dates for this opportunity include a posted and creation date of April 10, 2012, with an original and current application closing date of May 22, 2012. The opportunity was later archived on June 21, 2012, reflecting that this is a past funding cycle rather than an open solicitation. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically at the time, OVW provided a contact point: Myrta Charles at 202-305-2977, listed under the OVW Campus Program. Additional details were also referenced through an "Additional Information" link labeled "Campus Grant Program," which would typically include the full program solicitation, required application elements, and any specific priority areas for that year.
