Violence Prevention Grants: Form Extension, No Excuses
Published Date: 3/28/2025
Notice
Summary
The Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women is asking for a 30-day public comment period to extend approval for their funding application form. This affects organizations applying for grants to support violence prevention and victim services. Comments are open until April 28, 2025, helping improve the form and reduce hassle without changing funding amounts.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Application Time Burden for OVW Grants
If your organization applies for an Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) grant, each application is estimated to take up to 30 hours to complete. DOJ estimates about 1,800 applicants a year, resulting in a total annual burden of 54,000 hours for completing applications.
Federal Review Cost for OVW Reports
The Department estimates the annualized Federal cost to review grantee progress reports at $201,600 per year. This is the estimated staff cost to the Federal Government associated with the information collection.
NOFO Template Standardizes Applications
OVW will use a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) template that provides a framework describing program specifics, eligibility, required application components (for example, project activities, timeline, and budget), and instructions on registration dates, due dates, and how to apply in the designated system. DOJ seeks Office of Management and Budget (OMB) authorization to use this information collection for three (3) years.
