Program Description
This program is authorized by [insert authorizing statute; note for ICJR, also include a sentence with
the cite for the regulations]. For a brief description of this program, see the Executive Summary.
For more information about OVW programs, including how recipients of OVW grant funding achieve
program goals, see:

•
OVW grant program information: OVW Grants and Programs webpage.
•
Data that recipients collect and report: VAWA Measuring Effectiveness Initiative webpage.
•
What recipients have achieved and some of the evidence-based approaches they may have
used: OVW’s most recent report to Congress on the effectiveness of VAWA grant programs.
Purpose Areas
Funds under this program must be used for one or more of the following purposes:
1. [insert purpose areas – use exact statutory language].
Statutory Considerations
[Note: Only the listed programs will use this section. The program NPOC will work with the assigned
attorney to develop the program specific language. Any program not listed should remove this
section. Programs: Abby Honold, Abuse in Later Life, Campus (including CSC), CSSP, Disabilities,
ESPOC, ICJR (including FTAP, EIP & Mentor Courts), JFF (including Mentor Courts), LAV (including
ELSI), Restorative Practices, Rural, SAFE, and Transitional Housing.]
Priorities
Applications that fare well in merit review and substantively address one or more of the priorities
listed below, to the extent consistent with the program’s authorizing statute, may receive priority
consideration for funding:
1. Measures to combat human trafficking and transnational crime, particularly crimes linked to
illegal immigration and cartel operations, that support safety and justice for trafficking victims
who have also suffered domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, and/or stalking;
2. Projects to provide victim services, especially housing, and improve law enforcement response
in rural and remote areas, Tribal nations, and small towns that often lack resources to
effectively combat domestic violence and sexual assault.
3. Proposals submitted by states or units of local government that certify they comply with federal
immigration law, including 8 U.S.C. § 1373. [Note for reviewers and program specialists:
Priority #3 will only be included in the Rural, ICJR, Abby Honold, Cybercrimes, and Enhancing
Investigation and Prosecution Initiative NOFOs because these five discretionary programs
fund jurisdictions to support law enforcement activities.]
[Note: A priority above may be modified or removed if it does not fit with the program’s statutory
purposes, but any changes must be made in consultation with the Legal Team.]
Program Requirements
[Note: These are activities that are required if an applicant receives an award. For example, Disability
recipients must engage in a planning period; Abuse Later in Life recipients must attend the training of
12
trainers and redeliver the curriculum provided to each recipient; Transitional Housing recipients are
expected to provide at least six months of services. These requirements are NOT documents. This
section is designed to inform applicants of expectations if they receive an award. This section is NOT
connected to Basic Minimum Requirements (BMR) and does not address eligibility requiremen ts.
These are activities that recipients must engage in and should be stated briefly here with a crossreference to additional information in the Proposal Narrative section (what will be done, MOU, etc.)
Work with attorneys to include statutory citations where applicable.] Applicants that receive funding
under this program will be required to engage in the following activities:
1. Participate in OVW-sponsored training and technical assistance (TTA).
2. Collect and report performance indicators. Forms, instructions, training, and related tools for
each OVW program are available on the VAWA Measuring Effectiveness Initiative webpage.
3. Participate in an assessment or evaluation, if OVW conducts one that requires recipient
involvement.
4. [insert program specific requirements].
Program-Specific Unallowable Costs
Applications proposing activities described below may have points deducted during the review
process or may be removed from consideration.
Activities that Compromise Victim Safety and Recovery or Undermine Offender Accountability
OVW will not fund activities that compromise victim safety and recovery, deter healing for victims,
and/or undermine offender accountability. See the Application Companion Guide for more details
about these activities, including program-specific information. [Note: Units should review their
program-specific list in the Companion Guide to make sure it is current; in addition, units may add to
the Proposal Narrative section appropriate language describing activities that are permitted as long
as they do not compromise victim safety or undermine offender accountability, such as restorative
practices, abusive partner intervention programs, or any other activities that make sense for this
funding opportunity.]
Out-of-Scope Activities
The activities listed below are out of the program scope and will not be funded.
1. Research projects. Funds under this program may not be used to conduct research, defined by
28 C.F.R. § 46.102(d) as a systematic investigation designed to develop or contribute to
generalizable knowledge. However, assessments conducted for internal improvement
purposes only may be allowable. For information on distinguishing between research and
assessments, see the Application Companion Guide.
2. Promoting or facilitating the violation of federal immigration law.
3. Inculcating or promoting gender ideology as defined in Executive Order 14168, Defending
Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal
Government.
