Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2016 11402
The OVW FY 2016 National Deaf Service Line Initiative is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW), designed to launch the groundwork for a National Deaf Service Line (NDSL). The initiative is funded under the Grants for Outreach for Services to Underserved Populations (often referred to as the Underserved Program) and is authorized by 42 U.S.C. 14045. At its core, the opportunity focuses on improving access to victim services for Deaf individuals, particularly in contexts connected to OVW's mission areas such as domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, by creating a national-level service line concept tailored to Deaf survivors and Deaf communities.
This solicitation specifically funds Phase One of a two-phase initiative. Phase One is not the full rollout of the service line; it is the planning and design stage. The single selected awardee is expected to create a comprehensive plan that lays out how the National Deaf Service Line should be established. In practical terms, that means developing the operational blueprint: what the service line will do, how it will be staffed, how services will be delivered in accessible formats, what partnerships and referral pathways are needed, what standards and protocols will guide service delivery, and how the service line will coordinate with existing local, state, tribal, territorial, and national victim service systems.
OVW anticipates making one cooperative agreement award, with a maximum award amount (ceiling) of $500,000. A cooperative agreement typically indicates closer involvement by the federal agency than a standard grant, meaning OVW may have an active role in shaping, reviewing, and guiding the planning work during the project period to ensure the plan aligns with statutory purpose, OVW policy priorities, and best practices for serving underserved populations. The fact that only one award is expected reinforces that the intent is to produce a unified national plan rather than multiple competing models.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), along with certain other eligible entities as clarified in the full eligibility guidance. The funding opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.889, which corresponds to OVW programming. The opportunity was posted on October 11, 2016, with an original application closing date of November 29, 2016.
A key feature of this opportunity is that Phase Two is not automatically funded through this solicitation. OVW indicates that, after successful completion of Phase One, it may choose to release a separate solicitation for Phase Two, which would focus on implementation of the plan developed in Phase One. In other words, this Phase One award is intended to produce a detailed, actionable implementation roadmap. If OVW proceeds with Phase Two later, the implementation stage would build directly on the Phase One plan and would likely address the actual launch and operation of the NDSL, including service delivery, national coordination, staffing, training, evaluation, and ongoing sustainability.
Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as an investment in national infrastructure planning for accessible victim services for Deaf individuals. It prioritizes a structured, phased approach: first, develop a thorough, credible plan for a National Deaf Service Line; then, contingent on results and OVW decisions, move toward implementation through a future funding competition.Apply for OVW 2016 11402
