Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2019 ACF ACYF EV 1547
This funding opportunity is a federal discretionary grant under the Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) that aims to strengthen the day-to-day capacity of FVPSA formula grantees nationwide. The program is designed to support the primary entities responsible for administering FVPSA formula funds at the state and territory level, specifically state FVPSA administrators and state or territorial domestic violence coalitions. Rather than funding direct victim services, the focus here is on capacity building: improving how formula grantees manage, oversee, and continuously strengthen FVPSA-supported programs.
The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient should expect an ongoing working relationship with the federal program office during the project. The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), through the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and its Family and Youth Services Bureau (FYSB), plans to fund one organization to serve as the national provider of training and technical assistance (TTA) for this specific purpose. The anticipated funding level is up to $450,000, with one total award expected.
The selected grantee will deliver two main types of support. First, it will provide topic-specific training and technical assistance at the national level. These national topics are not fixed in advance; they will be driven by what FVPSA staff learn through formula grantee needs assessments, federal program monitoring, and the grantee's own methods for identifying emerging challenges and priority areas. Second, the grantee will provide more intensive, tailored training and technical assistance to specific states or territories that are identified as needing deeper support. Which jurisdictions receive this intensive assistance will also be determined through needs assessments and monitoring, combined with the grantee's internal processes for selecting where intensive help is most needed.
The content of the training and technical assistance is centered on both programmatic and administrative functions that help formula grantees run strong, compliant, effective FVPSA programs. Examples highlighted in the announcement include helping grantees understand and apply FVPSA regulations and federal guidance; clarifying roles and responsibilities related to monitoring local subrecipients or local service programs; supporting the incorporation of best practices into oversight and program improvement; strengthening overall organizational management capacity; and helping states and territories build stronger partnerships across their service networks. A key emphasis is collaboration that includes culturally-specific organizations and tribal partners, recognizing that effective statewide or territory-wide responses to domestic violence require meaningful coordination with communities that have distinct cultural contexts, histories, and service needs.
Another core expectation is that the grantee will not operate in isolation. The awardee must coordinate and collaborate with FVPSA-funded resource centers that together make up the Domestic Violence Resource Network (DVRN). In practical terms, this means aligning training content, avoiding duplication, sharing expertise, and ensuring that states, territories, and coalitions experience the federal technical assistance system as coherent and mutually reinforcing.
Eligibility is fairly broad and includes public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not higher education institutions in the non-501(c)(3) category), and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The opportunity is listed under Assistance Listing/CFDA 93.592 and falls within the federal funding activity area of Income Security and Social Services.
Key administrative details from the posting include the funding opportunity number (HHS-2019-ACF-ACYF-EV-1547), the posting date (April 24, 2019), and an application deadline of June 23, 2019, with electronic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. Overall, the grant is structured to create a single, nationally positioned technical assistance provider that can raise the capacity of FVPSA formula grantees through targeted national learning and hands-on, jurisdiction-specific support, while staying closely coordinated with the broader FVPSA technical assistance network.Apply for HHS 2019 ACF ACYF EV 1547
