Overview
To assist potential applicants in developing strong proposals in response to our current funding opportunities, OVC hosts educational webinars and provides pre-recorded videos for interested stakeholders to learn more about the program objectives and submission requirements.
OVC Pre-Application Videos
On-demand, pre-application videos about the mechanics of applying and details on the programmatic areas of the OVC FY25 Notices of Funding Opportunity will be posted to this page as they become available.
At this time, there are no videos available.
Application Submission Weekly Webinars
We encourage all potential applicants to register for the weekly “Application Submission Training Webinar,” held every Wednesday from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. eastern time. Visit the JustGrants Resources website to learn more and register. Participation in these webinars is optional.
Get Ready NOW To Apply for DOJ Funding
You must have active registrations in SAM.gov and Grants.gov before you can apply for any Department of Justice (DOJ) funding opportunity. If you’ve used these systems in the past, check that your registration and users are current.
- Register today. You can register in SAM.gov and Grants.gov any time—you don’t have to wait until a funding opportunity is open. SAM.gov registrations expire after 12 months and must be renewed every year. Grants.gov accounts deactivate after a year of inactivity or if your SAM.gov registration expires.
- Update points of contact (POCs). Check and update your entity’s POCs in both systems now to prevent delays in completing your application—or miss the application deadline.
For more tips on using SAM.gov and Grants.gov, visit the JustGrants Resources Application Submission Training page.