13
4. Promoting or facilitating discriminatory programs or ideology, including illegal DEI and
“diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” programs that do not advance the policy of equal
dignity and respect, as described in Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and
Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. This prohibition is not intended to interfere with any of
OVW’s statutory obligations, such as funding for HBCUs, culturally specific services, and
disability programs.
5. Activities that frame domestic violence or sexual assault as systemic social justice issues
rather than criminal offenses (e.g., prioritizing criminal justice reform or social justice theories
over victim safety and offender accountability).
6. Generic community engagement or economic development without a clear link to violence
prevention, victim safety, or offender accountability.
7. Programs that discourage collaboration with law enforcement or oppose or limit the role of
police, prosecutors, or immigration enforcement in addressing violence against women.
8. Awareness campaigns or media that do not lead to tangible improvements in prevention, victim
safety, or offender accountability.
9. Initiatives that prioritize illegal aliens over U.S. citizens and legal residents in receiving victim
services and support.
10. Excessive funding for consulting fees, training, administrative costs, or other expenses not
related to measurable violence prevention, victim support, and offender accountability.
11. Any activity or program that unlawfully violates an Executive Order.
12. [insert program specific information].
Note: Recipients should serve all eligible victims as required by statute, regulation, or award
condition.
Other Unallowable Costs
Grant funds under this program also may not be used for the following costs:
1. Lobbying. [Note: add the following phrase for STOP, ICJR, Tribal Governments, Tribal
Coalitions, and JFF - “except with explicit statutory authorization”.]
2. Fundraising.
3. Purchase of real property.
4. Physical modifications to buildings, including minor renovations (such as painting or carpeting).
[modify for Disability, Campus, Tribal Jurisdiction, Tribal Governments and JFF]
5. Construction.
6. [insert program specific information].
14
Limited Use of Funds
Recipients of an award under this program may use up to [select one, two, or three] percent of the
funds to assess the need for internal improvements (e.g. convening listening sessions to identify
service gaps in the community; surveying participants about the quality of the training.) The OVW
research decision tree in the Application Companion Guide describes how applicants can ensure that
such assessments are not prohibited human subjects research.
Activities Requiring Prior Approval
[JFF, Disability, Tribal Jurisdiction, Tribal Governments, and Campus] OVW must approve the
following activities before recipients use grant funds to support them:
1. Surveys, regardless of their purpose, to ensure they are within the scope of the award and
meet the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act.
2. Renovations, including such minor activities as painting, carpeting, or installing lighting.
Recipients must also ensure that funded renovations comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and related laws, which may be time-consuming and
include public notice and consultation.
OR
[All other programs] Recipients must receive prior approval before using grant funds to support
surveys, regardless of their purpose, to ensure they are within the scope of the award and meet the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (see the Application Companion Guide for more
information).
Type of Award
Awards will be made as [grants or cooperative agreements]. [If making awards as cooperative
agreements then include (may be modified to fit the specific program): Cooperative agreements are a
type of award in which OVW expects to be substantially involved in planning and implementing the
project. Examples of substantial involvement are: participating in meetings, reviewing drafts of
products and plans, and helping select trainers, subject matter experts, and project sites. Recipients
must be willing to work closely with OVW and be willing to make changes at OVW’s request and/or
when new needs emerge.]

Budget and Associated Documentation
OVW awards are governed by the provisions of 2 C.F.R. Part 200 and the DOJ Financial Guide.
Applicants must submit a detailed budget and budget narrative and upload the applicable associated
documentation under each heading, as described below. The budget worksheet and budget narrative
will be reviewed separately from the Proposal Narrative. The associated documentation will not be
scored, but failure to include it may result in removal from consideration or a delay in access to
funding.
For additional information on budget requirements and allowable costs, see the Budget Information,
the Sample Budget Narrative (including Excel file), and the Creating a Budget webinar on the OVW
website.
Budget Worksheet and Budget Narrative
(XX points)
Applicants must upload in JustGrants a detailed budget and budget narrative for all applicable cost
categories. OVW strongly encourages using a spreadsheet (e.g., Excel, Numbers, etc.) for the budget
worksheet. The budget narrative must describe each line item requested in the budget and explain all
18
costs included in the budget, including how the costs of goods and services are determined and how
they will fulfill the objectives of the project. Budgetary requirements vary among programs. The
budget should be reasonable and based on the resources needed to implement the proposed project
in the applicant’s specific geographic location.
Award Period and Amounts
The award period is [insert number] months. Budgets, including the total “estimated funding” on the
SF-424, must reflect [insert number] months of project activity. OVW anticipates that the award period
will start on October 1, 2025.
Awards under this program for FY 2025 will be made for up to [insert maximum individual award
amount(s)].
OR
Funding levels under this program for FY 2025 are:
1. [insert applicant type, sub-type and funding level].
2. [insert additional information as necessary].
