This Fact Sheet provides information on funding, eligibility, and training/technical assistance for grants administered by the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) under the Children's Justice Act Partnerships for Indian Communities (CJA), which provides funding to American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities to improve their management of child sexual abuse cases.
Abstract
During a competitive award cycle, potential grantees submit applications for peer review and award consideration. During a noncompetitive cycle, continuation funding is available to award recipients for program implementation. Each award includes a requirement that the grantee match the award by either a cash or in-kind contribution. Eligible applicants are federally recognized Indian tribes and nonprofit tribal organizations. The recipients will be limited to tribal organizations as defined in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act. So as to ensure that all tribal programs receive the training and technical assistance (TTA) necessary to implement successful programs, OVC provides funding for a TTA component.
