Description
The OVW Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction Program (Tribal Jurisdiction Program) (CFDA# 16.025) is authorized by the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, 25 U.S.C. § 1304(f). Through this grant program, Indian tribes receive support to exercise special domestic violence criminal jurisdiction (SDVCJ) and technical assistance (TA) for planning and implementing changes in their criminal justice systems necessary to exercise the jurisdiction. The program encourages collaborations among tribal leadership, courts, prosecutors, attorneys, defense counsel, law enforcement, probation, victim service providers, and other partners to ensure that victims find safety and justice and that non-Indians who commit crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, and violations of protection orders in the Indian country of the participating tribe are held accountable. For additional information about this program and related performance measures, including how awards contribute to the achievement of program goals and objectives, see: OVW grant program information: OVW Grants and Programs webpage Program performance measures under the Measuring Effectiveness Initiative: VAWA Measuring Effectiveness Initiative webpage Examples of successful projects in OVW's most recent report to Congress on the effectiveness of VAWA grant programs: 2018 Biennial Report Note: This solicitation is targeted toward tribes that have not yet begun exercising SDVCJ and tribes that are currently exercising SDVCJ but are seeking funding to plan and complete broad-scale system improvements to strengthen the exercise of SDVCJ (e.g., code development or substantial revisions, court rules and procedures development or substantial revisions, system capacity development to improve handling of cases). Tribes that are currently exercising SDVCJ and are only seeking funding to support discrete costs associated with exercising SDVCJ (e.g., incarceration costs (including medical care) for non-Indian SDVCJ defendants, defense counsel costs for non-Indian defendants, costs associated with empaneling a jury for an SDVCJ trial, batterer's intervention or other post-conviction programming costs for SDVCJ defendants) should apply for funding through the OVW FY 2021 OVW Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction: Targeted Support for Exercising Tribes Solicitation.
