Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women Later in Life Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2013 3401) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It supports projects that either create new capacity or strengthen existing community responses to elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation, with a specific focus on older victims experiencing sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. The program is aimed at victims who are 50 years of age or older, and it emphasizes practical improvements in both training and direct services so that agencies and service providers can better identify abuse, intervene safely, and connect older victims to meaningful protection and support.
Funding under this opportunity is provided through cooperative agreements, meaning recipients should expect a more collaborative relationship with OVW than a typical formula grant, often involving federal involvement such as guidance, reporting expectations, and coordination around program goals. The total estimated funding available for this solicitation was $3,000,000, with an anticipated 8 awards. Individual awards could be as high as $400,000 (the award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which reduces the financial barrier for organizations that want to participate but cannot commit local match funds.
Eligible applicants covered a wide range of governmental and community-based entities, reflecting the reality that elder abuse and later-in-life victimization often require cross-system responses. Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as special district governments. The solicitation also allowed nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Tribal eligibility was broad, including federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations. This mix of eligible entities is consistent with a coordinated-community-response approach, where justice agencies, social services, victim advocates, and culturally specific providers may need to work together to address complex safety, health, housing, financial, and legal issues faced by older victims.
From a subject-matter standpoint, the program sits at the intersection of income security and social services and the law, justice, and legal services sector (CFDA 16.528). That positioning signals that projects are expected to address both the service needs of older victims (such as advocacy, safety planning, and access to supportive resources) and the systems that respond to abuse (such as law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, adult protective services, and other community partners). While the short description does not list required activities, the title and purpose make clear that the core intent is to improve how communities recognize and respond to abuse later in life through enhanced training and improved services tailored to older victims.
Key dates for the FY 2013 competition were straightforward. The opportunity was posted on January 10, 2013, with the original and current closing date both set to February 28, 2013, and it was archived on March 30, 2013. Organizations that needed help accessing the full announcement were directed to contact Janice A. Green at OVW by phone (202-616-6728) or email (Janice.A.Green@usdoj.gov).
