Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14105
The OVC FY 2018 American Indian/Alaska Native Training and Technical Assistance (AI/AN TTA) Program is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), designed to strengthen the effectiveness of OVC-funded tribal victim service efforts. The core goal is to support tribal communities by boosting the capacity of OVC tribal awardees to coordinate and deliver a full range of culturally appropriate, victim-centered services for victims of crime, their families, and the broader community. In practical terms, the program is meant to help tribal grantees not only run their projects, but run them well, with stronger systems, better coordination, and approaches that fit local culture, community priorities, and tribal governance.
For FY 2018, OVC emphasized a more individualized and targeted model that combines hands-on technical assistance with tailored training. Rather than offering only broad, one-size-fits-all guidance, the program is structured to help each OVC tribal grantee identify what it specifically needs to succeed and then receive focused support to address those needs. This includes helping grantees build practical infrastructure, improve service quality, and strengthen partnerships that make victim services more accessible and more effective in tribal settings.
A major component is technical assistance, which is essentially customized problem-solving and capacity-building support for OVC tribal grantees. The opportunity highlights several examples: conducting initial assessments to understand each grantee's technical assistance needs; developing strategies and tools that help programs adopt promising practices and build successful partnerships; and supporting core planning work such as needs assessments, strategic plans, and logic models. The technical assistance scope also includes strengthening administrative and reporting capacity by designing and maintaining data collection systems that allow grantees to meet OVC reporting requirements accurately and on time. In addition, the program calls for identifying and maintaining culturally appropriate model protocols, tribal codes, and victims' rights codes, reflecting the importance of aligning victim service work with tribal law, local practice, and community expectations. Another key technical assistance function is developing assessment tools that help measure the quality and effectiveness of victim services, so grantees can track what is working, improve performance, and demonstrate results.
Alongside technical assistance, the program also funds training activities that are culturally appropriate and responsive to the unique circumstances of each tribe. The Technical Assistance Provider is expected to develop and deliver training based on individual tribal needs, while also helping OVC offer training and resources that can benefit all OVC tribal grantees as a group. The training role is broad and includes creating innovative training materials and strategies that tribal programs can realistically adapt and apply. It also includes conducting advisory board and planning meetings that support continued program development, and building or maintaining a cadre of subject-matter experts who can deliver training to tribal grantees on serving victims of crime, their families, and the community. Coordination with OVC is also part of the work, particularly to identify relevant federally funded training resources and incorporate those resources into the overall training and technical assistance effort, avoiding duplication and expanding what tribal programs can access.
Administratively, this opportunity was offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates a closer working relationship with the federal agency during project implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity number is OVC 2018 14105, and it falls under CFDA 16.582, aligned with law, justice, legal services, and social services. The posting date was April 17, 2018, with an original closing date of May 31, 2018. OVC anticipated making two awards, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with further clarification expected in the full solicitation under an eligibility section, meaning applicants would need to review the full announcement to confirm whether their organization type qualifies.
Overall, the FY 2018 AI/AN TTA Program is best understood as an investment in strengthening tribal victim service systems, not by directly funding victim service delivery itself, but by funding the expertise, training, tools, planning support, and performance infrastructure that help OVC tribal grantees deliver high-quality, culturally grounded services and sustain them over time.Apply for OVC 2018 14105
