Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2012 Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative Technical Assistance Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to fund one or more organizations to act as the national technical assistance provider for a new domestic violence homicide prevention demonstration effort. The central purpose of the program is to strengthen local and tribal responses to the highest-risk domestic violence cases by improving how communities identify victims at elevated risk of being killed, expand and sharpen services and safety planning for those victims, and enhance the monitoring and management of high-risk offenders. In practical terms, the funded provider(s) would help participating jurisdictions build capacity, adopt or refine evidence-informed approaches, and improve cross-system coordination so that intervention efforts are more timely, consistent, and effective in preventing domestic violence-related homicides.
Funding is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means OVW expects an active partnership with the award recipient(s) rather than a hands-off grant relationship. OVW anticipated making up to two awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000 and an award ceiling of $1,250,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, which can lower barriers for eligible applicants and allow organizations to focus resources on delivering the training and technical assistance activities expected under the initiative.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit national, tribal, or statewide organizations and institutions of higher education, including public or private colleges and universities. The announcement also notes eligible applicant types in broader federal terms, such as 501(c)(3) nonprofits and certain tribal entities, but the key limiting factor is scope and capacity: applicants must be positioned to provide training and technical assistance at a national level. In other words, OVW is looking for organizations with demonstrated expertise, infrastructure, and reach to support multiple local government units and/or Indian tribal governments across the country, not a single-jurisdiction service provider.
The primary deliverable is comprehensive training and technical assistance in support of the Domestic Violence Homicide Prevention Demonstration Initiative. This would likely include developing and delivering trainings, providing tailored guidance to participating sites, helping jurisdictions implement or strengthen high-risk case identification and assessment practices, supporting multidisciplinary coordination among community partners (such as law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, victim service providers, and supervision agencies), and assisting with strategies that increase victim safety while improving oversight of offenders who pose the greatest risk. The intended outcome is a measurable improvement in local and tribal capacity to prevent lethal domestic violence by intervening earlier and more effectively in cases that show the strongest indicators of potential homicide.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 5, 2012, with an application closing date of October 16, 2012, and an archive date of November 15, 2012. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.526 (OVW Technical Assistance Initiative) and sits within the broader activity areas of law, justice, and legal services. For applicants who needed access help or additional guidance, the announcement provided an OVW contact (Anne Hamilton) and an email address (OVW.DVHR@usdoj.gov) for inquiries related to the solicitation.
