Currently, the Office on Violence
Against Women administers 2 formula grant programs and 17
discretionary grant programs. OVW developed a solicitation template
so that OVW would ask for information from prospective applicants
in a consistent manner no matter which grant program was the
subject of an application and to ease the burden on applicants who
are submitting applications to different grant programs.
OVW is seeking
expedited, emergency review and approval of the solicitation
template by November 1, 2009 so that OVW can meet its Fiscal Year
deadlines of posting solicitations, reviewing applications and
making grant awards.
