Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 91005
The OVC FY 2021 Advancing the Use of Technology to Assist Victims of Crime grant opportunity is a discretionary funding program run by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). Its central purpose is to help organizations develop and implement innovative technology-based approaches that improve how crime victims are reached and supported. The solicitation is framed within DOJ's broader mission of promoting civil rights, increasing access to justice, supporting victims, protecting the public from crime and emerging threats, and strengthening trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
This opportunity specifically targets projects that create, expand, or enhance the use of technology to interact directly with crime victims or to deliver victim services more effectively. The emphasis is on practical, victim-facing innovation: tools and platforms that can provide information, make referrals, offer crisis assistance, and support longer-term recovery needs. In other words, the funding is geared toward strengthening service delivery through technology, whether that means improving communication and access, making services easier to navigate, or providing support in ways that are more responsive to victims' needs and circumstances.
Awards are made through cooperative agreements, which typically means recipients should expect a more active federal role compared to a standard grant, such as ongoing collaboration, monitoring, and involvement by OVC in key aspects of the project. The program falls under the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services and is associated with CFDA number 16.582. The solicitation was created on April 29, 2021, with an original application deadline of June 14, 2021.
In terms of scale, OVC anticipated making about four awards under this solicitation, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $1,000,000 per award. Eligible applicants span a wide range of entities, reflecting OVC's intent to support technology solutions in multiple settings and communities. Eligibility includes state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; and nonprofit organizations both with and without IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories). The solicitation also notes an "Others" category, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. The funding opportunity number is O-OVC-2021-91005.Apply for O OVC 2021 91005