OVW has the discretion to make awards for greater or lesser amounts than requested and to
negotiate the scope of work and budget with applicants before making an award or after an award is
made but prior to access to funds.
The budget must:
1. Present a clear link between the specific project activities and the proposed budget items. The
budget should not contain items that are not supported by the Proposal Narrative.
2. Fairly and reasonably compensate all project partners for their full level of effort, unless
otherwise stated in the [MOU/EMOU/LOS]. [Note: each program should edit this requirement
to make it fit].
3. Include sufficient funds [units may change this to a specific amount] to provide language
access, identify other funds that the applicant has budgeted for language access for this
project, or describe other resources that the applicant has secured to ensure meaningful
access for persons with limited English proficiency. See the Accessibility section of this NOFO
for more information.
4. Include sufficient funds [units may change this to a specific amount] to provide access for
people with disabilities or who are Deaf/hard of hearing, identify other funds that the applicant
has budgeted for such access for this project, or describe other resources that the applicant
has secured to ensure meaningful access for such people. See the Accessibility section of this
NOFO for more information.
5. Include funds to attend OVW-sponsored TTA in the amount of [$XX] for applicants located in
the 48 contiguous states and [$XX] for applicants located in Puerto Rico, Guam, American
Samoa, the Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Hawaii, and Alaska. [Note: programs
should evaluate annually the amount of money set aside for TA travel and decrease where
appropriate to maximize funds for services while retaining necessary funds for TA.] This
amount is for the entire [insert project period] and NOT per year. Applicants also may budget
expenses in excess of the required amount if they are aware of relevant non -OVW sponsored
19
conferences or training for which they would like permission to use grant funds to support
staff/project partner attendance. [Note: programs may modify the previous sentence to match
program training and travel priorities].
6. [insert program specific information; note that each item added should start with a verb that
flows from the text introducing this list – “The budget must:”].
7. Distinguish clearly between subawards and contracts in allocating any grant funds to other
entities.
a. Pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.331, a subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a portion
of the federal award, such as compensating an MOU partner; a contract is for the
purpose of obtaining goods and services for the recipient’s use.
b. The substance of the relationship is more important than the form of the agreement in
determining whether the entity receiving federal funds is a subrecipient or a contractor.
c. The awarding and monitoring of contracts must follow the recipient’s documented
procurement procedures, including full and open competition, pursuant to the
procurement standards and oversight requirements in 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.317-200.327.
d. The issuance and monitoring of subawards must meet the requirements of 2 C.F.R. §§
200.328-200.329 & 200.332, which includes oversight of subrecipient spending and
overall performance to ensure that the goals of the subaward are achieved.
For more information on distinguishing between subawards and contracts, see the Budget
Information, the Sample Budget Narrative, and the Application Companion Guide.
Food and Beverage/Costs for Refreshments and Meals
Recipients must receive prior approval before using grant funds to provide a working meal and/or
refreshments at a meeting, conference, training, or other event. Food and beverages are generally
considered personal expenses for which government funds should not be used. Exceptions may be
made for working meals that are necessary to accomplish official business and enhance the cost
effectiveness of the meeting or conference. Examples include, but are not limited to:
1. The location of the event is not in close proximity to food establishments, despite efforts to
secure a location near reasonably priced and accessible commercial food establishments.
2. Failure to serve food will significantly lengthen the day or necessitate extending the meeting to
achieve meeting outcomes.
3. A special presentation at a conference requires a plenary address where there is no other time
for food to be obtained.
4. Other extenuating circumstances necessitate the provision of food.
Justification for an exception listed above must be included in the applicant’s budget narrative,
including relevant details about the applicant’s community, such as a rural or remote location. For
additional information on restrictions on food and beverage expenditures, see OVW Conference
Costs Guidelines (posted on the OVW website).
20
[Note: for programs using cooperative agreements only: Budget clearance does not constitute prior
approval of food and beverage costs. Recipients must seek approval of these costs through the OVW
conference approval process.]
Conference Planning and Expenditure Limitations
Applicants’ budgets must be consistent with all requirements (including specific cost limits and prior
approval and reporting requirements, where applicable) governing the use of federal funds for
expenses related to conferences (which is defined to include meetings, retreats, seminars,
symposiums, training, and other similar events), and costs of attendance at such events. Information
on conference planning, minimization of costs, and conference reporting is available at OVW
Conference Planning.
[Note: for programs using cooperative agreements only: Budget clearance does not constitute prior
approval to hold a conference. Recipients must seek approval of these costs through the conference
approval process.]
Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (If applicable) [Note: revise for Campus]
Applicants that intend to charge indirect costs through the use of a negotiated indirect cost rate must
have a current, signed, federally approved indirect cost rate agreement and must upload and attach a
copy of the agreement to their application in JustGrants. Applicants that do not have a current federal
negotiated indirect cost rate (including provisional rate), may elect to charge a de minimis rate of up
to 15% of modified total direct costs (MTDC).
Organizations that wish to negotiate an indirect cost rate should contact OVW’s Grants Financial
Management Division at [email protected] or 1-888-514-8556 for more information.
Financial Capability Questionnaire (if applicable)
[Note: use for all programs except Tribal Jurisdiction, Abby Honold, Cybercrimes, Electronic Service
of Protection Orders, TSAUSA]
All nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations that apply for funding from OVW and have not previously
(or within the last three years) received funding from OVW must complete an Applicant Financial
Capability Questionnaire and attach it to their application in JustGrants. In addition, applicants may be
required to submit their current year’s audit report at a later time.
Nonprofits Only: Disclosure of Process for Setting Executive Compensation (if applicable)
[Note: use for all programs except Tribal Jurisdiction, Abby Honold, Cybercrimes, Electronic Service
of Protection Orders, TSAUSA].
Nonprofit organizations that use the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) Safe Harbor Procedure
(described below) must submit a special disclosure to OVW (required by 34 U.S.C. §
12291(b)(15)(B)(iii)). All other applicants may skip this section.
21
IRS Safe Harbor Procedure: A nonprofit organization that provides unreasonably high
compensation to certain executives may subject both the organization’s managers and those who
receive the compensation to additional federal taxes. However, the IRS may treat executive
compensation levels as reasonable if the nonprofit organization satisfies certain rules set out in IRS
regulations. These rules concern the organization’s process for making compensation decisions
and are known as the “three-step safe-harbor procedure” to create a “rebuttable presumption” of
reasonableness for compensation of an organization’s executives. See 26 C.F.R. § 53.4958-6.
The special disclosure must describe the process the applicant uses to determine the
compensation of its officers, directors, trustees, and key employees. At a minimum it must describe
(terms explained in IRS regulations are in italics):
1. the composition of the body that reviews and approves compensation arrangements for
officers, directors, trustees, and key employees (covered individuals);
2. the methods and practices used by the organization to ensure that no individual with a
conflict of interest participates in such review and approval;
3. the appropriate data as to comparability (obtained in advance) that the body uses to review
and approve compensation arrangements for covered individuals; and
4. the records the applicant maintains as concurrent and adequate documentation of the
body’s decisions related to compensation, including records of deliberations and of the basis
for decisions.
The disclosure must be uploaded as an attachment to the application in JustGrants, titled
"Disclosure of Process Related to Executive Compensation." A sample disclosure is available on
the OVW website.
Note: OVW is required by law to make the applicant’s disclosure available for public inspection, if
requested. In addition, if funded, the applicant must update its disclosure in certain circumstances
(e.g., if it changes the way it determines compensation).
Memorandum of Understanding and Supporting Documents
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) (XX points) [change this subheading if needed]
The MOU is a document containing the terms of the partnership and the allocation of roles and
responsibilities between two or more parties, and it must be included as an attachment to the
application in JustGrants. The MOU is not a substitute for a subaward agreement, which ensures that
subrecipients adhere to the requirements of the award and 2 C.F.R. Part 200 (see 2 C.F.R. §
200.332). Partners receiving funds under the award generally are considered subrecipients because
they are carrying out a portion of the federal award.
The MOU must be a single document developed specifically for this application . It must be signed
and currently dated by the Authorized Representative of each proposed partner organization. [Note:
the previous sentence should be modified for Campus] OVW will accept electronic signatures. MOUs
missing signatures may result in a point deduction or removal from consideration, particularly if
the MOU is missing the signature of a required partner. If necessary, an MOU can include
22
multiple signature pages so long as each page includes the names and titles of all signatories to the
MOU. A sample MOU is available on the OVW website.
The MOU must clearly:
1. Identify the project partners and provide a brief history of the collaborative relationship
between those partners, including when and under what circumstances the collaborative
relationship began and when each partner entered into the relationship.
2. Describe the roles and responsibilities each partner will assume to ensure the success of the
proposed project.
3. State that each project partner has reviewed the budget, is aware of the total amount being
requested, and is being equitably compensated for their work under the grant or is agreeing to
be partially compensated or receive no compensation from the grant.
4. [insert program specific information].
Letter(s) of Support (XX points)
[insert program specific language or delete subheading if not applicable; also modify subheading as
needed and add subheadings for any additional supporting documents (e.g., EMOU, IMOU, MOI,
MOE, LOS, or LOC), including point values for each item, if any]
The [LOC/EMOU/IMOU/MOI/MOE/LOS] must clearly:
1. [insert program specific information].
