Opportunity Summary:

The OVW FY 2014 Violence Against Women Bakken Region Initiative Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (Tribal SAUSA) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2014 3893) was a discretionary grant program administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). The initiative was tied to the Bakken Region, an area that experienced rapid growth and related public safety strains, and it was designed to strengthen the legal and prosecutorial response to violence against women in that context by supporting Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorneys. In practical terms, the opportunity focused on improving coordination and capacity for handling cases involving domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, particularly where tribal and federal systems intersect.

The solicitation anticipated making 2 awards with an estimated total funding amount of $900,000. The funding instrument was a grant, and the opportunity was categorized under multiple activity areas including health, housing, and law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the reality that violence against women responses often require cross-system collaboration beyond prosecution alone. The associated CFDA listing was 16.589, the Rural Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking Assistance Program. The solicitation did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which typically reduces barriers for eligible applicants and allows the award to cover the core project costs without requiring non-federal contributions.

Eligibility for this program was not broadly open; it was limited to invitation only, with the official listing indicating that eligibility details were provided in an additional eligibility section of the solicitation. The posted eligible applicant type was listed as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which is consistent with invitation-only federal solicitations where OVW targets a small, specific set of entities based on program goals and regional needs. Because of that structure, the program was aimed at a narrow audience rather than general competition.

Applications were required to be submitted through the Department of Justice Grants Management System (GMS), and applicants were directed to consult the "How to Apply" section (referenced as being on page 5 of the solicitation) for submission instructions and requirements. Key dates for the opportunity were: posted and created on April 25, 2014; original and current application deadline of May 28, 2014; and an archive date of June 27, 2014, indicating the opportunity is no longer active. The listing also provided a point of contact for assistance accessing the full announcement: Kara Moller at 202-616-3464 and Kara.Moller@usdoj.gov.

Overall, this grant opportunity was a targeted OVW investment intended to bolster prosecution and justice system capacity in the Bakken Region by supporting Tribal SAUSA-related efforts, with the broader goal of improving safety and justice outcomes for victims of violence against women through stronger legal services and intergovernmental collaboration.
