Grant Description

The United States Department of Justice, Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is pleased to announce that it is seeking applications for the Grants to Reduce Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking on Campus Program (Campus Program). This program furthers the Department’s mission by supporting projects designed to address and prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking on college campuses. The Campus Program, authorized under the Higher Education Amendments Act of 1988, is designed to encourage institutions of higher education to adopt comprehensive, coordinated responses to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. The OVW Campus Program strengthens on-campus victim services, security, and investigative strategies to prevent and prosecute violent crimes against women on campuses. In order to receive grant funds through the Campus Program, institutions of higher education must provide prevention education on violence against women for all incoming students, train campus law enforcement or security staff on appropriate responses to violence against women, train members of campus judicial or disciplinary boards on the unique dynamics of violence against women, and create a coordinated community response to violence against women to enhance victim safety and assistance as well as hold offenders accountable.
