Discretionary grants are awarded directly by OJP bureaus and offices to state and local agencies and private organizations. In addition to these five bureaus, OJP includes the Violence Against Women Office, which leads a comprehensive national effort to combine tough new federal laws with assistance to states and localities in the fight against domestic violence and other crimes against women. Besides discretionary grants, a number of formula grants are awarded to states or units of local government. Other formula grants include the Violence Against Women Office STOP grant program and The Victim Compensation Formula Grants, administered by the Office for Victims of Crime. Training and technical assistance opportunities are also described in the Program Plan.
