Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2017 11606
The OVC FY 17 Vision 21: Building State Technology Capacity - Victim Compensation grant (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2017 11606) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement and is tied to CFDA 16.582, covering work in the areas of income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services. The focus is narrow and practical: strengthening the technology and data capabilities of state VOCA victim compensation programs so they can collect better information and submit more accurate administrative reports through the OVC Performance Management Tool (PMT).
The central purpose is to improve data collection and reporting accuracy for VOCA Formula Victim Compensation programs. In plain terms, OVC is trying to help state victim compensation agencies modernize or enhance the systems and processes they use to track claims, payments, and program activity, so that what they report in the PMT is complete, consistent, and reliable. This is presented as part of OVCs broader Vision 21 initiative, which emphasizes modernization and the use of better information to improve services for crime victims.
Eligibility is restricted to VOCA Formula State Compensation Administering Agencies only, meaning the official state victim compensation programs that administer VOCA Victim Compensation Formula Grants. This is not open to nonprofits, universities, local governments, or other entities unless they are the designated state administering agency for the VOCA compensation program. In addition, the opportunity is specifically aimed at programs that did not apply for similar funding for system upgrades under the OVC FY 2015 Vision 21 Building State Technology Capacity competitive solicitation. A further restriction is that state compensation programs that previously received FY 2015 State Technology awards are not allowed to apply, making this essentially a second-chance or gap-filling round for states that missed out in the earlier funding stream.
OVC anticipated making around 10 awards, with individual award amounts ranging from $25,000 up to $250,000. The estimated total funding available across all awards was about $1,500,000, although the solicitation notes the number of awards was unspecified beyond the estimate. The application deadline listed for the original solicitation was May 4, 2017, and the opportunity was created on March 21, 2017.
Overall, this grant opportunity is best understood as targeted capacity-building for state-run victim compensation programs, centered on practical technology and data improvements that directly support stronger administrative reporting through the OVC Performance Management Tool. It is not a general victim services program expansion grant; it is a specialized investment intended to improve how state compensation programs collect, manage, and report the data that underpins accountability and performance measurement under VOCA.Apply for OVC 2017 11606