Additional Application Components
The following documents will not be scored but must be uploaded and attached to the application in
JustGrants. Failure to do so will/may result in the application being removed from consideration.
[Modify the previous sentence if it’s not true for any of the items listed below; either (1) state which
ones will result in removal and which ones we will go back to them for, or (2) change “will result in” to
“may result in”).]
Certification Regarding Out-of-Scope Activities
Applicants must attach a letter to OVW’s Director, signed by the Authorized Representative, certifying
that grant funds will not be used for the following out-of-scope activities:
1. Promoting or facilitating the violation of federal immigration law.
2. Inculcating or promoting gender ideology as defined in Executive Order 14168, Defending
Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal
Government.
3. Promoting or facilitating discriminatory programs or ideology, including illegal DEI and
“diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” programs that do not advance the policy of equal
dignity and respect, as described in Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and
Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity. This prohibition is not intended to interfere with any of
23
OVW’s statutory obligations, such as funding for HBCUs, culturally specific services, and
disability programs.
4. Activities that frame domestic violence or sexual assault as systemic social justice issues
rather than criminal offenses (e.g., prioritizing criminal justice reform or social justice theories
over victim safety and offender accountability).
5. Generic community engagement or economic development without a clear link to violence
prevention, victim safety, or offender accountability.
6. Programs that discourage collaboration with law enforcement or oppose or limit the role of
police, prosecutors, or immigration enforcement in addressing violence against women.
7. Awareness campaigns or media that do not lead to tangible improvements in prevention, victim
safety, or offender accountability.
8. Initiatives that prioritize illegal aliens over U.S. citizens and legal residents in receiving victim
services and support.
9. Excessive funding for consulting fees, training, administrative costs, or other expenses not
related to measurable violence prevention, victim support, and offender accountability.
10. Research projects. [Do not include for programs that fund research.]
11. Any activity or program that unlawfully violates an Executive Order.
Note: Nothing in this certification prohibits recipients from serving all eligible victims as required by
statute, regulation, or award condition.
Certification Regarding Compliance with Federal Immigration Law
State or local government applicants seeking priority consideration for compliance with federal
immigration law, including 8 U.S.C. § 1373, must submit a letter making this certification signed by

Grants.gov and on the OVW website. Applicants wishing to request a paper copy of these materials
should contact OVW at 202-[must include remainder of phone number and email address for office or
program].
Prior to Application Submission
Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and System for Award Management (SAM)
Entities applying for the first time must register with the following systems:
•
•
•
SAM.gov: Registration with SAM.gov includes receiving a UEI and takes an average of 2 to 3
weeks.
Grants.gov: Registration with Grants.gov takes an average of 1 week.
JustGrants: Registration with JustGrants needs to be completed ONLY after successful
submission of Step 1 of the application as described below under How to Apply.
Note: Registration time frames are estimates. Applicants experiencing registration challenges should
contact the system’s help desk and refer to the OVW Policy for Applicants Experiencing Technical
Difficulties During the Registration and Submission Processes section below for guidance on how to
proceed.
Entities that have previously applied for funding from DOJ must ensure their accounts with SAM,
Grants.gov, and JustGrants are active and up to date.
All applicants must maintain active registration in SAM.gov with current information whenever
they have a federal award or an application under consideration by a federal agency. It is the
applicant’s responsibility to ensure that they are registered with SAM.gov, Grants.gov, and
JustGrants. OVW strongly encourages all applicants to begin the registration process or ensure that
all accounts are active and up to date, by [insert date three weeks prior to the Grants.gov
application deadline]. Failure to do so may result in missing the application deadline and
therefore not being considered for funding.
27
How to Apply
Step 1:
Submit the SF-424, which is generated when the applicant begins the submission process in
Grants.gov. To view the form before completing it in Grants.gov, applicants should click the Package
tab under the funding opportunity for which they are applying and select Preview. Preview then
provides links to the form.
For Type of Applicant (box 9), do not select Other. The amount of federal funding requested in the
“Estimated Funding” section of this form (box 18a) should match the amount of federal funding
requested in the budget of the application. This program does not require a match; therefore, the
value for the Applicant line (box 18b) should be zero. The individual who is listed as “Authorized
Representative” (box 21) must have the authority to apply for and accept grant awards on behalf of
the organization or jurisdiction.
Intergovernmental Review (SF-424 Question 19): This funding opportunity is subject to Executive
Order (E.O.) 12372, Intergovernmental Review of Federal Programs. Applicants must check the
Office of Management and Budget’s website for the names and addresses of state Single Points of
Contact (SPOC) under Intergovernmental Review. If the applicant’s state appears on the SPOC list,
the applicant must contact the state SPOC to comply with the state’s process under E.O. 12372. In
completing the SF-424, the applicant must make the appropriate selection in response to question 19
once it has complied with its state E.O. 12372 process. An applicant whose state does not appear on
the SPOC list should answer question 19 by selecting the following response: “Program is subject to
E.O. 12372 but has not been selected by the state for review.”
