OVC FY 2018 Law Enforcement-Based Direct Victim Services and TA Program

Additional information on eligibility (from the notice)

Eligible applicants for Purpose Area 1 (Law Enforcement-Based Direct Victim Services Program) are limited to public law enforcement agencies or federally recognized Indian tribal governments with arrest powers that perform law enforcement functions (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior) from small, mid-sized or large jurisdictions. Viable sites within the Public Safety Partnership, Project Safe Neighborhoods and Enhancing Law Enforcement Response to Victims (ELERV) are particularly invited to apply. Eligible applicants for Purpose Area 2 (Law Enforcement-Based Direct Victim Services Technical Assistance Program) are limited to nonprofit organizations (including tribal nonprofit organizations); for-profit organizations; colleges or universities (including tribal institutions of higher education); and tribal governments, or tribal organizations. Applicants must have the staff resources and capability to develop or enhance a model for delivery of these technical assistance services. A nonprofit organization does not need to have 501(c)(3) status to apply for grant funding under this solicitation. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. OVC welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire program. Under this solicitation, only one application by any particular applicant entity will be considered. An entity may, however, be proposed as a subrecipient (subgrantee) in more than one application. OVC may elect to fund applications submitted under this FY 2018 solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
