Description

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), seeks applications for funding under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Victim Assistance Formula Grant Program. This program furthers the Department’s mission by providing grants to support the provision of services to victims of crime throughout the nation. This solicitation incorporates the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide by reference. The OJP Grant Application Resource Guide provides guidance to applicants on how to prepare and submit applications for funding to OJP. If this solicitation expressly modifies any provision in the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide, the applicant is to follow the guidelines in this solicitation as to that provision. This solicitation expressly modifies the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide by not incorporating the "Limitation on Use of Award Funds for Employee Compensation; Waiver" provisions in the "Financial Information" section of the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide or the "Disclosure of Process Related to Executive Compensation" provisions in the "Application Attachments" section. It also deviates from the "Application Elements and Formatting Instructions" section of the Guide, specifically in the "Budget Preparation and Submission Information" provisions, in that this application does not require submission of a budget as described in those provisions.
