## What the grant funds

The Violence Against Women Act Measuring Effectiveness Initiative (VAWA MEI) is categorized under CFDA #16.526 (Technical Assistance) and is permitted under the following statutes: 34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(11); 34 U.S.C. § 10238; and 34 U.S.C. § 12291(b)(7). The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) of 2005 requires that grantees report on the effectiveness of their VAWA-funded programs to the Attorney General, who, in turn, must report to Congress every two years on the effectiveness of grant-funded activities (P.L. No. 106-386, section 1003, codified at 34 U.S.C. § 10238). Some OVW grant programs also have specific reporting requirements as outlined in their respective authorizing legislation. In response to these reporting requirements, OVW developed annual and semi-annual performance reporting forms for each OVW grant program that track grant-funded activities and incorporate measures tied to program objectives. Grantees funded by OVW report consistent, quantitative data that can be aggregated to reflect the accomplishments within and across grant programs. The reporting forms also collect qualitative information on grantees’ goals, objectives, activities, accomplishments, and remaining areas of need. OVW uses the information collected through these performance reports in different ways, including: monitoring grant activities, spotting training and technical assistance needs, providing information to a range of stakeholders on what has been accomplished with grant funds, identifying promising practices, meeting reporting obligations under the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and subsequent legislation, responding to the Department of Justice’s data requests related to performance and budget, reporting to Congress, and responding to ad hoc data requests from within and outside government. This solicitation is to fund the first 12 to 18 months of a five-year project to continue and enhance the VAWA MEI.
