Abstract: The Office on Violence
Against Women (OVW) administers
financial support and technical
assistance to communities around the
country that are creating programs,
policies, and practices aimed at ending
domestic violence, dating violence,
sexual assault and stalking. Its mission
is to provide national leadership to
improve the Nation’s response to these
crimes through the implementation of
the Violence Against Women Act of
1994 (VAWA) as amended and
reauthorized in 2000, 2005, 2013 and
2022. OVW pursues this mission by
supporting community efforts,
enhancing education and training,
disseminating best practices, launching

special initiatives, and leading the
Nation’s efforts to end violence against
women.
Currently, OVW administers
discretionary grant programs and
formula grant programs, all of which
were established under VAWA and
subsequent legislation. Since its
inception in 1995, OVW has awarded
billions in grant funding and
cooperative agreements and has
launched a multifaceted approach to
implementing VAWA. These grant
programs are designed to develop the
nation’s capacity to reduce domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, and stalking by strengthening
services to victims and holding
offenders accountable for their action.
OVW posts notice of funding
opportunities (NOFO) (previously
referred to as solicitations), closes
NOFO periods, performs initial internal
reviews, conducts peer reviews, makes
funding decisions and ultimately makes
awards on a staggered basis by grant
program according to a master calendar
that ensures that grant awards are made
in a timely manner in a specific fiscal
year. The date of the posting of a NOFO
is set by working backwards from the
date that OVW is required to award
grant funds.
OVW developed a NOFO template
and an accompanying NOFO Guide to
assist potential grantees in applying for
current OVW programs. The NOFO
template ensures that all applicants to
OVW grant programs will be asked to
provide uniform information in a
consistent manner. The information
addressed in the template includes:
Application for Federal Assistance;
Summary Data Sheet; Proposal Abstract;
Summary of Other Federal Funding;
Proposal Narrative; Budget Worksheet
and Narrative; Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU); Letter of
Nonsupplanting; Financial Capability
Questionnaire; and Indirect Cost Rate
Agreement and additional items. Each
NOFO is tailored to address the specific
OVW grant program so that
organizations, and non-profit,
nongovernmental organizations. The
purpose of the NOFO template is to
provide a framework to develop
program-specific announcements
soliciting applications for funding. A
program NOFO outlines the specifics of
the funding program; describes the
requirements for eligibility; instructs an
applicant on the necessary components
of an application under a specific
program (e.g., project activities and
timeline, proposed budget): and
provides registration dates, due dates,
and instructions on how to apply within
the designated application system.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: It is estimated that information
will be collect annually from the
approximately 1,800 respondents
(applicants to the OVW grant programs).
The public reporting burden for this
collection of information is estimated at
up to 30 hours per application. The 30hour estimate is based on the amount of
time to prepare a narrative, budget and
other materials for the application and,
if required, to coordinate with and
develop a memorandum of
understanding with requisite project
partners.
6. An estimate of the total annual
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the data collection forms is
54,000 hours, that is 1,800 applicants
completing an application for funding
which is estimated to take 30 hours.
7. The total annual hour burden to
complete the data collection forms is
54,000 hours, that is 1,800 applicants
completing a form twice a year with an
estimated completion time for the form
being 30 hours.
8. An estimate of the total annual cost
burden associated with the collection, if
applicable: The annualized costs to the
Federal Government resulting from the
OVW staff review of the progress reports
submitted by grantees are estimated to
be $201,600.
identification of eligible applicants,
availability of funds, award period,
award amount, program scope, activities
that may compromise victim safety and
recovery or undermine offender
accountability and unallowable
activities will be consistent with the
statutory requirements and funding
amounts authorized for each particular
grant program.
