Additional Information on Eligibility: The lead applicant for the national focus mobile app must be a nonprofit victim-serving organization with the capacity to manage a national-scope project. The lead applicant for the specific state or local jurisdiction mobile app must be a state or local public agency, tribal government, or nonprofit organization serving crime victims in a specific jurisdiction. Lead applicants for both types of projects must either partner with a technology partner (e.g., professional software developer, university, or mobile applications startup) with experience in mobile solution design and development, or have a staff member with the demonstrated experience and appropriate technological qualifications (supported by a resume), to be eligible for funding. If the applicant does not demonstrate a partnership with a technology partner, the applicant will be deemed ineligible to submit an application for purposes of this solicitation. Applicants must also demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the criminal justice system and how crime victims interact with that system; and knowledge, skills, abilities, and technical understanding to plan, design, develop, market, and assess mobile solutions. Eligibility is a critical factor to the success of this initiative. Memorandums of Understanding (MOU), contracts, or other documentation must be included in this application to document eligibility. A private nonprofit organization does not have to have 501(c)3 status to apply for funding under this solicitation.
OVC may elect to make continuation awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, dependent on the merit of the applications, the success of the grantee, and on the availability of appropriations.
