Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Training and Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities Grants Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW-2014-3685) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is designed to improve how communities and service systems respond to victims of violence and abuse who have disabilities, including Deaf victims. The program focuses on building practical, on-the-ground capacity so that services are not only available, but also accessible, safe, effective, and appropriate for people with a wide range of disabilities and for Deaf individuals.
At the core of this opportunity is the expectation that funded work will strengthen multidisciplinary collaboration. That means applicants are expected to bring together relevant partners across systems that victims may encounter, such as victim service providers, disability service organizations, Deaf-serving organizations, culturally specific organizations where appropriate, and other key community stakeholders. The goal is to create or reinforce coordinated relationships so organizations are not working in isolation, and so victims with disabilities or Deaf victims are less likely to face gaps, barriers, or unsafe responses when trying to seek help. Alongside collaboration, the program prioritizes increasing an organization’s capacity to deliver accessible services, which commonly includes improving policies, practices, and staff readiness through training and structured organizational development.
A major emphasis in the program description is assessment and planning. Grantees are expected to identify needs within their own organization and/or within their service area, then develop a plan to address those needs. This planning is meant to be more than a basic checklist; it is intended to lay a strong foundation for future work by clarifying what barriers exist and what concrete steps the organization and its partners will take to remove them. In practice, this can involve examining physical accessibility, communication access (including accommodations for Deaf survivors), programmatic accessibility, and the overall safety and effectiveness of services delivered to victims with disabilities.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates OVW anticipates having substantial involvement during the period of performance, often through ongoing collaboration, guidance, monitoring, or participation in shaping certain deliverables. The funding activity category is listed as Education, with an additional clarification emphasizing training, disability, and Deaf-related work, reflecting the program’s strong training and capacity-building orientation.
OVW anticipated making about 10 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $5.0 million. Individual awards were expected to fall between $350,000 (award floor) and $550,000 (award ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which can reduce barriers for eligible organizations that may not have access to non-federal matching funds.
Eligible applicants were broad and included state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, as well as federally recognized Native American tribal governments and Native American tribal organizations. Nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status were also eligible, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.529, listed as Education, Training, and Enhanced Services to End Violence Against and Abuse of Women with Disabilities, which signals the federal assistance classification tied to this funding.
The solicitation was posted on December 11, 2013, with a closing date of January 30, 2014, and an archive date of March 1, 2014. For applicant support, OVW provided a contact person for access issues and questions about the announcement: Amy Loder, Sr. Program Specialist, reachable at (202) 305-2971 or Amy.Loder@usdoj.gov.
