Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVW 2022 171354
The OVW Fiscal Year 2022 Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction (STCJ) Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Solicitation is a discretionary Department of Justice funding opportunity from the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) focused on building practical, on-the-ground capacity for Tribes and Tribal partners that want to plan for, implement, and actively exercise Special Tribal Criminal Jurisdiction. Rather than funding direct services or a typical program expansion, this award sits under OVW's broader Training and Technical Assistance Initiative (authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(11) and listed under CFDA 16.526). The core idea is to provide targeted training, tools, and technical support so existing and prospective OVW grantees and subrecipients can carry out OVW-supported work more effectively, especially work that addresses domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. A major emphasis is strengthening the ability of justice system professionals and victim service providers to respond well to these crimes and to encourage collaboration among agencies and organizations that have not historically worked together.
This particular solicitation narrows that broad TTA mission to the OVW Tribal Jurisdiction program context and the specific legal and operational demands of STCJ. In practical terms, the funded project is meant to help Tribal communities and their justice systems prepare for and carry out STCJ in a way that is lawful, victim-centered, and coordinated across Tribal and (where relevant) non-Tribal systems. The work is aimed at supporting both current grantees and potential future applicants, which signals that OVW wanted the TTA provider to help Tribes at different stages: early planning, readiness assessment, policy development, implementation, and ongoing troubleshooting once jurisdiction is being exercised. The solicitation also includes an important boundary: applicants are instructed not to propose TTA for Alaska Tribes that are designated by the Attorney General as participating tribes under the Alaska Pilot Program (see 25 U.S.C. 1305), because OVW planned a separate solicitation to cover that group.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning OVW anticipated substantial involvement and collaboration with the selected recipient during the project period (as opposed to a more hands-off grant). The funding activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services. OVW expected to make one award, with an award ceiling of $615,000. The solicitation was created on June 28, 2022, and had an original closing date of July 26, 2022. Eligible applicants were broad and included federally recognized Tribal governments, Tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), with a category for "others" as clarified in the full eligibility section of the solicitation.
Finally, OVW framed this opportunity within its larger performance and accountability structure. The solicitation points applicants and stakeholders to OVW's program webpages and the VAWA Measuring Effectiveness Initiative materials for information on how OVW tracks outcomes and documents effective approaches, including examples highlighted in OVW's report to Congress on VAWA grant program effectiveness. In other words, the project was expected not only to deliver training and technical assistance, but to do so in a way that aligns with OVW's established goals, measurable objectives, and national strategy for improving responses to gender-based violence through stronger systems and partnerships.Apply for O OVW 2022 171354
