OVW Fiscal Year 2024 Enhancing Investigation and Prosecution of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking (EIP) Initiative

The Enhancing Investigation and Prosecution (EIP) Initiative is authorized by the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, Pub. L. No. 117-328, 136 Stat. 4459, 4530-31 (2022). This initiative is designed to promote, and evaluate, effective policing and prosecution responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The EIP Initiative (CFDA #16.590) encourages law enforcement agencies and/or prosecutors’ offices to expand and improve their capacity to effectively investigate and/or prosecute domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, and in so doing, support victim safety and autonomy, hold offenders accountable, and promote agency trust within the surrounding community.

Eligible applicants are limited to: state, territorial, county, local, and/or Tribal law enforcement agencies and prosecutors’ offices that investigate or prosecute crimes of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking in the United States or U.S. territories. States, units of local government, and Tribal governments may apply on behalf of law enforcement agencies and prosecutors’ offices that lack authority to apply on their own.