OR
[Note: use for Tribal Governments Program, TSASP, Tribal Jurisdiction, TA, Workplace, Tribal SA
Clearinghouse, and R&E] Intergovernmental Review (SF-424 Question 19): This funding
opportunity is not subject to Intergovernmental Review under Executive Order (E.O.) 12372. In
completing the SF-424, an applicant is to answer question 19 by selecting the following response:
“Program is not covered by E.O. 12372.”
Step 2:
Submit the full application, including attachments, in JustGrants at https://justicegrants.usdoj.gov/.
Applicants begin Step 2 of the application submission process by reviewing the Standard Applicant
Information in JustGrants, making edits as needed, confirming the Authorized Representative,
verifying the legal name and address, and entering the ZIP code(s) for the areas affected by the
project. OVW encourages applicants to review the JustGrants website for more information,
resources, and training.
Tip: JustGrants functions better using a PC with Chrome or Edge web browser.
Note that the Grants.gov and JustGrants deadlines are typically only a few days apart.

OVW Policy for Applicants Experiencing Technical Difficulties
Technical difficulties are issues that are beyond the applicant’s control. OVW can confirm when each
registration and/or submission action began.
Technical difficulties with SAM.gov or Grants.gov
1. Contact SAM.gov or Grants.gov support as soon as the applicant is aware of a problem.
2. Maintain documentation of when the issue began and all communication with technical
support.
3. Before the Grants.gov deadline, notify the OVW contact by email, stating the applicant is
experiencing technical difficulties with SAM.gov or Grants.gov. The applicant should provide
regular updates to the OVW contact.
30
4. If the technical difficulty cannot be resolved before the Grants.gov deadline, the applicant must
notify the OVW contact by email before the Grants.gov deadline.
5. Once the Grants.gov deadline passes an applicant will not be able to apply in JustGrants.
Therefore, the applicant must email the complete application (SF-424, Proposal Narrative,
Budget and Budget Narrative, MOU [Note: insert other required documents]) and all
documentation confirming the technical difficulty to the OVW contact by the JustGrants
deadline.
Technical difficulties while applying in JustGrants
1. Contact OVW JustGrants Support at [email protected] or 866-655-4482 as
soon as the applicant is aware of a problem. OVW JustGrants Support is a separate Help
Desk from OJP and COPS and is dedicated to OVW applicants.
2. Maintain documentation of all communication with OVW JustGrants Support.
3. Work with OVW JustGrants Support to resolve the technical difficulty.
4. Email the OVW contact before the JustGrants deadline. If an applicant must submit their
application by email due to a technical difficulty, they must do so by the JustGrants deadline,
but no earlier than 4 hours prior to the deadline. The email must include the following:
•
A detailed description of the technical difficulty.
•
The contact information (name, telephone, and email) for the person making the request.
•
The applicant’s UEI number.
•
JustGrants application numbers and User Support tracking numbers.
•
The complete application (SF-424, Proposal Narrative, Budget and Budget Narrative, MOU
[Note: insert other required documents]).
OVW does not guarantee that applications submitted by email will be considered for funding, even if
the email is received before the JustGrants deadline. OVW will decide and notify applicants of the
decision within 30 days of the JustGrants deadline. OVW may then ask applicants to coordinate with
OVW to submit applications in Grants.gov and JustGrants.
OVW Policy on Late Submission Request Due to Severe Inclement Weather or Natural or Man -Made
Disaster
Cases of severe inclement weather or natural or man -made disaster are the only circumstances
under which OVW may accept applications after the deadline. In such circumstances:
1. Email the OVW contact listed in this NOFO as soon as the applicant is aware of severe
weather or disaster that may prevent the applicant from submitting the application on time. The
email should describe the weather event or disaster, including when it occurred or is likely to
occur, the impacted area, and the impact on the applicant and/or partners’ ability to ensure the
application is submitted before the deadline (e.g., without power for “x” days, office closed for
“x” days). If the application is complete and ready for submission at the time the applicant
notifies OVW, then attach the application to the email.
31
2. After following step 1, contact OVW within 48 hours after the deadline or as soon as
communications are restored.
Note: OVW may not be able to accommodate all requests.
Within 30 days of receiving a request for late submission, OVW will notify the applicant of a decision
to approve or deny it.
