Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14120
The OVC FY 2018 National Joint Training Conference for VOCA Victim Assistance and Victim Compensation Administrators (2019 - 2021) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), intended to strengthen state-level administration of the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) victim assistance and victim compensation programs. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the recipient will not only carry out the work but will also coordinate closely with OVC throughout planning and implementation.
The core purpose of the project is to plan and support a set of major training events for state VOCA Victim Assistance and Victim Compensation Administrators and their staff across a three-year period. Specifically, the successful applicant is expected to support two national VOCA training conferences (scheduled for 2019 and 2021) and a set of regional training conferences in 2020. These events are designed to deliver training and technical assistance while also creating structured opportunities for states to share practical approaches, highlight emerging issues, and exchange lessons learned from administering VOCA-funded programs.
The conferences are expected to include multiple formats that encourage both skill-building and peer exchange, such as lectures, panels, workshops, and forums. In practice, that implies a mix of plenary-style sessions for broad policy or program updates, interactive workshops focused on implementation challenges, and discussion forums where administrators can surface state issues and compare approaches. The overall intent is to improve program quality and consistency, support effective administration and oversight, and elevate promising practices from the field.
OVC anticipated making a single award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of up to $600,000 total over the full project period. The funding level was described as up to $200,000 per year across a three-year period of performance. The project period was set to begin on October 1, 2018, aligning with the federal fiscal year timeline, and the application deadline was June 26, 2018. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 16.582 and is categorized under Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, reflecting its focus on improving victim services infrastructure through training and coordination.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the solicitation’s additional eligibility information. Administrative details for the opportunity include the funding opportunity number OVC-2018-14120 and a creation date of May 22, 2018, which places the posting shortly before the late-June closing date. Overall, the solicitation funds one organization to serve as the primary planner and support entity for these national and regional convenings, with the goal of building capacity among the state administrators responsible for VOCA victim assistance and compensation efforts.Apply for OVC 2018 14120
