Summary

Grants from the Attorney General or the Secretary of Health and Human Services under sections 7104(b), 7105(b), or 7105(f) must, at the choice of the Attorney General or HHS, follow the same rules that apply to similar grants under either the Violence Against Women Act (section 40002(b)(2)) or the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (section 306(c)(5)). Covered grant: a grant from those offices under those sections. Covered recipient: a grantee or subgrantee getting such a grant. A covered recipient may share personal identifying information with researchers only if the research is funded by the Department of Justice, the research has protections required under part 22 of title 28 (or any successor) and section 10231(a) of title 34, and a current privacy certificate is on file showing how the researchers will meet those protections.
