Background
The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was originally enacted in Title IV of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement
Act of 1994, Public Law 103-322.  ln 1998, Congress appropriated funding to provide civil legal assistance to domestic violence
victims through a set aside under the Grants to Combat Violence Against Women, Public Law 105-277.  In the Violence Against
Women Act of 2000, Public Law 106-386, Congress statutorily authorized the Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program (Program).
This program is intended to increase the availability of legal assistance necessary to provide effective aid to victims of domestic
violence, stalking, and sexual assault who are seeking relief in legal matters arising as a consequence of that abuse or violence.
The program awards grants to private nonprofit entities, Indian tribal governments, and publicly funded organizations not acting in a
governmental capacity, such as law schools.  These grants are for providing direct legal services to victims of domestic violence,
sexual assault, and stalking in matters arising from the abuse or violence and for providing enhanced training for lawyers representing
these victims. Grant recipients include law school legal clinics, legal aid or legal services programs, domestic violence victims'
shelters, bar associations, and sexual assault programs.  The goal of the Program is to develop innovative, collaborative projects that
provide quality representation to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Scope of the Program
The scope of the Program is defined by the program purposes and special interest categories. See Sections A and B of this application
kit. Proposed projects do not need to address multiple special interest categories to receive support.
Although a limited number of legal services programs around the country are operated by advocacy organizations or specialize in
domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking issues and already have working relationships with the victim advocacy community,
most legal services providers have not historically worked collaboratively with advocacy organizations or victim services. Lawyers
who represent victims without fully understanding the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking may unwittingly
jeopardize their clients' safety. As a result, legal services providers seeking funding through this grant program are required to enter
into  memoranda of understanding with nonprofit, nongovernmental domestic violence and/or sexual assault victim services programs.
The role of the sexual assault or domestic violence program in this collaboration should be meaningful and ongoing throughout the
grant period and include provisions for continuing education and training to all lawyers who will be handling cases.  Such
collaborative relationships will ensure that training and mentoring are provided on issues related to domestic violence, sexual assault,
and stalking and will strengthen communication between the legal and victim advocacy communities.  An applicant may be exempt
from this requirement if it is a sexual assault or domestic violence victim services program applying to provide on-site legal services
or legal advocacy.
Training, mentoring, and collaborative relationships are core components of projects supported by this grant program.  Lawyers and
legal advocates providing services through the Program must be trained and mentored by respected domestic violence victim services
programs and/or sexual assault programs within the community to be served.  Additionally, nonlawyers must be fully supervised by
attorneys in accordance with local bar rules. (See Coordination with Nonprofit, Nongovernmental Sexual Assault and Domestic
Violence Programs, page 11 for further information.)
A.   Authorized Program Purposes
The Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program provides an opportunity for communities to examine how the legal needs of victims
of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are met.  The Program seeks to increase the availability and quality of legal
assistance available for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking in matters arising as a consequence of the abuse or
violence. By statute funds may be used:
                    (1) to implement, expand, and establish cooperative efforts and projects between domestic violence and
          sexual assault victim services organizations and legal assistance providers to provide legal assistance for
          victims of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault;
                    (2) to implement, expand, and establish efforts and projects to provide legal assistance for victims of
          domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault by organizations with a demonstrated history of
          providing direct legal or advocacy services on behalf of these victims; and
                    (3)  to provide training, technical assistance, and data collection to improve the capacity of grantees and
          other entities to offer legal assistance to victims of domestic violence, stalking, and sexual assault.
Grant funds may not be used for certain activities.  Prohibited activities include but are not limited to civil legal
assistance for the following:
                    Alleged batterers or, in the case of mutual arrest, the predominant aggressor.
                    Law reform initiatives, including but not limited to litigation.
B.   Special Interest Categories
In Fiscal Year (FY) 2002, the Violence Against Women Office (VAWO) is interested in funding projects that respond to the unmet
legal needs of victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking within the special interest categories.  Applicants are not
required to address special interest categories; however, applications that do so will receive priority consideration.  All applicants that
are not sexual assault or domestic violence victim services programs are required to collaborate with one.  (See Coordination with
Nonprofit, Nongovernmental Sexual Assault and/or Domestic Violence Programs, page 11,  for more information.)  In addition,
VAWO encourages all applicants to develop programs to reach diverse and traditionally underserved populations, including racial,
cultural, or ethnic minorities; persons with disabilities; language minorities; or victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and
stalking in rural or inner-city areas.  The following list does not imply any ordering of priorities among categories.
