Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2016 National Indian Country Clearinghouse on Sexual Assault Solicitation is a discretionary federal funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It was created on July 11, 2016, and originally closed on August 23, 2016. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, collaborating on priorities, deliverables, and oversight) rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal interaction.
The purpose of the solicitation is to support a single national clearinghouse focused on sexual assault affecting American Indian and Alaska Native women. As authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), the clearinghouse is intended to serve as a centralized national resource that provides training and technical assistance (often abbreviated as TTA). In practical terms, this kind of clearinghouse typically collects and organizes effective practices, tools, research, and policy information; develops and delivers trainings; and provides tailored technical assistance to strengthen the response to sexual violence in Indian Country. The focus on American Indian and Alaska Native women reflects longstanding federal recognition that tribal communities face distinct jurisdictional, cultural, geographic, and service-access challenges related to sexual assault prevention and response.
The opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.027, which is associated with OVW violence against women programming. It is categorized under a broader funding activity heading labeled "Other," indicating it does not fit neatly into standard categories such as law enforcement, prosecution, or victim services and instead centers on national-level training, technical assistance, and resource development.
Funding under this solicitation was capped at an award ceiling of $500,000, and OVW anticipated making one award in total. That structure signals an intent to designate one organization or entity as the national hub for this clearinghouse function, rather than funding multiple regional providers. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation materials, suggesting that nontraditional applicants beyond state or local governments may have been eligible, such as nonprofit organizations, tribal organizations, national technical assistance providers, or other qualified entities capable of operating a national clearinghouse.
In summary, this 2016 OVW solicitation sought to fund one national organization through a cooperative agreement to operate a clearinghouse that strengthens the national response to sexual assault against American Indian and Alaska Native women by delivering coordinated training, technical assistance, and curated resources tailored to the realities of Indian Country.
