Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2013 Sexual Assault Services Formula Grant Program (SASP Formula) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its purpose is to route formula-based funding to states and U.S. territories so they can strengthen and sustain services for people who have experienced sexual assault. The emphasis is on supporting rape crisis centers and other nonprofit, nongovernmental victim-service organizations that provide core, direct services such as crisis intervention, advocacy, and related assistance for survivors. A central point of the program is that these funds are meant to supplement, not replace, other sexual assault funding streams at the state or territorial level.
This opportunity was posted on March 28, 2013 (with a creation date of April 3, 2013) under Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2013 3410. It is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and listed under an “Other†opportunity category, with the activity clarified as Sexual Assault Victim Services. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 16.017 (Sexual Assault Services Formula Program). OVW anticipated making 56 awards, reflecting distribution across the eligible jurisdictions receiving formula funds. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute a specific non-federal match as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was limited to state governments (and, per the program description, territories), consistent with its formula-grant structure. In practical terms, states and territories apply to receive SASP formula dollars and then use those funds to support eligible community-based providers delivering sexual assault services. The program design centers on ensuring that victim-service infrastructure is available and responsive statewide, particularly through organizations that specialize in sexual assault response and survivor support.
Applications had to be submitted through the DOJ online Grants Management System (GMS), which was the required submission portal for this solicitation. The deadline for submission was 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Wednesday, April 24, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on May 24, 2013. For technical issues or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Melissa Schmisek at OVW, reachable by phone at (202) 305-1271 or by email at melissa.schmisek@usdoj.gov.
