Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2020 18274
The OVW FY 2020 National Violence Against Women Law Enforcement Training and Technical Assistance Consortium (NLETC) Call for Concept Papers is a U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) discretionary funding opportunity designed to strengthen how law enforcement agencies respond to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The program centers on building and delivering training and technical assistance (often referred to as TTA) for a wide range of law enforcement audiences, including state, tribal, territorial, and local agencies as well as both sworn officers and civilian staff. The overall goal is to improve the quality, consistency, and effectiveness of law enforcement responses and investigations in ways that better protect victims, support safer outcomes, and contribute to cases that can be successfully prosecuted when victims choose to engage with the justice system.
At the heart of this opportunity is OVW's emphasis on victim-centered law enforcement practice. In practical terms, that means the consortium funded under this initiative is expected to help agencies adopt approaches that prioritize victim safety, respect victim autonomy, reduce retraumatization during reporting and investigation, and connect victims to appropriate resources. The training and assistance supported by the NLETC are intended to strengthen investigations and improve coordination so that responses are not only compassionate and trauma-informed, but also procedurally sound and evidentiary strong, which can increase the likelihood of accountability and legal remedies. The program description also highlights the importance of empowering victims to heal and pursue safety and justice, reinforcing that effective policing in these cases should be aligned with survivor needs rather than narrowly focused on incident processing.
A specific additional focus of this consortium is providing targeted TTA to tribal law enforcement on sex trafficking. This reflects an intent to address trafficking-related enforcement challenges in tribal communities with tailored support that recognizes tribal jurisdictional complexity, resource constraints, and the need for culturally responsive strategies. By explicitly naming tribal law enforcement and sex trafficking, the opportunity signals that the consortiums work should include specialized content, targeted outreach, and assistance that is relevant to the realities of tribal policing and the distinct legal and operational contexts in which tribal agencies operate.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a cooperative agreement, which typically means OVW anticipates substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as collaboration on deliverables, priorities, and coordination. The opportunity is listed under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category and carries CFDA number 16.526. Eligible applicants include state governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education within that nonprofit category as stated in the eligibility line). OVW expected to make a single award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000, indicating the intent to fund one national consortium capable of delivering broad training and technical assistance capacity across jurisdictions.
Key dates included a creation date of February 26, 2020, and an original closing date of April 28, 2020. In summary, this grant opportunity sought one well-positioned organization or partnership structure to operate a national consortium that equips law enforcement with improved policies, skills, and practices to respond to and investigate domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in a victim-centered way, while also delivering specialized support to tribal law enforcement on sex trafficking.Apply for OVW 2020 18274
