What the grant funds
This notice of funding opportunity will support the updating of the OVC Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program Development and Operation Guide to ensure the field of forensic nursing remains responsive to the needs of survivors of sexual assault. Under this NOFO, OVC will support updates to the OVC SANE Program Development and Operation Guide (“the Guide”). The Guide serves as a comprehensive resource for developing, expanding, or improving SANE programs to help communities enhance the quality and scope of services provided to victims. The Guide provides a structured approach for setting up a forensic nursing program dedicated to providing care to survivors of sexual assault. Significant advances in forensic nursing practice, as well as changes in national standards and evolving protocols, necessitate an update of the Guide to ensure it remains an effective and relevant tool for SANE programs across the country.