Application Review Information
Responsiveness Review
Criteria that make an application or project ineligible are listed in the Application Contents and
Eligibility sections of this NOFO. Additional information about circumstances that may result in
removal from consideration is provided below under Review and Selection Process and Risk Review.
Review Criteria
Applications will be scored based on the degree to which the application responds to each section
and addresses each element in the section. Applications will also be scored based upon the quality of
the response, capacity of the applicant and any partners, and the level of detail provided. Each
element must be addressed in the section in which it is requested. Points may be deducted if the
applicant does not include the information in the appropriate section even if it is included elsewhere
within the application. Each section will be reviewed as a separate document and will be scored as
such. Scoring details can be found in the Application Contents section of this NOFO.
Voluntary match or other cost sharing methods will not be considered in the evaluation of the
application.
Review and Selection Process
Applications will be subject to a peer review and a programmatic review.
Peer Review
OVW will subject all eligible, complete, and timely applications to a peer review process that is based
on the criteria outlined in this NOFO. OVW may use internal reviewers, external reviewers, or a
combination of both.
OVW peer reviewers may include victim advocates, judges, prosecutors, law enforcement officers,
legal professionals, and others with expertise in areas such as tribal communities, colleges and
universities, rural areas, urban areas, working with people with disabilities or older adults, and
providing services to victims, including transitional housing and services provided by community
organizations and the faith community. While some peer reviewers are expert consultants on violence
32
against women issues, the vast majority are current practitioners or recent retirees from the
professions mentioned above. To ensure that applications are reviewed by people with on -the-ground
experience responding to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking, OVW does
not use professional peer reviewers. All reviewers are required to adhere to OVW’s peer review
conflict of interest policy, which is designed to identify and resolve any issues that may call into
question a reviewer’s impartiality or objectivity regarding an application.
Programmatic Review
All applications that are considered for funding will be subject to a programmatic review. The
programmatic review consists of assessing the application for compliance with the program’s scope,
activities that compromise victim safety, and, if applicable, past performance and priority area review.
OVW reserves the right [to add up to 10 points to applications substantively addressing one or more
priorities,] [this is optional] [to add up to 10 points to applications submitted by states and local
governments that certify their compliance with federal immigration law] [this is mandatory for Rural,
ICJR, Abby Honold, Cybercrimes, and EIP] [, and] to deduct points from applications for the following
reasons:
1. Activities that compromise victim safety and recovery and undermine offender accountability
(deduct up to XX points).
2. Out-of-scope and unallowable activities (deduct up to XX points).
3. Past performance (deduct up to 25 points).
4. Formatting and Technical Requirements (deduct up to 5 points).
5. [Add any program specifics, including possible point additions]. [Note: if adding points in peer
review, remove from this list. JFF example of deducting points because the application
exceeds the limit on legal services would go here.]
An application that is substantially out-of-scope, proposes a substantial number of activities that are
unallowable, or proposes activities that pose a significant threat to victim safety or a serious breach of
confidentiality will not be considered for fu nding. An applicant with considerable past performance
issues may receive a deduction in points as listed above or be removed from consideration
regardless of the application’s peer review score.
Past Performance Review
As a part of the programmatic review process described above, applicants with current or recently
closed OVW awards under this program will be reviewed for past performance and risk, based on the
elements listed below.
1. Adherence to the grant program’s statutory purposes and requirements.
2. Implementation of the project according to plan, without significant obstacles and/or
challenges.
3. Implementation of the project within the original period of performance.
4. Drawdown of funds commensurate with the level of program activities completed.
5. Management of award such that applicant has had uninterrupted access to funds.
33
6. Attendance at/participation in all required OVW-sponsored training and technical assistance
events.
7. Timely resolution of issues identified during programmatic monitoring.
8. Completion of close-out of prior awards within 120 days of the project end date.
9. Timely resolution of issues necessary to close out prior awards.
10. Timely resolution of issues identified during financial monitoring.
11. Timely response to OVW requests.
12. Development of deliverables that support the project goals and objectives and are of
acceptable quality.
13. Implementation of the project as designed without unjustified modification.
14. Timely submission of federal financial reports (FFR).
15. Timely submission of performance reports.
16. Submission of complete and accurate performance reports.
17. Adherence to the terms and conditions of existing grant award(s) from OVW.
18. [insert program specific information]
Absent explicit statutory authorization or written delegation of authority to the contrary, all award
decisions will be made by the OVW Director, who also may consider factors including but not limited
to: geographic diversity, statutory considerations, applicable priorities, past performance, and
available funding when making awards. All award decisions are final and not subject to appeal.
Risk Review
Prior to making an award, OVW must evaluate the risk posed by applicants as described in 2 C.F.R.