     1.   Establish or strengthen direct legal services programs to make a broad range of legal assistance readily
     available to domestic violence and stalking victims.
In many communities, direct legal services organizations provide free or low-cost legal services to victims. Programs vary, however,
in their ability to provide assistance for the full range of legal needs of victims. Domestic violence and stalking victims should be able
to turn to one resource to obtain an attorney's representation in or assistance with legal matters arising as a consequence of the abuse
or violence, including family, immigration, administrative agency, or housing matters, protection or stay away order proceedings and
other similar matters.
     2.   Establish or strengthen projects focused solely or primarily on providing a broad range of legal assistance to
     victims of sexual assault.
Approximately 500,000 women are estimated to be victims of some form of rape or sexual assault each year.  The National Violence
Against Women Survey estimated that 14.8 percent of adult women in the United States had been raped sometime during their lives
and that another 2.8 percent had been victims of an attempted rape.  Friends and acquaintances of victims commit more than half of
these crimes; intimate partners commit another quarter.  Strangers are responsible for about one in five rapes or sexual assaults.
Approximately 70 percent of rapes and sexual assaults are not reported to police.  Often, many sexual assault victims cannot obtain
appropriate, comprehensive legal services because of the lack of affordable, appropriately trained attorneys.  Sexual assault victims
should be able to turn to one resource to obtain an attorney's representation or assistance legal matters arising as a consequence of the
abuse or violence, including family, immigration, administrative agency, or housing matters, protection or stay away order
proceedings and other similar matters.
     3.   Establish or strengthen programs that assist victims of domestic violence, stalking and sexual assault on lands
     within the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe.
The average annual violent crime rate among American Indians is approximately 2.5 times higher than the national rate.  Rates of
violence in every age group are higher among American Indians than that of all races.  The average annual rate of sexual assault
among American Indians is 3.5 times higher than all races.  Seventeen percent (17%) of all Native women will be stalked during
their lifetimes.  Unfortunately, the modern barriers Indian women face when confronting domestic violence, sexual assault, and
stalking are considerable.  American Indian and Alaska Natives living on reservations, rancherias and pueblos, or in villages,
frequently do not have access to telephones, transportation, or any other form of emergency services.   The combination of geographic
isolation, lack of emergency services, and lack of knowledge of the justice system leaves many victims without any means of
accessing assistance.  Many victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking also lack access to legal assistance.  VAWO is
interested in programs designed to meet a broad range of victims' legal needs as well as projects with multidisciplinary components
that serve victims on  lands within the jurisdiction of an Indian tribe.
     4.   Establish or strengthen legal advocacy programs operated out of or under the direct auspices of domestic
     violence or sexual assault victim services organizations or shelters.
Victims who contact rape crisis centers or domestic violence shelters are often in need of immediate legal assistance or advice.  Some
crisis centers and shelters have established legal assistance programs by arranging with one or more lawyers to provide services to
resident and/or nonresident victims.  Others coordinate representation from among a cadre of lawyers who are willing to provide
victims with  pro bono or low-cost legal representation.  An essential component of such programs is training that would ensure
representation by qualified attorneys and/or legal advocates knowledgeable about the law and the dynamics of domestic violence,
sexual assault, and stalking.
     5.   Establish or strengthen law school clinical programs that provide direct legal representation to victims of
     sexual assault, domestic violence, and/or stalking.
Clinical programs in law schools provide direct representation of victims to meet the full range of their legal needs. In addition, they
train law students in substantive law and the dynamics of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.  These law students are
future lawyers, judges, and policy makers.  Regardless of the field in which they ultimately work, they will bring to the justice system
an enhanced sensitivity to the issues of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking.
Law school clinical programs that provide representation for victims seeking civil protection orders are eligible for consideration
under this special interest category.  VAWO also is interested in programs designed to meet a broader range of victims' legal needs as
well as projects that develop multidisciplinary components.  For example, a law school clinical course could be co-taught and co-
supervised by a mental health professional and law professor, or a component of the program could provide assistance in emergency
medical facilities.
     6.   Establish collaborative efforts among victim services programs and local agencies, local services (such as
     public housing agencies, hospitals, health clinics, public schools, campuses, and public libraries)  or local
     businesses to provide on-site legal advocacy and/or legal assistance information in places where sexual assault,
     stalking, and domestic violence victims are likely to go.
