Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2014 Violence Against Women Bakken Region Initiative Enhanced Response to Victims grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3892) is a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It was posted on April 25, 2014, and the application deadline was May 28, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on June 27, 2014. The solicitation is specifically aimed at strengthening and improving coordinated responses for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in the Bakken Region, an area that experienced rapid population growth and related public safety and victim service pressures tied to energy development. The opportunity’s title and program framing indicate a focus on enhancing victim-centered services and system responses in communities affected by these boom conditions.
Funding is provided as a grant (not a loan or cooperative agreement), with an anticipated total of five awards. The funding aligns with CFDA number 16.589, the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program, and it spans several public service activity areas, including health, housing, and law/justice/legal services. The solicitation states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, a detail that can matter significantly for smaller or resource-constrained organizations and jurisdictions.
Eligibility for this opportunity is limited to invitation only, and the listing indicates that eligible applicants fall under an “Other†category, with clarification referenced in the solicitation’s additional eligibility information. In practical terms, this means the applicant pool was pre-selected by OVW for targeted participation rather than open to all interested organizations. Entities that typically fit OVW’s rural and victim services work can include local or tribal governments, victim service providers, nonprofits, and other specialized partners, but for this particular initiative the key point is that only invited applicants could apply.
Applications were required to be submitted through the DOJ Grants Management System (GMS), and the solicitation directs applicants to consult the “How to Apply†section (page 12) for procedural instructions. This suggests the process involved the standard DOJ/OVW electronic submission workflow, including completion of required forms and narrative elements within GMS by the closing date. For applicants who could not access the announcement electronically or needed assistance, the solicitation provided a direct point of contact: Debbie Bright at OVW (phone 202-307-3353, email Debbie.Bright@usdoj.gov).
Overall, the opportunity reflects OVW’s targeted investment in improving how communities in the Bakken Region respond to violence against women, with an emphasis on strengthening services for victims and improving cross-system coordination among service providers and justice system partners. The limited, invitation-only eligibility and the small number of expected awards indicate a focused initiative designed to concentrate resources in select locations or partnerships where OVW believed enhanced response capacity was most urgently needed.
