Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 91006
The OVC FY 2021 Expanding Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Services to Victims of Sexual Assault opportunity is a discretionary Department of Justice grant (Office for Victims of Crime) designed to strengthen how communities respond to sexual assault by improving access to high-quality sexual assault medical forensic exams and related victim-centered services. The overall aim is to expand the availability and consistency of trauma-informed, clinically sound, and forensically appropriate care for victims of sexual assault, while also supporting broader DOJ priorities such as civil rights, access to justice, public safety, and trust between communities and the systems meant to serve them.
At its core, the solicitation supports projects that either establish or expand sexual assault examination programs, including Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) programs and Sexual Assault Forensic Examiner (SAFE) programs. The emphasis is not only on increasing the number of trained examiners and exam sites, but also on improving the quality of care and the coordination around that care. The opportunity highlights a community-based approach, meaning applicants are encouraged to build programs that are closely connected to local victim services and community partners. Examples referenced include approaches rooted in campus communities, nonprofit or community-based victim service providers, and tribe-affiliated victim service providers. In practice, this points toward coordinated models where medical providers, advocacy organizations, and other responders work together so victims can access timely exams, supportive services, and informed options without being retraumatized by the process.
In addition to direct funding for program expansion, the solicitation also sets aside support for one award focused on technical assistance. That technical assistance provider is expected to assist all recipients funded under the main program area (Purpose Area 1) as well as Fiscal Year 2020 OVC SANE Campus grantees. This is meant to raise the overall performance and consistency of the national portfolio by offering shared guidance, training, tools, and problem-solving support across sites implementing or strengthening SANE/SAFE services.
Administratively, this opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period (for example, coordination on deliverables, participation in learning communities, or structured technical assistance expectations). The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services under CFDA 16.560. The funding opportunity number is O-OVC-2021-91006. The posting date was April 30, 2021, with an original application deadline of June 15, 2021.
Eligibility is intentionally broad to reflect the many systems involved in sexual assault response. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; special district governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). The listing also includes an “Others” category with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation, signaling that OVC anticipated some applicants might fall outside standard categories depending on structure or partnerships.
Funding levels indicate a sizable investment with an award ceiling of $1,600,000. OVC anticipated making approximately 11 awards. Taken together, the scale and structure suggest OVC intended to support multiple communities in building or significantly strengthening sustainable SANE/SAFE capacity, while also ensuring that grantees receive centralized technical assistance to improve implementation quality and outcomes.
Overall, the grant is aimed at increasing both the quantity and the quality of sexual assault services by helping communities build stronger, victim-centered sexual assault examination programs and better-connected response systems, with an added technical assistance component to spread effective practices and support grantee success nationwide.Apply for O OVC 2021 91006
