Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2012 Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women Later in Life Program was a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose was to help communities improve how they prevent, identify, and respond to violence and abuse affecting older victims, with a specific focus on people who are 50 years of age or older. The program emphasized both expanding direct services and strengthening professional training so that systems and service providers could better address elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, including cases that involve sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
This opportunity was offered through a cooperative agreement, which typically signals a more active partnership between the federal government and the award recipients than a standard grant. The underlying goal was not only to fund services, but to encourage coordinated, multidisciplinary responses that are informed by the realities older survivors face, such as dependency on caregivers, isolation, barriers to reporting, health or mobility concerns, and heightened vulnerability to financial exploitation and coercive control. In practice, applicants were expected to use funds to enhance training and service delivery in ways that measurably improve safety, access to help, and system accountability for later-in-life victims.
Funding for this solicitation was estimated at $3,000,000 in total, with an anticipated 8 awards. The maximum award amount (ceiling) was $400,000, and there was no stated minimum award amount (floor listed as $0). The program did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make it more accessible to organizations and governments that have limited non-federal resources to contribute.
Eligible applicants covered a broad range of public and nonprofit entities, reflecting the community-wide approach OVW programs often promote. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, Native American tribal organizations that are not federally recognized tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). This eligibility structure supported partnerships among victim service providers, legal services, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, adult protective services, aging services, and tribal entities, depending on local needs and jurisdiction.
The opportunity was categorized under Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice and Legal Services, which fits the program's dual focus: addressing the social service needs of older survivors while also improving justice system responses to crimes and harm that disproportionately affect them. The associated CFDA number was 16.528, titled Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence and Abuse of Women Later in Life, which is the federal catalog identifier used for tracking and reference.
Key dates for the solicitation show it was posted on February 16, 2012, created on February 15, 2012, and closed on March 29, 2012, with the archive date listed as April 28, 2012. The funding opportunity number was OVW 2012 3149. Applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Janice A. Green at 202-616-6728.
