Opportunity Information: Apply for OVW 2019 15863
The FY 2019 Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking on Campus Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW). Authorized under 34 U.S.C. 20125, the program is designed to help colleges and universities build a comprehensive, coordinated community response to violence affecting students and campus communities. The core idea is to strengthen how campuses prevent and address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, while keeping victim safety at the center, expanding access to services and supports, and improving the ability of institutions and their partners to hold offenders accountable.
The program emphasizes a coordinated approach rather than isolated efforts. In practice, that means campuses are expected to align the work of key stakeholders such as campus administrators, student affairs, Title IX offices, campus security or police, local law enforcement, prosecutors, victim advocacy organizations, health and counseling services, and other community-based partners. By supporting collaboration across these groups, the grant aims to reduce gaps in reporting, response, and follow-through, and to ensure victims encounter consistent, trauma-informed practices regardless of which office or agency they first contact.
A major focus of the funding is improving and expanding trauma-informed victim services. Trauma-informed services are intended to reduce re-traumatization and to recognize the ways trauma can affect memory, behavior, decision-making, and help-seeking. Grant-supported activities may include strengthening advocacy services, developing clearer referral pathways to confidential and non-confidential resources, improving culturally responsive support, and ensuring victims can access safety planning, medical and mental health care, academic and housing accommodations, and other practical supports. Alongside service improvements, the program also supports strategies to prevent, investigate, and respond to campus-based violence, including efforts that enhance institutional policies, procedures, training, and coordinated response protocols.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including public and state-controlled institutions and private institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is primarily education, with additional scope described by the program’s broader violence prevention and response mission. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 16.525, which is commonly used to track federal assistance related to OVW campus safety initiatives.
For FY 2019, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVW 2019 15863) was posted on January 22, 2019, with an original application closing date of March 14, 2019. OVW anticipated making approximately 45 awards, with an award ceiling of $750,000 per grant. Overall, the funding level and expected award count suggest a competitive national program intended to support a significant but manageable number of campuses in developing or strengthening comprehensive systems, rather than funding small, isolated projects.
In summary, this grant opportunity targets campus safety and accountability by investing in coordinated community responses, trauma-informed victim services, and stronger prevention, investigation, and response strategies. It is structured to help institutions move beyond compliance-only approaches and toward integrated practices that improve victim support, improve institutional and community coordination, and increase the effectiveness of efforts to address and reduce sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in campus environments.Apply for OVW 2019 15863