To increase the reach of legal assistance programs serving victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking, VAWO promotes
collaboration among community groups that may not have previously worked together.  Through this approach, programs can provide
assistance and information to victims in places that ensure privacy and safety. Some jurisdictions, for example, provide an attorney in
a community health clinic.
     7.   Establish or strengthen programs to recruit, train, and coordinate attorneys who will provide pro bono legal
     assistance to sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence victims.
Attorneys who provide pro bono representation to sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence victims help to close some of the
gaps in services for these victims.  They handle cases in communities where there are no, or limited, legal services; they handle the
overflow from existing legal services programs; and they sometimes provide the impetus for attorneys to turn their efforts full-time to
representing these victims. VAWO recognizes that such representation never can be the only source of representation for victims--
most lawyers are able to take on only a handful of pro bono cases each year.  At the same time, there is tremendous value in ensuring
that attorneys who accept such cases are well-trained on the dynamics and impact of sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence.
Grants may support the development and implementation of pro bono programs by bar associations.  This could include programs that
recruit law firms to train attorneys in a firm to work as a domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking "department"; the recruitment
and training of lawyers from diverse practice areas who must agree to take a minimum number of cases pro bono; or other means of
coordinating the training and assignment of pro bono attorneys.  Key components of such programs would be the recruitment, training,
and ongoing mentoring of attorneys, the mandatory acceptance of a minimum number of  pro bono cases following the completion of
training, as well as the referral and placement of  victims with attorneys who have completed the program.  The use of grant funds to
support pro bono efforts is limited to twenty-five (25) percent of the overall project budget.
     C.   Minimum Requirements
To be eligible for an award under the Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program, applicants shall certify in writing that they are in
compliance with the following statutory requirements:
                     (1) any person providing legal assistance through a program funded under (this Program) has completed or will
          complete training in connection with domestic violence or sexual assault and related legal issues;
                    (2) any training program conducted in satisfaction of the requirement of paragraph (1) has been or will be developed
          with input from and in collaboration with a state, local, or tribal domestic violence or sexual assault program or
          coalition, as well as appropriate state and local law enforcement officials;
                    (3) any person or organization providing legal assistance through a program funded under (this Program) has informed
          and will continue to inform State, local, or tribal domestic violence or sexual assault programs and coalitions, as well as
          appropriate State and local law enforcement officials of their work; and
                    (4) the grantee's organizational policies do not require mediation or counseling involving offenders and victims
          physically together, in cases where sexual assault, domestic violence, or child sexual abuse is an issue.
In addition, grantees must:
          Provide comprehensive legal services to sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence victims.
          Services should include referral and/or representation for emergency and nonemergency protection order hearings and other
     legal matters arising as a consequence of the abuse or violence, including family, immigration, administrative agency, or
     housing matters, protection or stay away order proceedings, and other similar matters.
          Coordinate with local nonprofit, nongovernmental sexual assault and/or domestic violence programs.
          All applicants must enter into formal, respectful collaborations with nonprofit, nongovernmental sexual assault and/or domestic
     violence programs (e.g. rape crisis centers, local battered women's shelters, victim advocacy organizations or coalitions).
     While a limited number of legal services programs around the country are already operated by sexual assault and/or domestic
     violence programs, most legal services programs have not traditionally collaborated with domestic violence or sexual assault
     organizations.  To promote and enhance these partnerships, the Legal Assistance for Victims Program requires that all
     applicants submit a memorandum of understanding, signed by the leadership of all agencies or organizations participating in
     the proposed project.  (See Sample Memorandum of Understanding, Appendix H, for more details.)  Similarly, the budget for
     the proposed project should reflect appropriate compensation for staff from the participating sexual assault and/or domestic
     violence programs and legal services programs.  (See instructions for completing the Budget and Budget-Narrative, at
     Appendix E.)
          Implement guidelines outlined in The Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Recipients' Policy Manual.
          Successful applicant will receive and are encouraged to implement, to the extent possible, protocols directed at enhancing
     victim safety.  These include, at a minimum, conflict of interest, confidentiality, screening for domestic violence, and
     providing services to enhance the safety of victims.
