Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2020 17795
The OVW FY 2020 Training and Technical Assistance Initiative (TA Initiative) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Its main goal is to fund organizations that can deliver hands-on, practical training and technical assistance to OVW grantees and subgrantees, as well as to groups that may apply for OVW funding in the future. The focus is not on providing direct victim services through local programs, but on helping the field implement OVW-supported projects more effectively, more consistently, and in ways that align with OVW program goals and requirements.
At its core, the initiative is meant to strengthen the capacity of professionals and organizations nationwide who respond to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and stalking. That includes both civil and criminal justice system stakeholders (for example, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, probation, and related system partners) and victim service providers (such as advocacy organizations and allied service entities). A key theme of the opportunity is improving coordinated responses and encouraging partnerships, especially among organizations that have not traditionally worked together. In practice, that can mean building cross-sector collaborations, improving shared protocols, and expanding the ability of different parts of a community response to work toward common, victim-centered outcomes.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that OVW expects substantial involvement during the period of performance. In other words, recipients should anticipate an active relationship with OVW that may include coordinated planning, regular communication, approval or consultation on key deliverables, and alignment with OVW priorities for training and technical assistance. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that this is a specialized capacity-building and support function rather than a traditional service delivery or research category.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), and Native American tribal organizations other than federally recognized tribal governments. The program is tied to CFDA number 16.526. This structure signals that OVW is looking for established entities with the infrastructure and expertise to provide training, develop resources, and deliver technical assistance at scale, potentially across multiple jurisdictions or regions.
From a funding and timing perspective, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2020 17795) was posted on December 23, 2019, with an original closing date of February 26, 2020. OVW anticipated making up to 47 awards, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. The number of expected awards and the relatively high ceiling suggest a portfolio approach in which OVW funds multiple specialized providers, each potentially offering distinct types of training and technical assistance (for example, topic-specific expertise, audience-specific support, or different delivery methods), rather than relying on a single national provider.
Overall, the OVW FY 2020 TA Initiative is designed to improve the effectiveness, quality, and sustainability of OVW-funded work nationwide by equipping grantees, subgrantees, and prospective applicants with targeted guidance, training, and problem-solving support. The desired end result is stronger implementation of OVW projects, more capable justice and victim service systems, and better collaboration across organizations responding to gender-based violence.Apply for OVW 2020 17795
