OVC FY 2023 Advancing the Use of Technology to Assist Victims of Crime

OVC seeks applications that demonstrate innovative strategies to create, expand, or enhance the use of technology to—

• interact directly with crime victims; or
• provide information, referrals, crisis assistance, and long-term help.

Funding under this initiative may support—

• technology development and maintenance to facilitate efficient service delivery or communication;
• staff required to operate, update, and maintain the proposed technology platform or service;
• training and technical assistance on the purpose and use of the technology (including outreach and public awareness activities); and
• staff engaged in coalition-building and outreach activities regarding the use of technology.

OVC anticipates making up to four awards of up to $750,000 each for up to a 36-month period of performance, to begin on October 1, 2023.