     D.   Activities That May Compromise Victim Safety
Victim-centered, comprehensive legal services are critical to ensuring safety and stability for sexual assault, stalking, and domestic
violence victims.  Experience has shown that certain practices compromise victim safety and fail to hold perpetrators accountable for
their criminal behavior.  To enhance victim safety and hold perpetrators accountable, applicants are discouraged from proposing
any of the activities listed below:
          Mediation, alternate dispute resolution, or joint counseling as a response to domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
     Mediation implies that both parties are responsible for the perpetrator's violent behavior, a message that blames victims and
     fails to hold offenders accountable for their crimes.  Mediation also presumes that both parties have equal power and can
     negotiate a mutually agreeable settlement.  Where there is domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, however, one party
     has controlled the other through sexual, physical, emotional, and/or economic abuse. Even the most skilled mediator or
     therapist cannot shift the balance of power when one party has abused or assaulted the other, making mediation and joint
     counseling dangerous and ineffective in such cases.
          Policies or practices that discourage accepting cases for victims who do not have physical evidence.  A thoughtful analysis is
     required when making a determination as to whether a person seeking services is a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault,
     or stalking.  The absence of physical bruises, court records, police reports, and/or medical records does not mean that the
     applicant seeking services is not a victim.   Offenders often threaten and isolate victims to deter them from seeking any outside
     assistance or cooperating with prosecutors.  Consequently, records or other written documentation substantiating the abuse
     may not exist.
          Refusal to represent victims who are also respondents/defendants.  Domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking victims are
     sometimes named as respondents or defendants in civil or criminal cases, as a result of  improper dual arrests, mutual
     protection orders, or retaliatory law suits.  Screening procedures should be based on an evaluation of the applicant's entire
     history rather than solely on the existence of pending criminal charges or civil protection orders.
          Representation on the condition that victims seek protection orders, counseling, or some other course of action with which they
     disagree.  Victims are in the best position to know what actions could increase or jeopardize their safety.   Legal service
     providers should offer options to clients and information about possible legal remedies and available social services.  Imposing
     uniform remedies might compromise victim safety or recovery.
          Failure to conduct safety planning with clients.  Attorney and nonattorney project personnel must routinely review safety
     planning options with clients.  All project personnel must be aware of the risk of future harm that many victims seeking help
     experience. In addition to exercising legal options, it is critical to develop comprehensive safety plans with clients.
Eligibility for Awards
     A.   Eligible Grantees
Eligible grantees for this program by statute are private, nonprofit entities, Indian tribal governments, and publicly funded
organizations not acting in their governmental capacity. To be eligible for a grant, applicants are required to enter into a collaborative
working relationship with a nonprofit, nongovernmental domestic violence and/or sexual assault program from the community to be
served.  (See Application Guidelines - Coordination with Nonprofit, Nongovernmental Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
Programs on page 11 for additional information.)
Only FY 1998 and FY 2000 grantees and new applicants are eligible to apply for FY 2002  funding.   Recipients of FY 1999 funding
or FY 2001 funding and their project partners are not eligible to apply regardless of whether they propose services for a
different geographical area.   However, recipients of FY 1999 funding who did not receive a FY 2001 continuation award are
eligible to apply for FY 2002 funding.  Additionally, an applicant or project partner may submit only one Legal Assistance for
Victims Grant Program applications per fiscal year.  All awards are subject to the availability of FY 2002 appropriations.
     B.   Types of Applicants
Victim services programs should meet all of the following criteria in order to be eligible for funding:
         Victim services programs must, as one of their primary purposes, provide services to victims of domestic violence, sexual
     assault, dating violence, or stalking.
          Experts view domestic violence as a pattern of coercive behavior that is used by one person to gain power and control over a
     current or former intimate partner.  This pattern of behavior may include physical or sexual violence, emotional and
     psychological intimidation, threats, verbal abuse, stalking, isolation, and economic control.  Applicants should be aware that
     when victims of domestic violence flee from abuse, perpetrators of domestic violence frequently claim to be victims in order to
     locate their former victims, punish them for leaving, or regain control over victims through legal proceedings.  Organizations
     that claim to assist victims but actually assist perpetrators in regaining control over victims are not eligible for support.
     Moreover, in cases of dual arrest or cross allegations of abuse, projects must not provide victim services to the primary or
     predominant aggressor.
          Victim services programs must reflect (e.g. through mission statements or training for all staff) an understanding that the
     violence perpetrated against victims is grounded in an abuse of power by offenders, reinforced through intimidation and
     coercion, sanctioned by traditional societal and cultural norms, and supported by the legal system's historically discriminatory
     response to domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking crimes.
