Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2016 Technical Assistance Initiative Solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2016 9146) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Office on Violence Against Women (USDOJ-OJP-OVW). It is offered through a cooperative agreement, which generally means recipients should expect an active partnership with OVW during the life of the award, including ongoing coordination, shared planning, and federal involvement in key implementation decisions tied to the goals of the initiative.
The central goal of this solicitation is to fund organizations that can deliver direct technical assistance to both existing and potential OVW grantees and subgrantees. The emphasis is on practical, implementation-focused support that helps programs successfully carry out projects backed by OVW funding. In practice, this type of technical assistance can include guidance on program design and improvement, strengthening policies and protocols, troubleshooting implementation challenges, supporting compliance and reporting needs, and helping grantees translate statutory or program requirements into workable on-the-ground procedures. The intent is to increase the effectiveness and consistency of OVW-funded work by ensuring grantees have access to specialized expertise and hands-on assistance.
A second major purpose of the opportunity is broader capacity-building across systems that respond to violence against women. OVW highlights the need to strengthen both criminal justice and victim services organizations so they can respond more effectively to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. This reflects an understanding that survivors often interact with multiple institutions (law enforcement, courts, prosecutors, advocates, healthcare, and community-based providers) and that the quality of those responses depends on training, coordinated practices, and organizational readiness. Alongside capacity-building, the solicitation also stresses fostering partnerships among organizations that have not traditionally worked together. The aim is to encourage cross-sector collaboration that closes gaps in service delivery, improves safety and accountability, reduces fragmented responses, and promotes more coordinated community or system-level approaches to these crimes.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on January 14, 2016, with an application closing date of March 1, 2016 (no later updated deadline is indicated). The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number listed is 16.526. OVW anticipated making approximately 60 awards, and the opportunity category is listed as "Other" in the funding activity classification (with the solicitation noting that the explanation is provided in the related text field). Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the expectation that the detailed eligibility rules and applicant types would be clarified in the solicitation's eligibility section.
Overall, this solicitation is designed to expand and strengthen the technical assistance infrastructure that supports OVW grant programs nationwide. By funding entities that can provide high-quality guidance to grantees and help build cross-disciplinary partnerships, OVW is aiming to improve implementation outcomes and enhance system and community responses to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
