Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14048
The OVC FY 2018 Advancing Hospital-Based Victim Services opportunity is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), focused on strengthening hospitals and other medical settings as a front-door access point for crime victims. The core idea is that emergency departments, trauma centers, and affiliated medical facilities often see victims soon after an incident, sometimes before any connection to community-based victim services is made. By building or expanding structured, victim-centered programs inside (or closely linked to) hospitals, OVC aims to increase immediate support, improve longer-term outcomes, and reduce the likelihood of repeat victimization.
Funding is offered through cooperative agreements under CFDA 16.582, reflecting that OVC expects active involvement and coordination with awardees during the project period rather than a purely hands-off grant. Awards can be as high as $2,000,000, and OVC anticipated making a total of nine awards.
The solicitation is organized into two purpose areas. Purpose Area 1 funds up to eight demonstration sites that will implement or expand hospital-based or hospital-affiliated victim service programs. These sites are expected to use evidence-based models and practices and to deliver services using victim-centered approaches, meaning services should prioritize victim safety, choice, confidentiality, cultural responsiveness, and trauma-informed engagement. The demonstration aspect signals that OVC is looking for programs that can be implemented in real-world hospital environments, documented carefully, and used to inform future replication.
Purpose Area 2 funds one additional applicant to serve as the technical assistance provider for the initiative. This organization would deliver comprehensive technical assistance to the demonstration sites and produce practical tools and resources that help hospitals and partners adopt and sustain effective victim service approaches. In practice, this often includes onboarding and training support, peer learning opportunities, implementation guidance, templates or protocols, troubleshooting for partnership and data-sharing challenges, and development of field-facing resources that can be used beyond the funded sites.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with applicants directed to the solicitation text for the specific eligibility parameters and any clarifications. The opportunity was created on May 30, 2018, and the application deadline was July 2, 2018. OVC also scheduled a pre-application webinar for June 6, 2018 (3:00 to 4:00 p.m. Eastern), intended to walk potential applicants through expectations and submission requirements, with registration information provided through OVCs webinar page.
Overall, this grant opportunity is designed to expand effective hospital-linked victim services nationwide by simultaneously investing in on-the-ground program implementation at multiple sites and in centralized technical assistance to strengthen quality, consistency, and sustainability across the initiative.Apply for OVC 2018 14048