          Victim services programs must have this understanding because existing cultural and legal norms validate perpetrator
     conduct, compromise victim safety, discourage social support for victims, and perpetuate societal tolerance of the violence.  In
     the context of these norms, perpetrator conduct impedes the liberty and autonomy of victims, creates fear of the perpetrator,
     causes physical and/or psychological injury, and limits the victim's access to services.  The philosophy of victim services
     programs must reject the use of violence and intimidation to perpetuate these and other forms of inequality.
         Victim services programs must address a demonstrated need in their communities by providing services that promote the
     integrity and self sufficiency of victims, improve their access to resources, and create options for victims seeking safety from
     perpetrator violence.
          A lack of services alone does not demonstrate the need for a particular program to be funded.  Rather, applicants should
     determine whether there is a demonstrated need for the proposed services and whether the applicant would serve a significant
     number of victims who do not otherwise have access to resources such as safe housing, economic self sufficiency, advocacy
     and counseling, and culturally appropriate services.  Services must be designed to restore victim autonomy and liberty, for
     example, by assisting victims when perpetrators have denied them access to financial resources such as family income or bank
     accounts.
         Victim services programs must not engage in activities that compromise victim safety.
          Examples of activities that compromise victim safety include, but are not limited to:  mediation, alternative dispute resolution,
     couples counseling, or any other intervention that implies that both parties are responsible for the perpetrator's violence;
     failing to respect victim autonomy and decision making; intervention or counseling programs for perpetrators that do not use
     the coercive power of the criminal justice system to hold them accountable for their behavior, such as anger or stress
     management programs; and providing perpetrators with confidential information about the whereabouts or activities of
     victims or their families.
         Legal services programs must consult and coordinate with nonprofit, nongovernmental victim services programs including
     sexual assault and domestic violence victim services programs.
          Applicants must demonstrate that they have consulted and coordinated in a meaningful way with sexual assault and domestic
     violence victim services programs or coalitions.
Availability of Funds
     A.   Award Period
The award period for new and continuation grants will be 24 months.  Budgets must reflect 24 months of project activity.
     B.   Award Amount
Applicants should carefully consider the resources needed to successfully implement the project proposed and present a realistic
budget that accurately reflects project costs.  Continuation budgets should be based on FY 2000 budget amounts.  OJP may elect to
make grants for greater or lesser amounts than requested and to negotiate the scope of work with applicants prior to award of a grant.
Please note, all awards are subject to the availability of FY 2002 appropriations.
     C.   Future Funding
The Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program is a discretionary grant program.  There is no guarantee of continuation funding.
Current grantees should provide a detailed explanation of the effectiveness of the existing program and how effectiveness is
measured.  All applicants should describe how project activities will be maintained and/or institutionalized in the absence of
continued federal support. All applicants are required to include a statement describing willingness and ability to continue the
proposed project after the Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program funds are no longer available.
Program Guidelines
     A.   Exclusive Provision of Services to Sexual Assault, Stalking, and Domestic Violence Victims
All applicants for Legal Assistance for Victims grants are required to ensure that services supported by these funds will be provided to
sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence victims who cannot afford legal services as determined by the lead applicant or project
partner after an intake interview with the prospective client.
VAWO recognizes that the client base of most direct legal services providers includes more than sexual assault, stalking, and domestic
violence victims.  Any organization that has this broader client base must implement a conflict of interest screening process that will
ensure that no civil or criminal legal matter is handled for the abuser of a client.
     B.   Coordination with STOP Formula Grants Program and Other Federal Efforts
Applicants are required to submit a copy of their applications to the state agency that administers the STOP Formula Grants Program.
In addition, applicants must indicate whether this project falls within the scope of the state's STOP and Byrne Formula Grant
statewide strategies.  Lists of STOP and Byrne state agencies can be found in Appendices I and J.
     C.   Violence Against Women Office Technical Assistance Program
Grant recipients must agree to work closely with VAWO staff and technical assistance providers. VAWO strongly encourages
successful applicants to participate in training and technical assistance events sponsored by VAWO.  As participation in technical
assistance events will often involve out-of-state travel, applicants are required to include funds in the project budget to support travel
costs associated with these activities (See Budget and Budget Narrative on page 22).
     D.   Coordination with Nonprofit, Nongovernmental Domestic Violence or Sexual Assault Programs
All applicants are required to enter into formal, respectful collaborations with nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations serving
sexual assault, stalking, and/or domestic violence victims.
