Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Technical Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3702) is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to strengthen the effectiveness of OVW-funded initiatives by providing hands-on technical assistance to both current and prospective OVW grantees and subgrantees. The intent is not simply to fund direct services, but to help organizations plan, launch, manage, and improve projects supported by OVW funds so they can meet program goals, comply with requirements, and deliver stronger outcomes for survivors and communities.
A major emphasis of this program is capacity-building across systems that respond to violence against women. OVW specifically highlights the need to improve how criminal justice agencies and victim service organizations respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Alongside practical implementation support, the opportunity prioritizes efforts that encourage collaboration and partnership building, especially among organizations that have not traditionally worked together. In practice, this means the program supports technical assistance that helps different sectors align policies, improve coordinated responses, share best practices, and reduce gaps that survivors often encounter when seeking help across multiple agencies.
The award mechanism for this opportunity is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically indicates a more active federal role during the project period than a standard grant, such as ongoing collaboration, oversight, or coordination with OVW. The funding activity category is listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting the program's intersection of justice-system practice and survivor-centered services. OVW anticipated making around 70 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $31,000,000 and an award ceiling of $600,000 per award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide a financial match to receive funding.
Eligibility is broad and includes a range of organizations positioned to deliver technical assistance and training. Eligible applicants include federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also other than institutions of higher education). This range suggests OVW intended to attract applicants with specialized expertise in training, technical assistance delivery, policy development, and systems improvement related to violence against women.
Key administrative details include a posted date and creation date of January 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2014, and an archive date of April 5, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.526 (OVW Technical Assistance Initiative).
