Description

OVC seeks to establish or expand sexual assault examination programs, including sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) programs and sexual assault forensic examiner (SAFE) programs, that focus on—

  1. increasing the number and availability of SANEs/SAFEs,
  2. expanding access to sexual assault forensic examinations to communities that have been historically underresourced, and
  3. improving the quality of post-sexual assault care using a hospital-based, community-based, campus-based, or corrections-based approach.

OVC anticipates making up to 4 awards of up to $500,000 each for up to a 36-month period of performance, to begin on October 1, 2023.