     E.   Information Collection
Grantees must collect and maintain data that measure the impact of services provided to victims, including the number of victims
served and the number of victims seeking services who could not be served.  Specifically, VAWO is seeking baseline data to illustrate
the impact before and after implementation of any grant-supported services.  Additionally, an analysis of how the project's work is
integrated with other VAWO funded community projects is required where applicable.  A plan as to how information collection will
be accomplished must be included in the applicant's proposal.
     F.   Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program Evaluation
The Legal Assistance for Victims Grant Program will be evaluated for impact and effectiveness, to document program outcomes, and
to determine the impact of coordination among community-based services on victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.
Evaluators may visit grantee sites to collect data for these evaluations. Grantees and project partners are required to cooperate in these
evaluations and provide all requested information.  In addition, successful applicants and their project partners are required to conduct
local evaluations or assessments of their projects.  See paragraph E.
Administrative Requirements
     A.   Assurances
This package includes a list of assurances that the applicant must comply with to receive federal funds under this program.  It is the
responsibility of the recipient of the federal funds to fully understand and comply with these requirements.  Failure to comply may
result in the withholding of funds, termination of the award, or other sanctions.
     B.   Purchase of American-Made Equipment and Products
To the greatest extent possible, all equipment and products purchased with grant funds should be American-made as required by the
FY 1997 Appropriations Act.
     C.   Supplanting Prohibition
An applicant may not use federal funds to reduce and/or replace state and local funds, thereby reducing the total amount available for
the stated project.
     D.   Human Subject Testing
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is a signatory to the federal policy on protection of human subjects of research, the "Common Rule."
DOJ's incorporation of the Common Rule is set forth in 28 CFR pt. 46 - Protection of Human Subjects, which requires that research
involving human subjects be submitted to an independent review board for approval and that informed consent procedures be
followed. The policies set forth in 28 CFR Part 46 apply to all research involving human subjects conducted, supported, or otherwise
subject to regulation by any federal department or agency that has adopted the Common Rule. Federal funds may not be expended for
research involving human subjects unless the requirements of this policy have been satisfied, unless the research is covered by an
exemption set forth in 28 CFR pt. 46.
The applicant must indicate whether the project or activity in its application includes research that may involve human subjects, as
defined in 28 CFR pt. 46.
     E.   Certification Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free
     Workplace Requirements
The applicant must agree to the Certification Regarding Lobbying, Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters; and
Drug-Free Workplace Requirements forms.  The applicant must agree to comply with the following requirements:
               1.   Lobbying: The applicant and its subgrantees, contractors, and subcontractors will not use federal funds for lobbying and
          will disclose any lobbying activities.
               2.   Debarment: The applicant and its principals have not been debarred or suspended from federal benefits and/or no such
          proceedings have been initiated against them; have not been convicted of, indicted for, or criminally or civilly charged
          by a government entity for fraud, violation of antitrust statutes, embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or
          destruction of records, making false statements, or receiving stolen property; and have not had a public transaction
          terminated for cause or default.
               3.   Drug-Free Workplace: The applicant will provide or continue to provide a drug-free workplace. Signing this form
          commits the applicant to compliance with the certification requirements under 28 CFR pt. 69, New Restrictions on
          Lobbying, and 28 CFR pt. 67, Governmentwide Debarment and Suspension (Nonprocurement) and Governmentwide
          Requirements for Drug-Free Workplace (Grants).  The certification will be treated as a material representation of the
          fact on which the U.S. Department of Justice will rely in making awards.
     F.   Single Point of Contact Review
Executive Order 12372 requires applicants from state and local units of government or other organizations providing services within a
state to submit a copy of the application to the state single point of contact (SPOC), if one exists, and if this program has been selected
for review by the state.   Applicants must contact the state SPOC to determine if the program has been selected for state review.  The
date that the application was sent to the SPOC or the reason such submission is not required should be entered in block 16 on the
Application for Federal Assistance, SF-424.
     G.   Civil Rights Compliance
All recipients of federal grant funds are required to comply with nondiscrimination requirements contained in federal laws.  In the
event that a court or administrative agency makes a finding of discrimination on grounds of race, color, religion, national origin,
gender, disability, or age against a recipient of funds after a due process hearing, the recipient must agree to forward a copy of the
finding to the Office for Civil Rights of the Office of Justice Programs.  All applicants should read the Assurances required with the
application funds to understand the applicable legal and administrative requirements.
Reporting Requirements
     A.   Financial Status Report
Financial status reports (SF 269-A) are due quarterly on the 45th day following the end of each calendar quarter.  A report must be
submitted every quarter the award is active even if there has been no financial activity during the reporting period.  The final report is
due 120 days after the end date of the award.  Future awards and fund drawdowns will be withheld if the financial status reports are
delinquent.
