OVW-2019-15825 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking Program
Current Closing Date for Applications: Feb 14, 2019
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=311346
Victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating
violence, and stalking in rural communities face unique challenges and barriers
to receiving assistance rarely encountered in urban areas. The geographic
isolation, transportation barriers, economic structure, particularly strong
social and cultural pressures, and lack of available services in rural
jurisdictions significantly compound the problems confronted by those seeking
support and services to end the violence in their lives. These factors also
complicate the ability of the criminal justice system to investigate and
prosecute sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking
cases. In addition, socio-cultural, economic, and geographic barriers create
difficulties for victim services providers to identify and assist victims of
these crimes. The United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence
Against Women (OVW) (www.ovw.usdoj.gov) is pleased to announce that it is
seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2019 Rural Sexual Assault, Domestic
Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Assistance Program. This program
furthers the Department’s mission by supporting projects designed to address
and prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking in
rural jurisdictions.
BAA-ESC-GDO-2019
The USAID/Eastern and Southern Caribbean’s Community Resilience Initiative Broad Agency Announcement
Current Closing Date for Applications: Feb 19, 2019
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=312578
The United States Agency for International Development
(USAID) is issuing this Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) to seek participants to
co-create, co-design, co-invest, and collaborate on research and development
interventions for the Community Resilience Initiative that seeks to strengthen
communities by addressing internal and external destabilizing factors,
specifically the recent influx of Venezuelan migrants to Trinidad & Tobago
(T&T). USAID invites organizations and companies to submit an Expression of
Interest, as provided below. The intent of the BAA is to allow co-creation
and co-design to the maximum extent to create high quality, effective
partnerships with great efficiency in time and resources. USAID will invite
selected for-profit and non-profit, public and private organizations, as
detailed below, to co-create research and development (R&D) solutions to
the Problem and Challenge Statement stated in this BAA, including those
organizations that have ideas, expertise, resources, and/or funding to add to
potential solutions. USAID/ESC wants to align goals with the partners
under this BAA, to facilitate shared responsibility, shared risk, shared
resourcing or co-investing. Shared resourcing requires that cash and other
resources, both tangible and intangible, such as in-kind contributions,
expertise, intellectual property, brand value, high-value coordination, and
access to key people, places, and information, are directed towards reaching
the solution to the Problem/Challenge. Co-investing does not require equal
shared resources (such as 1:1 leverage), but rather financial contributions
that are appropriate to the specific project’s objectives, considering the
comparative advantages brought by the participation of each party.
The activity should provide targeted community strengthening
services to municipalities with high crime and violence. The activity should
increase opportunities for highly vulnerable migrant and local populations and
deter recruitment of children and youth into crime and violence or other
exploitative or extremist activities. To achieve this, the activity will work
in close collaboration with regional corporations, civil society organizations,
and other key actors. USAID/ESC is seeking to develop and test new and
innovative approaches towards actionable solutions to strengthen communities’
resilience to destabilizing factors in T&T. These solutions will be focused
on specific locations (at a municipal or community level) that are expected to
be identified during Stage 2 of this BAA.
Innovation will be critical to addressing the recent
challenge of irregular migration to a country comprised of two islands in the West
Indies in the Caribbean. The project design should increase the resilience and
safety of communities in Trinidad and Tobago by strengthening the capacity of
targeted populations, organizations, and networks. Proposed solutions and
activities should be replicable, scalable, sustainable, and account for the
need to eventually transfer of the response to the Government of Trinidad and
Tobago or other stakeholders. Flexibility in modifying solutions and activities
to respond to changes in the country context is key to the success of the
innovation transfer process.

NIJ-2019-15563 Research and Evaluation on Promising Reentry Initiatives, FY 2019
Current Closing Date for Applications: May 13, 2019
https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/view-opportunity.html?oppId=312096
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks to build knowledge on best
practices in offender reentry initiatives. Specifically, NIJ requests proposals
for rigorous research to examine reentry initiatives that incorporate promising
practices, strategies, or programs. For this solicitation, NIJ is interested in
supporting evaluations of innovative reentry initiatives that focus on
juveniles, young adults (aged 18-24), and adults with a moderate-to-high risk
of reoffending. A particular focus on the risk of reoffending with a violent
crime is encouraged. These initiatives may be applicable to juvenile
residential facilities, institutional and/or community corrections.
