Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVW 2021 51004
The OVW Fiscal Year 2021 Grants to Tribal Governments to Exercise Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction: Targeted Support for Exercising Tribes Solicitation is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). It is part of the broader Tribal Jurisdiction Program (CFDA 16.025) and is authorized under the Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended (25 U.S.C. 1304(f)). The central purpose of this particular, targeted solicitation is to help federally recognized Indian tribes that are already exercising Special Domestic Violence Criminal Jurisdiction (SDVCJ) cover specific, identifiable costs that arise directly from implementing SDVCJ, along with costs tied to related training and technical assistance.
This funding is not meant to serve as a general startup or large-scale planning grant for tribes that are still preparing to exercise SDVCJ, nor is it designed for tribes that want broad, system-wide improvements or major overhauls to strengthen their SDVCJ implementation. Instead, it focuses on practical, discrete expenses that come with day-to-day SDVCJ operations for tribes that are currently exercising that jurisdiction. The solicitation also makes clear that tribes that have not yet begun exercising SDVCJ, or tribes seeking support for broader planning and major system improvements, should apply under a separate FY 2021 OVW SDVCJ solicitation intended for those purposes.
In terms of logistics and scale, the opportunity was posted on January 12, 2021, with an original application deadline of March 26, 2021. OVW anticipated making around 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $200,000 per grant. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity area falls under law, justice, and legal services. Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the listing also notes “Others” may be eligible depending on additional eligibility language in the full solicitation.
Finally, OVW points applicants and stakeholders to program resources that explain goals, objectives, and how success is measured. This includes OVW’s general grant program information, performance measures connected to the VAWA Measuring Effectiveness Initiative, and examples of effective projects described in OVW’s 2018 Biennial Report to Congress on the effectiveness of VAWA grant programs. These references signal that funded projects are expected to align with OVW’s performance framework and document outcomes tied to the program’s public safety and victim services goals.Apply for O OVW 2021 51004