     B.   Audit Requirements
Non-federal entities that expend $300,000 or more in Federal funds (from all sources including pass-through subawards) in the
organization's fiscal year shall have a single organization-wide audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-
133.  The audit report is due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse not later than nine months after the end of the recipient's fiscal year.
     C.   Semiannual Progress Report
Recipients of funding are required to submit semiannual progress reports.  The progress reports describe activities during the reporting
period and the status or accomplishment of objectives as set forth in the approved application for funding.  Progress reports must be
submitted within 30 days after the end of the reporting periods, which are January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December
31 for the life of the award.  A final report, which provides a summary of progress toward achieving the goals and objectives of the
award, significant results, and any products developed under the award, is due 120 days after the end date of the award.  Report format
will be provided to the recipient by the Office of Justice Programs.  Future awards and fund drawdowns may be withheld if the
progress reports are delinquent.
Suspension or Termination of Funding
The Office of Justice Programs may suspend funding in whole or in part, terminate funding, or impose another sanction on a recipient
for the following reasons:
          Failure to comply substantially with the requirements or statutory objectives of the Violence Against Women Act of 1994, the
     Violence Against Women Act of 2000, program guidelines issued thereunder, or other provisions of federal law.
          Failure to make satisfactory progress toward the goals, objectives, or strategies set forth in this application.
          Failure to adhere to the requirements in the agreement, standard conditions, or special conditions.
          Implementing substantial plan changes to the extent that, if originally submitted, the application would not have been selected
     for funding.
          Filing a false certification in this application or other report or document.
Before imposing sanctions, the Office of Justice Programs will provide reasonable notice to the recipient of its intent to impose
sanctions and will attempt informally to resolve the problem.  Hearing and appeal procedures will follow those in Department of
Justice regulations described in 28 CFR pt.18.

               g.   How Effectiveness Will be Measured (not to exceed one page):
                    This section should describe the criteria that would be used to measure the project's effectiveness.  It should explain
          how the review would be conducted and identify the specific data collection and analysis techniques to be used.  The
          review should be designed to provide an objective assessment of the effectiveness of the procedures, technology, or
          services supported with grant funds.  Whenever appropriate, the review process should be designed to provide ongoing
          or periodic feedback on the effectiveness or utility of particular programs, educational offerings, or achievements,
          which could then be further refined as a result of the review process.
          As a special condition to the award, grantees will be required to collect and maintain data that measures the
          effectiveness of the jurisdiction's current and prior efforts to combat domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking.
          As a result of VAWA 2000, and in connection with prior programmatic reporting requirements, all grantees are now
          required by statute to report on the effectiveness of their programs. Further, VAWO must now report to Congress on the
          information about program effectiveness that is received from all grantees.  Specifically, OJP is seeking data that
          includes baseline information to illustrate the impact before and after implementation of any strategies to address
          domestic violence.  Data of particular interest to OJP includes, but is not limited to, persons served and type of service
          provided, detailing the type of case (domestic violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking) and the type of legal assistance
          provided, and persons seeking services who could not be served.  In addition to listing the persons that received
          services during each respective reporting period, the grantee shall detail each project attorney's and advocate's
                              caseload.
               h.   How the Project will be Sustained (not to exceed one page):
                    All applicants should submit a statement describing the willingness and ability to continue the proposed project
               after Legal Assistance for Victims Grant funds are no longer available.
               i.   Related Federal Projects:
                    To facilitate better coordination with the STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grants Program and other
               federal agencies, each applicant must show how the proposed project would complement other initiatives
               supported with federal funds. Applicants are required to provide the following information in the application:
                    (1) A list of active federal grant awards (from the Department of Justice or otherwise) already supporting this or
               related efforts, including the program or project title; the federal grant making agency; the federal award
               amount; and a very brief description of the project purpose.
                    (2) Information on any pending application/s for federal money for this or related efforts.
                    (3) How existing efforts would be coordinated with the funding sought through this application.
                    (4) How the proposed project complements the state's STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grants
               Program Implementation Plan and Byrne Formula Grant Statewide Strategy (lists of state STOP and Byrne
               agencies are in Appendices I and J, respectively). Note: Applications that do not fall within the scope of these
               statewide strategies will not be disqualified from the review process.
