OVC FY 15 Vision 21: Building State Technology Capacity Competitive Solicitation

OVC will make several awards of up to $60,000 each to state VOCA compensation programs to build new systems, or modify existing systems, for collecting electronic data; increase the accuracy of their administrative reporting; and satisfy the new OVC reporting requirements. This program is specifically for the improvement of data collection efforts to help increase the accuracy of administrative reporting through the OVC Performance Management Tool. OVC anticipates awarding approximately $2,000,000 to an unspecified number of state applicants in awards of up to $60,000 each. Those applying are urged to begin in advance of the June 17, 2015, deadline.

Eligible applicants are limited to state victim compensation programs that are eligible to administer VOCA Victim Compensation Formula Grants. While State Compensation programs that were recipients of Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 State Technology awards are welcome to apply, grants previously awarded for similar purposes will be taken into consideration when the applications are reviewed. For additional eligibility information, see Section C. Eligibility Information.
