Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2018 14262
The OVC FY 2018 Linking Systems of Care for Children and Youth Training and Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2018 14262) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected organization should expect an active partnership with OVC rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The purpose is to fund one organization to deliver comprehensive training and technical assistance (TTA) in support of OVCs broader Linking Systems of Care for Children and Youth (LSC) Demonstration Initiative.
At its core, the LSC initiative is about improving how public systems identify and respond to child victimization. The approach is designed to make sure that every child who enters major child- and youth-serving systems is assessed for possible victimization, that children and their families receive coordinated and comprehensive services that match their needs, and that participating jurisdictions put practices and policies in place that can last beyond the grant period. In practice, this typically involves strengthening cross-system collaboration among entities such as child welfare, juvenile justice, schools, health and behavioral health providers, victim service organizations, and other community partners so that victimization is not missed and services are not fragmented.
This solicitation specifically funds the organization that will serve as the TTA provider for the initiative. The TTA provider is expected to actively engage with four existing state-level LSC demonstration sites already funded by OVC. The role is to help those sites move through planning (where applicable) and implementation by offering a broad menu of support delivered through multiple formats. While the solicitation language does not list every delivery method, it clearly signals varied delivery modes, which commonly include structured training events, targeted consultation, peer-learning opportunities, written tools and guidance, virtual support, and other tailored assistance that helps sites solve real implementation challenges and align their work with the LSC model.
OVC planned to make a single award with a funding ceiling of up to $2,000,000 for a 30-month project period. The opportunity falls under CFDA 16.582 and is categorized within Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice and Legal Services, reflecting the initiative's intersection of victim services and justice-system involvement. The posted creation date was June 5, 2018, and the original closing date was July 5, 2018. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation, indicating that applicants needed to consult the official guidance to confirm whether their organization type and proposed role met OVC requirements.Apply for OVC 2018 14262
