Opportunity Summary:
The OVW FY 2016 Training and Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities Grant Program (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2016 9147) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (USDOJ-OJP-OVW), under CFDA 16.529. Authorized by 42 U.S.C. 3796gg-7, the program focuses on improving how communities and service systems respond to survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, while also strengthening efforts to hold offenders accountable. The emphasis is not just on delivering one-time services, but on creating sustainable, lasting change within individual organizations and across partner agencies so that accessibility and effective response become built-in, routine parts of how systems operate.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the funder expects an active partnership and ongoing involvement in guiding or supporting the work beyond simply issuing funds and receiving reports. The program is designed to help recipients establish and strengthen multidisciplinary, collaborative relationships, especially across victim services, disability service organizations, Deaf-serving organizations, and other key partners that may include law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, healthcare providers, and community-based advocacy programs. A central goal is to increase organizational capacity so services are accessible, safe, and effective for people with a wide range of disabilities and for Deaf individuals, addressing both communication access and broader barriers that can prevent survivors from getting help or participating in the justice process.
A key component of the opportunity is assessment and planning tied to real gaps in a grantee's organization and/or service area. Funds support identifying unmet needs, barriers, and weaknesses in policies, procedures, training, and coordination, then developing a concrete plan to address those needs in a way that lays a strong foundation for future work. In practice, this often includes improving physical and programmatic accessibility, strengthening trauma-informed and survivor-centered approaches tailored to disability and Deaf experiences, building staff competency through training, improving referral pathways and cross-agency protocols, and ensuring accommodations and communication supports are consistently available.
Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized tribal governments; tribal organizations (including those other than federally recognized tribal governments); and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was posted and created on January 27, 2016, with an application closing date of March 10, 2016. The maximum award amount listed is $425,000, and OVW anticipated making around 15 awards. Overall, the grant program is aimed at strengthening coordinated community responses so that survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors can access meaningful protection and services without facing systemic barriers, and so accountability mechanisms are better equipped to respond effectively to these crimes.
