Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2019 15653
The OVC FY 2019 Reducing Child Fatalities and Recurring Child Injuries Caused by Crime Victimization opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OVC 2019 15653) is a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC). It is offered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means awardees should expect an active federal role in the project through collaboration, reporting, and joint problem-solving rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The program sits within the broad service areas of Income Security and Social Services as well as Law, Justice, and Legal Services, and is tied to CFDA 16.582.
The purpose of the program is to support a set of demonstration sites that will take a hard look at how their communities currently respond to child fatalities and serious, recurring child injuries connected to crime victimization. A key emphasis is on examining and strengthening existing mechanisms such as child fatality review teams, and then using what is learned to improve real-world practice. The intent is not simply to study the problem in isolation, but to test and demonstrate more strategic and effective community responses to the most severe outcomes affecting children: serious injuries, near-fatalities, and deaths that stem from criminal victimization.
A central feature of the opportunity is partnership expansion and coordination. OVC highlights the importance of building stronger multidisciplinary teams and community collaboratives, suggesting that effective prevention and response require coordinated work across agencies and disciplines that may include victim services, child welfare, medical and public health systems, law enforcement, prosecutors, schools, and other community-based partners. The program is aimed at transforming how communities respond by aligning these partners around shared protocols, data-informed decision-making, and coordinated interventions that can reduce repeated harm and improve outcomes for children and families.
Another major goal is field-building and knowledge sharing. Demonstration sites are expected to capture findings, document lessons learned, and share practical insights that can be applied elsewhere. In other words, the program is designed to produce both local impact and broader value by generating approaches, tools, and takeaways that other jurisdictions can adapt when trying to prevent child deaths and repeated serious injuries linked to victimization.
In terms of scale, OVC anticipated making up to six awards, with an award ceiling of $1,500,000 per award. The opportunity was created on March 28, 2019, and originally closed on May 30, 2019. Eligibility is listed as "Others" with further clarification referenced in the solicitation’s additional eligibility information, meaning applicants needed to review the full posting to confirm whether their organization type and role in a proposed partnership fit OVC’s requirements.Apply for OVC 2019 15653
