Eligible applicants are limited to nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit organizations), faith- and community-based organizations, institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions of higher education), public agencies, state agencies, and federally recognized Indian tribal governments (as determined by the Secretary of the Interior). Applicant(s) must demonstrate: the subject matter expertise and experience addressing vicarious trauma in the context described in this solicitation; a proven record of collaborating with a range of partners to successfully execute complex projects; the experience and capacity necessary to lead and manage a national-scope training and technical assistance (TTA) initiative; and the skills and resources necessary to meet all federal grants management requirements described in this solicitation. All recipients and subrecipients (including any for-profit organization) must forgo any profit or management fee. OVC welcomes applications under which two or more entities would carry out the federal award; however, only one entity may be the applicant. Any others must be proposed as subrecipients (subgrantees). The applicant must be the entity that would have primary responsibility for carrying out the award, including administering the funding and managing the entire project. OVC may elect to fund applications submitted under this FY 2019 solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on, among other considerations, the merit of the applications and on the availability of appropriations.
