What the grant funds

This program is authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(11) and (16). On December 20, 2022, OVW released the Emerging Issues and Training and Technical Assistance Call for Concept Papers (Call for Concept Papers), inviting interested eligible entities to propose projects that explore new and emerging issues and training and technical assistance projects addressing the needs and challenges of OVW grantees, subgrantees, and the larger violence against women field. In particular, with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022 (VAWA 2022), Pub. L. No. 117-103, div. W, 136 Stat. 49, 840-962. OVW sought to identify innovative projects and technical assistance that address the new and revised programs and issues included in VAWA 2022, as well as other areas emerging in the fields of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking. See 34 U.S.C. 12291(b)(11) and (16). OVW reviewed the submitted concept papers, selected promising projects in each of the Call for Concept Papers purpose areas, and contacted selected applicants to invite them to submit a full application for their concept paper through this invitation to apply solicitation.
