Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2017 11901
The OVW FY 2017 Training and Services to End Violence Against Women with Disabilities Grant Program is a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), under the authority of 42 U.S.C. 14043g. It is designed to help communities and organizations make lasting, systemic improvements in how they prevent and respond to violence against people with disabilities and Deaf individuals. The central aim is not just to add short-term services, but to create sustainable change within organizations and across local systems so that victims can access meaningful, safe, and effective help, and so that offenders are more likely to be held accountable.
At its core, the program focuses on strengthening the capacity of service providers and partner agencies to respond to individuals with disabilities and Deaf individuals who have experienced sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking. The grant emphasizes improving accessibility and effectiveness, recognizing that many survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors face layered barriers such as communication obstacles, limited physical accessibility, service environments that are not trauma-informed or disability-informed, and gaps in coordination between victim service organizations, disability service organizations, and criminal justice partners. Funds are intended to help grantees address these barriers by building organizational readiness and by improving real-world service delivery so survivors can safely seek support without being turned away or placed at additional risk.
A key feature of the opportunity is its focus on multidisciplinary collaboration. Grant funds are meant to establish new collaborative relationships or strengthen existing ones among organizations that may include victim service providers, disability service organizations, Deaf-serving organizations, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, healthcare providers, and other community-based partners. By encouraging coordinated approaches, OVW is aiming to reduce fragmented responses and ensure that survivors are not forced to navigate complex systems alone. Collaboration is treated as a practical strategy for improving outcomes, such as more consistent referrals, better communication accommodations, more accessible safety planning, and stronger pathways for accountability.
The program also supports structured self-assessment and planning. Grantees are expected to identify needs within their own organizations and/or within their service areas, then develop a plan to address those needs in a way that lays a foundation for future work. This planning-oriented component reflects an emphasis on long-term infrastructure rather than one-off activities. In practice, that can include examining policies, procedures, training gaps, accessibility of facilities and materials, intake processes, confidentiality practices, and how well services meet the needs of survivors with varying disabilities and communication needs.
This funding opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically means OVW anticipates having substantial involvement during the project period, such as providing guidance, technical assistance expectations, or structured collaboration on project goals. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.529 and falls under funding activity categories that include Education and Other (as specified in the opportunity). The award ceiling was listed at $500,000, with an anticipated 10 awards, suggesting a competitive national program supporting a limited number of substantial projects.
Eligible applicants included state governments, county governments, federally recognized tribal governments, other tribal organizations, and nonprofit organizations with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). The opportunity was created on December 15, 2016, and had an original closing date of January 26, 2017. Overall, the grant is best understood as an OVW initiative to help organizations and communities build durable, coordinated, and accessible responses for survivors with disabilities and Deaf survivors, improving safety, access to services, and system accountability in cases of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.Apply for OVW 2017 11901
