Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2023 171843
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), within the U.S. Department of Justice, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "OVC FY 2023 Invited to Apply - Expanding Access to Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations Technical Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number: O-OVC-2023-171843). The purpose of this grant is to fund a single organization to serve as a national Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Provider in support of the OVC FY 2023 Expanding Access to Sexual Assault Forensic Examination (SAFE) Program. In practical terms, the funded provider is expected to help all SAFE Program award recipients implement their projects effectively by offering hands-on guidance, problem-solving support, and targeted capacity-building assistance.
The opportunity is framed within the broader goals of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), emphasizing work that advances civil rights and racial equity, improves access to justice, supports crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety, protects the public from evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and communities. This positioning signals that the technical assistance is not meant to be one-size-fits-all; it should be attentive to equity and access barriers that can affect survivors seeking sexual assault forensic examinations, including disparities tied to geography, race, ethnicity, and other community-specific factors.
A major deliverable beyond general technical assistance is the establishment of regional Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) training programs. That element indicates the awardee is expected not only to advise existing SAFE grantees, but also to strengthen the workforce and training infrastructure needed to expand access to high-quality sexual assault forensic exams. By developing regional training capacity, the project aims to increase the availability of clinicians with specialized expertise, which is often a limiting factor for communities trying to ensure timely, trauma-informed forensic care for survivors.
This is a cooperative agreement, which typically means OVC anticipates substantial involvement in the project’s direction and oversight compared to a standard grant. The program’s statutory authority is the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), under the State and Local Law Enforcement Assistance provisions. The Assistance Listing (CFDA) number is 16.053, and the activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, reflecting the victim services focus rather than purely law enforcement operations.
The solicitation anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $3,000,000, meaning the maximum funding amount for the single selected TTA Provider could be up to $3 million. The posting dates show the opportunity was created on July 25, 2023, with an original closing date of July 28, 2023, indicating a very short application window and reinforcing that it was an invited-to-apply competition rather than a broadly open solicitation. Eligibility is listed generally as "Others," with clarification referenced in the solicitation’s eligibility section, suggesting that OVC intended a limited applicant pool meeting specific qualifications aligned with national or regional technical assistance and SANE training capacity.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to centralize and strengthen implementation support for the FY 2023 SAFE Program by funding one specialized provider to deliver consistent, high-quality technical assistance across all SAFE grantees while also building regional SANE training pipelines to help address clinician shortages and improve survivor access to appropriate forensic examination services.Apply for O OVC 2023 171843
