Opportunity Information: Apply for OVC 2019 15646
The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) within the U.S. Department of Justice released this FY 2019 discretionary funding opportunity to strengthen how sexual assault victims receive medical forensic care, particularly in places where access to a Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) is limited or inconsistent. The central idea is to use telehealth to connect communities that do not have enough trained, experienced examiners with SANE expertise, so victims can receive timely, trauma-informed care and high-quality sexual assault forensic exams even when local staffing is thin or specialized skills are not immediately available. By pairing telehealth technology with clinical and program support, OVC aims to improve both access (getting victims seen sooner and more reliably) and quality (making exams more consistent, evidence-based, and aligned with best practices).
Applicants are asked to apply under one of two purpose areas, depending on the role they intend to play. Purpose Area 1 focuses on State, Tribal, or regional demonstration sites that will plan and implement telehealth-supported sexual assault forensic exam services. The main goal for these demonstration sites is to increase the number of highly trained and experienced SANEs and other qualified medical forensic examiners while ensuring that victims receive high-quality, victim-centered care. In practice, these projects are meant to show how telehealth can extend SANE expertise into hospitals, clinics, or remote settings that may not be able to staff SANEs around the clock, building a stronger and more sustainable clinical response over time.
Purpose Area 2 is designed for a separate applicant that will serve as the technical assistance provider for the demonstration sites funded under Purpose Area 1. Under this track, the successful organization would support those sites during both planning and implementation, helping them address the real-world challenges that come with launching telehealth programs for forensic exams. That assistance would typically involve guidance on program design, operational workflows, training approaches, partnership development, technology considerations, and troubleshooting as sites move from concept to live service delivery. The intent is to ensure that demonstration sites are not reinventing the wheel and that the national investment results in models and lessons that other communities can replicate.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning OVC expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the awards rather than operating purely as a pass-through funder. The opportunity falls under CFDA 16.560 and is categorized within income security and social services as well as law, justice, and legal services, reflecting the intersection of victim services, healthcare response, and the justice-related importance of properly conducted forensic exams. OVC anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling listed at $4,000,000, signaling that projects could be sizeable and designed for meaningful multi-site or multi-partner impact.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number OVC-2019-15646, a creation date of June 7, 2019, and an application deadline of July 17, 2019. Eligibility is broadly indicated as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full notice, which typically means applicants need to consult the posted solicitation for the exact list of eligible entities and any special requirements tied to the demonstration-site or technical-assistance roles. Overall, the grant is structured to both build and test telehealth-enabled SANE support in underserved areas (Purpose Area 1) and to provide coordinated expertise to help those sites succeed and produce usable, scalable practices (Purpose Area 2).Apply for OVC 2019 15646