     5.   Budget and Budget Narrative
          Each application must include a detailed budget and budget narrative for the project.  The budget must be complete,
     reasonable, and cost-effective in relation to the proposed project.  The budget should provide the basis for the computation of
     all project-related costs.  It should cover the cost of all components of the project and clearly identify costs attributable to the
     project evaluation.  There must be a clear link between the proposed activities and the proposed budget items.    In developing
     the budget, applicants should bear in mind that all partners should be fairly compensated for their participation in any project-
     related activities, including but not limited to compensation for time and travel expenses to attend or provide training and/or
     mentoring.  The budget must include compensation for services rendered by all partners, including nonprofit,
     nongovernmental domestic violence victims programs and sexual assault programs (e.g., shelters and advocacy
     organizations).  Match is not required for this grant program, but applicants are encouraged to maximize the impact of federal
     grant dollars by contributing to the costs of their projects.  Supplemental contributions may be cash, in-kind services, or a
     combination of both. Applicants should carefully consider the resources needed to successfully implement the project
     proposed and present a realistic budget that accurately reflects project costs.  Continuation budgets should not greatly exceed
     FY 2000 budgets.
          Consultant rates in excess of $450 per day require prior approval by VAWO.
          All applicants must allocate funds for travel costs associated with technical assistance and capacity-building activities
     (e.g., training institutes, site consultations, audio- and video-conferences) sponsored by OJP-designated technical
     assistance providers.   The amount that should be included in the "travel" category for these activities is $10,000 for
     local and individual tribal projects or $15,000 for statewide (statewide projects are those that propose to service 10 or
     more counties) and tribal consortium projects.  Please provide an estimated breakdown for this amount (include the
     number of trips, number of travelers, airfare or mileage, lodging , and per diem).
          Applicants also are urged to include funds in their budgets to attend financial management training seminars sponsored by
     OJP's Office of the Comptroller. These seminars instruct participants in the financial administration of OJP formula and
     discretionary grants programs.  A schedule listing the financial training seminars is available at
     www.ojp.usdoj.gov/oc/fmts.htm.
          A Budget Detail Worksheet is included in this package.  You will submit your budget and budget narrative online.  However,
     when preparing these items, please use the budget worksheet as a guide, including all the required budget categories, as
     needed.  The budget should clearly describe:
               a.   The proposed amount and uses of grant funds over the grant period.
          b.   How the amounts of the specific budget items were determined.
          If an applicant's project is selected for funding, instructions on how to obtain award monies will be forwarded to the grant
     recipient.
     6.   Memorandum of Understanding
          Each application must include, as an attachment, a current (i.e., signed and dated in calendar year 2002) MOU developed and
     signed by the chief executive officers and/or directors of all participating agencies including nonprofit, nongovernmental
     programs, legal services programs, Indian tribal governments and public entities not acting in their public function.  See
     Sample MOU in Appendix H.  The Memorandum of Understanding must:
                    provide a brief history of the collaborative relationship among the partners, including when and under what
          circumstances the relationship began and when each partner joined the collaboration;
                    describe any changes in the collaboration, including an explanation or description of any new or additional partners
          that have been added or any partners that would no longer participate;
                    specify the extent of each party's participation in developing the application;
                    clearly state the roles and responsibilities each organization or agency will assume to ensure the success of the
          proposed project;
                    identify the representatives of the planning and development team who will be responsible for planning, developing,
          and implementing project activities and describe how they will work together and how they will work with project
          staff;
                    demonstrate a commitment on the part of all partners to work together to achieve stated project goals;
                    indicate approval of the proposed project budget by all signing parties; and
                    describe the resources each partner will contribute to the project either through time, in-kind contribution, or with the
          use of grant funds (for example, office space, project staff, training).
          Letters of support may not be submitted in lieu of the MOU.  Victim service agencies may submit a Memorandum in Support
     of Request for Exemption in lieu of an MOU for VAWO's review and approval.  See Sample Memorandum in Support of
     Request for Exemption at Appendix H.
          After you have completed the SF-424 and attached the project narrative and budget worksheets in GMS and received

       on lines "b-f," as appropriate.
       16
       State Executive Order 12372: Some states require you to submit your application to a State "Single Point of
       Contact" (SPOC) to coordinate applications for Federal funds within the state. If your State requires a copy of your
       application, indicate the date submitted. If a copy is not required, indicate the reason. (Refer to the "Administrative
       Requirements" section of the program announcement, for more information.) The SPOC is not responsible for
       forwarding your application to the Federal awarding agency.
