OVC FY 2020 Tribal Victim Services Set-Aside Formula Program

The following entities are eligible to apply: • Federally recognized Indian tribes ; • Tribal designees; or • Tribal consortia consisting of two or more federally recognized Indian tribes. Designees and consortia may apply only on behalf of a federally recognized Indian tribe (or tribes). Designees and consortia must include documentation that demonstrates (as a legal matter) that designee or consortia has the requisite authorization from the tribe(s) for which they apply. See the Tribal Authorizing Resolution provision of the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. A tribe may submit only one application under this solicitation. (Political units of tribes may not each submit separate applications – only one application for the tribe will be considered.) An application may cover multiple tribes (e.g., consortia may apply on behalf of their member tribes); however, it is incumbent upon the consortium to ensure that member tribes have not submitted their own individual applications. Currently funded DOJ grantees are eligible to apply, but must not request duplicative activities and budget items that are already included in previous DOJ awards. (Continuing activities under a currently funded project that is scheduled to end is not duplicative.) OVC will consider applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire project. For additional information on subawards, see the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee.
