Opportunity Information: Apply for O OVC 2021 77001
The OVC FY 2021 Invited to Apply - Tribal Victim Services Resources Mapping Project is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), aimed at strengthening how American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) crime victims find and connect to victim services. The central goal is to improve access to comprehensive, culturally relevant support by systematically gathering information on what victim services exist, where they are located, what populations they serve, and how people can be referred to them. Rather than focusing on direct service delivery, the project is designed to build the underlying infrastructure that makes services easier to locate and navigate, especially across complicated jurisdictional and geographic landscapes that often affect AI/AN communities.
The work described centers on collecting and organizing victim-service information across multiple levels of government and service systems, including tribal, state, regional, and federal resources. That information is then to be developed into a modern, state-of-the-art resource mapping and referral tool. A key expectation is that the tool will be published publicly in a user-friendly format, meaning it should be accessible and practical for the people who need it most, such as victims and survivors, advocates, victim service providers, and allied partners who help with referrals. In practice, this kind of mapping effort typically involves identifying existing programs, categorizing them in consistent ways (for example, by service type such as emergency shelter, counseling, legal advocacy, compensation assistance, or medical/forensic services), and ensuring the resulting directory can be searched and used efficiently.
The award is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the funding agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project period compared to a standard grant. The opportunity lists an award ceiling of $200,000, with one award expected. The opportunity was created on March 25, 2021, with an original closing date of April 27, 2021. The CFDA number associated with this program is 16.841, and the funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in the opportunity's additional eligibility information section, and the posting is explicitly labeled "Invited to Apply," which typically means the agency is limiting competition and requesting an application from a specific entity or a small set of entities.
The statutory authority cited for the project is 34 U.S.C. 20103(c)(1)(A), which is the legal basis OVC uses to support activities that improve services for victims of crime. Overall, the opportunity funds the creation of a comprehensive, organized, and publicly available resource map that can reduce barriers to finding help, improve coordination among service systems, and make referrals more reliable and timely for AI/AN victims across tribal and non-tribal jurisdictions.Apply for O OVC 2021 77001
