| Description: | Through this national-scope solicitation OVC will seek to support organizations which demonstrate innovative strategies to create, expand, or enhance use of technology initiatives on a national scale to improve response, services, and access for victims of crime. OVC seeks to address three areas, which may intersect depending on the applicant’s proposed activities and project strategy. These are:
1) Coalition building and activities which utilize and plan for technology to promote a national safety net for victims of crime. Funding under this initiative may support technology development and maintenance and the staff required to operate, update, and maintain the proposed platform or services and staff engaged in coalition building activities around use of technology. Program activities could include, but are not limited to: work to facilitate and support the use and improvement of technology to serve victims of crime (such as the concept of warm hand-offs among digital services platforms and discussion and development of strategies for data collection across programs to better inform policy and service provision); provision or facilitation of access to services, including provision of referrals, information, and tools to victims of crime where local or accessible services do not exist or are insufficient; etc. Each proposal must include a plan for how the service will be sustained, maintained, and updated if necessary at the conclusion of funding. Applicants, especially those who propose coalition building and support as part of their activities, must also clearly document support and engagement from their proposed and/or existing partners. |
