Award economics. The award range on file is $616,000 -- $17,000,000. It expects to issue 56 awards. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources — factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.

Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on June 12, 2023. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully — federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed — it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description

This program is authorized by 34 U.S.C. §§ 10441, 10446-10451, 10454. The Services * Training * Officers * Prosecutors (STOP) Violence Against Women Formula Grant Program (STOP Formula Grant Program) (CFDA 16.588) supports communities, including American Indian tribes and Alaska Native villages, in their efforts to develop and strengthen effective responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. 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. Program-specific sections in OVW’s most recent report to Congress on the effectiveness of VAWA grant programs. What’s New About this OVW Program Legal assistance has been added to purpose areas five and nine. Representation of victims in post-conviction relief proceedings with respect to the conviction of a victim related to or arising from domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking of the victim is now allowable. Note: criminal defense of victims charged with crimes is still out-of-scope. There are four new purpose areas (21-24), related to improved evidence collection; culturally specific services for victims of female genital mutilation or cutting; victim advocates in state or local law enforcement, prosecution, and courts for Indian victims; and fees for birth certificates, passports, and identification cards. There are two new certification requirements: one regarding training for victim-centered prosecution and one regarding compliance with the applicable conditions of 34 U.S.C. 12291(b). States must submit an Implementation Plan Amendment. Please see the Implementation Plan Update or No Amendments Letter section of this solicitation for details on what must be included in the amendment.
