Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Court Training and Improvements Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW-2013-3402) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The program is designed to strengthen how courts handle cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking by investing in court or court-based initiatives that improve day-to-day court operations and outcomes for victims. At its core, the opportunity supports efforts to make civil and criminal court functions more effective, build or modernize court infrastructure where it affects these case types, and improve the overall court response so victims experience safer, more consistent, and more informed proceedings.
This funding falls under the Law, Justice and Legal Services category and is tied to CFDA 16.013, the Violence Against Women Act Court Training and Improvement Grants. OVW anticipated making about 20 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $4,100,000. Individual awards could be as high as $450,000, and the listed award floor is $0, meaning applicants could request varying amounts depending on the scope and design of their proposed work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can make it easier for courts and court-based programs to participate without needing to secure additional non-federal funds to meet a match.
Eligibility is centered on courts and court-based programs at the federal, state, tribal, and local levels. Eligible applicants explicitly include federally recognized Native American tribal governments as well as state governments and local governments such as city/township and county governments, with additional eligibility detail referenced in the full announcement. In practical terms, the solicitation is aimed at entities that can implement improvements within the court system or through court-connected structures, such as specialized dockets, coordinated court responses, training programs for judicial officers and court staff, or operational changes that help courts respond more effectively and consistently to violence against women-related cases.
