The U.S. Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is now accepting applications for Fiscal Year 2011 Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program (Campus Program).
The Campus Program supports activities that develop and strengthen victim services in cases involving sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking on campuses. The Campus Program also aims to strengthen security and investigative strategies to prevent and prosecute these crimes on campuses. It supports a coordinated community approach that enhances victim safety and assistance and efforts to hold offenders accountable. Campuses are encouraged to adopt policies and protocols that treat violence against women crimes as serious offenses and develop victim services and programs that make victim safety, offender accountability, and prevention of such crimes a high priority.
The deadline for applications is March 31, 2011. For more information, please visit the Campus Program grant solicitation guide.