§ 200.206(b), using the applicant’s responses to the questions listed in Appendix A. OVW also must
review and consider integrity and performance information about applicants that is available in
SAM.gov. Applicants may review and comment on information about themselves that another federal
awarding agency has previously entered. OVW considers the applicant’s comments as well as other
information available in SAM.gov in making its judgment about the risk posed by making an award to
the applicant.
High-Risk Recipients
Based on DOJ’s assessment of each recipient’s current or past funding, unresolved audit issues,
delinquent programmatic and fiscal reporting, and prior performance, a recipient may be designated
“high-risk.” Awards to high-risk recipients may carry special conditions such as increased monitoring
and/or prohibitions on drawing down funds until certain requirements are met. High -risk recipients
with substantial or persistent performance or compliance issues, long-standing open audits, or open
criminal investigations may not be considered for funding.
34
Award Notices
OVW notifies applicants through JustGrants (not Grants.gov) when they receive an award.
Successful applicants then log into JustGrants to review and accept the award. The Authorized
Representative must acknowledge that they have read and understood all sections of the award
instrument and they must submit the required declaration and certification to accept the award. These
steps must be completed electronically in JustGrants.
By the anticipated decision notification date in the Key Dates section of this NOFO, unsuccessful
applicants will receive a letter addressed to their Authorized Representative with information on how
to receive feedback on their application.
Availability of Funds
All awards are subject to the availability of appropriated funds as well as any modifications or
additional requirements imposed by law. There is no guarantee that funds will be available in the
future. Depending on availability of funding and an application’s merit, OVW may fund an application
not selected under this funding opportunity in a future fiscal year or under another OVW program.
Post-Award Requirements and Administration
Administrative, National Policy, and Other Legal Requirements
Applicants selected for awards must agree to comply with additional legal, administrative, and
national policy requirements. OVW strongly encourages applicants to review the information
pertaining to these additional requirements prior to submitting an application. This information can be
found in the section of the Application Companion Guide entitled “Requirements for All OVW
Applicants and Recipients.”
Terms and conditions for OVW awards are available on the OVW website. These terms are subject to
change prior to the issuance of the awards.
[Use for STOP, Abby Honold, Local Law Enforcement Grants for Cybercrimes, Rural, ICJR, EIP:]
Awards may include a requirement for recipients to certify compliance with all applicable federal law,
including but not limited to 8 U.S.C. § 1373.
Civil Rights and Accessibility
Recipients must comply with applicable federal civil rights laws and nondiscrimination provisions.
Taken together, these federal laws prohibit recipients from discriminating either in employment
(subject to an exemption for certain faith -based organizations) or in the delivery of services or benefits
based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, or disability, and in the delivery of services or
benefits based on age. In addition, VAWA, as amended, includes a nondiscrimination provision that
covers any program or activity funded in whole or in part by OVW. 34 U.S.C. § 12291(b)(13)(A).
Sex-specific Programming
Recipients may provide sex-segregated or sex-specific programming if doing so is necessary for the
essential operation of a program (e.g., in the case of women’s safety), so long as the recipient
35
provides comparable services to those who cannot be provided with the sex-segregated or sexspecific programming. Id. § 12291(b)(13)(B). More information on these obligations is available in the
Application Companion Guide.
Compliance with federal civil rights laws includes taking reasonable steps to ensure that persons with
limited English proficiency (LEP individuals) have meaningful access to recipients’ programs and
activities and to ensure that their programs and activities are readily accessible to people with
disabilities, as well as people who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Serving victims effectively and
supporting their safety and recovery requires programs to be accessible to people with
disabilities and those who are Deaf or hard of hearing, to provide language access to LEP
individuals, to ensure that any sex-segregated or sex-specific services are comparable, and
generally to serve all survivors free from discrimination.
Post-Award Reporting Requirements
OVW recipients must submit semi-annual performance reports and quarterly Federal Financial
Reports (SF-425). Performance report forms will be provided to all award recipients. Forms will be
submitted electronically. Future awards and fund drawdowns may be withheld if reports are
delinquent. For more information on post-award reporting requirements, including requirements for
certain recipients to report information on civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings in SAM, see
the Application Companion Guide and the award condition on recipient integrity and performance
matters available on the OVW website.
Other Information
Public Reporting Burden - Paperwork Reduction Act Notice
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to respond to a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. OVW tries to create forms and instructions
that are accurate, easily understood, and not unnecessarily burdensome. The estimated average time
to complete and file this form is 30 hours. Comments regarding the accuracy of this estimate or
suggestions for simplifying this form can be submitted to the Office on Violence Against Women, U.S.
Department of Justice, 145 N Street, NE, Washington, DC 20530.
Note: Any materials submitted as part of an application may be released pursuant to a request
under the Freedom of Information Act.
