Act of 1994 (VAWA) and reauthorized
and amended by the Violence Against
Women Acts of 2000, 2005 and 2013. Its
purpose is to promote a coordinated,
multi-disciplinary approach to
improving the criminal justice system’s
response to violence against women.
The STOP Formula Grants Program
envisions a partnership among law
enforcement, prosecution, courts, and
victim advocacy organizations to
enhance victim safety and hold
offenders accountable for their crimes of
violence against women. OVW
administers the STOP Formula Grants
Program. The grant funds must be
distributed by STOP state
administrators to subgrantees according
to a statutory formula.
OVW is proposing revisions to the
progress reporting form to reflect
statutory changes as a result of the
reauthorization of VAWA grant
programs in 2013 which added seven
new purpose areas: Developing and
promoting legislation and policies to
enhance best practices for responding to
domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault, and stalking; developing
Sexual Assault Response Teams and
related coordinated community
responses to sexual assault; improving
investigation and prosecution of sexual
assault cases and appropriate treatment
of victims; responding to sexual assault
against men, women, and youth in
correctional settings; responding to
backlogs of sexual assault evidence
including developing protocols and
policies for notifying and involving
victims; improving responses to male
and female victims whose ability to
access traditional services and
responses is affected by their sexual
orientation or gender identity; and
supporting prevention or educational
programming (limited to five percent of
the award amount). The reauthorization
also ensured that domestic violence,
dating violence, sexual assault, and
stalking are included in all the statutory
purpose areas and added legal
assistance in purpose area for ‘‘victim
assistance’’.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the 56 respondents (STOP
administrators) approximately one hour
to complete an annual progress report.
It is estimated that it will take
approximately one hour for roughly
2500 subgrantees 1 to complete the
1 Each year the number of STOP subgrantees
changes. The number 2,500 is based on the number
of reports that OVW has received in the past from
STOP subgrantees.

subgrantees may engage in and the
different types of subgrantees that
