The other program solicitation is the Grants to Engage Men and Boys as Allies in the Prevention of Violence Against Women and Girls (EM) Program. Applicants interested in developing projects to engage men and boys as allies should submit a proposal under the OVW Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 EM solicitation.
