Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2015 Technical Assistance Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2015 4042) is a discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), using a cooperative agreement funding instrument. Its central goal is to strengthen the effectiveness of OVW-funded work by providing hands-on technical assistance to current and prospective OVW grantees and subgrantees. In practical terms, the program is designed to help organizations plan, launch, manage, and improve projects supported with OVW grant funds so those projects meet program expectations and achieve stronger outcomes.
A major emphasis of this opportunity is capacity building across both criminal justice and victim services systems. OVW is specifically seeking technical assistance efforts that help agencies and service providers respond more effectively to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. Beyond improving individual organizational practices, the program also aims to encourage and support partnerships, especially collaborations among entities that have not traditionally worked together. The intent is to improve coordinated community responses and strengthen how systems and services connect, so survivors experience more consistent, informed, and effective support.
The opportunity is categorized under training and technical assistance on violence against women issues, and it falls under CFDA 16.526 (OVW Technical Assistance Initiative). OVW anticipated making around 60 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $34,000,000. The maximum award amount listed (award ceiling) is $600,000. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not expected to contribute a required non-federal match as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is primarily aimed at nonprofit national, tribal, or statewide organizations, as well as institutions of higher education. OVW notes that, in rare circumstances, it may also support projects from state, local, or tribal governments or government agencies (such as police departments, prosecutors offices, or probation departments), or local nonprofit organizations. This framing signals that the program is generally intended to fund organizations positioned to deliver broad-reaching technical assistance, often across multiple jurisdictions or regions, rather than purely local direct-service projects.
