Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 STOP Formula Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3704) is a federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It supports statewide efforts to address violence against women through the STOP (Services, Training, Officers, Prosecutors) Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program, which is listed under CFDA 16.588. The opportunity is categorized under law, justice, and legal services, and it is structured as a formula grant program, meaning funds are distributed to eligible jurisdictions according to a statutory or regulatory formula rather than solely through a competitive scoring process. The solicitation indicates an expected total of 56 awards, aligning with state-level eligibility and distribution.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to state governments. In practice, this typically means that the designated state administering agency (or another authorized state entity, depending on the state structure) is responsible for submitting the application and managing the award on behalf of the state. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so applicants should expect to document how the state will meet the required match as part of the overall project budget and award administration. The award floor is listed as $600,000, signaling that awards are expected to meet at least that minimum level, although final award amounts depend on the applicable formula and federal appropriations.
Applications for this program had to be submitted electronically through the Department of Justice Grants Management System (GMS). The solicitation emphasizes that all submissions must go through GMS and directs applicants to the "How to Apply" section (noted as page 16 in the solicitation) for instructions, including how to register in the system. Since GMS registration and submission steps can take time, the program’s guidance implies that applicants should begin the registration process early enough to avoid last-minute technical or access issues.
