The Higher Education Center is pleased to make the following announcements:

1) U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women Announces Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus

The Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program ("Campus Program") solicitation has been released. The Campus Program strengthens campus victim services, security, and investigative strategies to prevent and prosecute violent crimes against women on campuses.

Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education (as defined under the Higher Education Amendments of 1998), and a consortium of higher education institutions provided that each individual member of the consortium is also eligible to apply.
In addition, the Office of Violence Against Women (OVW) developed the Grant Program Reference Guide to assist potential grantees in applying for current OVW programs. The Guide is meant to offer applicants detailed assistance applicable to all OVW Programs. This Guide is not a substitute for any of OVW's program-specific solicitations or any of the applicable statutes, regulations, or policies that govern OVW's programs. Applicants are responsible for reading each solicitation in its entirety and for following the instructions set forth in each solicitation.

All open solicitations are available here: http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/open-solicitations.htm, and closed solicitations can be viewed here: http://www.ovw.usdoj.gov/closed-solicitations.htm

Applicants will apply via GMS and the deadline is March 10, 2010.

Interested parties should go to OVW's website at www.ovw.usdoj.gov and click on OVW Funding Opportunities.
