Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2010 Court Training and Improvements Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2010 2443) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen how courts and court-based programs handle cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. The core purpose is to support practical improvements in both civil and criminal court operations, including better court functions, upgraded or more effective court infrastructure, and stronger, more victim-centered court responses. In plain terms, OVW is looking to fund court-focused initiatives that make the justice system more consistent, informed, and effective when addressing these forms of violence, with an emphasis on improving how victims experience and move through the court process.
The program falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding category and is tied to CFDA 16.013, Violence Against Women Act Court Training and Improvement Grants. OVW anticipated making about 10 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $2,900,000. Individual awards could be as large as $450,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award. This structure makes the opportunity particularly focused on enabling courts to implement improvements without needing to secure additional non-federal contributions to meet match thresholds.
Eligibility is aimed squarely at entities operating within the court system. Eligible applicants include federal, state, and local courts, as well as court-based programs. Federally recognized Native American tribal governments are also listed as eligible applicants. The intent is to fund initiatives that are rooted in the court environment, meaning proposals should be anchored in court operations, court administration, judicial and staff training, procedural improvements, and related court-based services and responses that affect how cases are processed and how victims are supported within the court context.
Key dates for the FY 2010 solicitation include a posted date of December 16, 2009, and an application closing deadline of February 9, 2010 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The opportunity was archived on March 11, 2010. The official solicitation and full program details were provided through an additional information link hosted by OVW. For applicants who had trouble accessing the announcement, OVW provided direct support through its main line at 202-307-6026 and an email contact at OVW.CourtsProgram@usdoj.gov, reinforcing that the program was managed directly by OVW and that technical access help was available alongside the formal application materials.
