Foreword Since the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) was enacted as Title IV of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, groundbreaking work has taken place in communities as victim advocates, police officers, prosecutors, and judges forge relationships with each other to address violence against women. VAWA has fundamentally changed the way that criminal justice agencies within local communities address victim safety and offender accountability. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 enhance this critical work by providing support to institutions of higher education to combat violent crimes against women on campuses. Violence against women -- including stalking, domestic violence, and sexual assault -- is a serious problem on campuses, as it is across the nation. On campuses, however, unique issues often arise. For instance, a battered woman or a victim of rape may continue to live in danger if her perpetrator resides in the same dormitory or attends the same classes. On smaller campuses, a victim may wish to remain anonymous but may find that everyone knows that she has been assaulted. In other cases, a victim may be harassed by classmates or by a perpetrator's friends who claim that the victim "asked for it" or "provoked" the crime. Campuses must implement a coordinated community response to violence against women to enhance victim safety and hold offenders accountable. Many campuses are beginning to address violent crimes against women by developing campus-based responses that include victim services, campus law enforcement, health services, housing officials, student organizations, and disciplinary boards. To be effective, these responses must be linked to local criminal justice agencies and service providers, including local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors' offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim-services agencies. Campuses have traditionally provided a special environment in which young people can explore ideas and learn about the world. One of the most important lessons an institution of higher education can communicate to students is that violence against women is criminal and will not be tolerated. We challenge you to think creatively about how to strengthen victim services and combat violence against women on campuses so that institutions of higher education can create safe and supportive learning environments for all students.

Appendix I Background Violence against women on college and university campuses is a serious, widespread problem. More than half of all stalking victims are between 18-29 years old and the highest rate of intimate-partner violence is among women ages 16-24. Results of several studies show that among college students the average rate of nonsexual dating violence is 32 percent. Further, sexual assault is the second most common violent crime committed on college campuses, according to a 1995 study. The study also revealed that Most perpetrators of sexual assault against college and university women are students known to the victims. More sexual assaults occur on campus than off campus. Half of the off-campus sexual assaults occur in the victims' residence and an additional one-third occur in off-campus student housing, such as fraternities. Most of the victims of sexual assaults are full-time students. Approximately one- third of them are first-year students between 17-19 years old. Almost 81 percent of on-campus and 84 percent of off-campus sexual assaults are not reported to police. Consistent with the findings of this survey, numerous other studies have also revealed that sexual assaults, as well as other forms of violence against women, are seriously underreported generally and on campuses, indicating that the problem is even more acute than the available data suggest. Victims on campus cite a number of reasons for not reporting the violence, including considering the matter to be private, being unaware or unclear that the violent behavior was in fact criminal, being embarrassed, fearing reprisals, and in some instances, relenting to peer pressure, especially when the perpetrator is a prominent member of the campus community, such as an athlete. Historically, institutions of higher education have handled crimes of violence against women through closed administrative procedures rather than by assisting victims in initiating criminal proceedings through local law enforcement agencies. This approach, however, sends a message to victims, perpetrators, and the entire campus community that violence against women is not criminal behavior. A response limited to administrative measures trivializes the seriousness of these crimes and perpetuates the acceptance and continuation of violence against women. Violence against women, including sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking, can be attributed to beliefs and attitudes that women are subordinate to men and that men have the right to exercise power and control over women. Perpetrators of violence against women often do not face criminal or social sanctions for their violent actions. Historically, social norms have permitted such behavior to flourish by supporting and reinforcing stereotypes of male entitlement and dominance. Rather than acknowledging the role of social norms, one of the most frequent factors cited for violence against women on campus is substance abuse by men and women, particularly alcohol abuse, which is disproportionately high among college students. A survey of 89,874 students at 171 institutions of higher education revealed that alcohol was involved in 74 percent of the sexual assaults. However, although alcohol may be an important, and all too frequent, exacerbating factor that contributes to violence against women on campuses, alcohol consumption does not cause these crimes and is never an excuse for sexual assault or any other act of violence. Perpetrators of domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault who are substance abusers have two distinct problems -- abusing alcohol and committing violence against women -- requiring two separate solutions. Addressing alcohol abuse will solve only the substance abuse problem. Violence against women will continue to exist because of beliefs and attitudes about gender roles that result in the abuse of women, whether or not alcohol is involved. Therefore, proposals that focus primarily on alcohol and substance abuse will not be supported under this grant program. Alcohol and drugs, however, do play a role in violence against women crimes when perpetrators use these substances to subdue their victims prior to the sexual assault. Drugs, such as Rohypnol and GHB, can be easily consumed by unsuspecting victims. Within 15 to 30 minutes of ingestion, the drugs may produce effects ranging from drowsiness, impaired memory or judgment, loss of motor skills, and dizziness to loss of consciousness. Victims often do not remember the attack itself but wake up knowing that something is wrong. For these reasons, an assault may not be reported to the police for several days, if at all, and victims may have difficulty testifying in court about the assault. Most institutions have policies regarding underage drinking, substance abuse, and other personal conduct. Often these alcohol-related policies can inhibit female victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking from reporting these crimes to authorities for fear of being held in violation of campus drinking prohibitions. Higher education institutions, therefore, are encouraged not to penalize students who report violence or assaults in which alcohol, drugs, or other prohibited activities are involved. Unlike their counterparts in the larger community, women students victimized by other students often face additional challenges in a "closed" campus environment. For instance, stalking victims may find it difficult to escape their tormentors because the stalker may have a seemingly "legitimate" reason for remaining in contact with or in proximity to the victim (e.g., attending class or studying in the library). Similarly, the fear and anguish suffered by rape victims may continue if they attend the same classes or live in the same dormitory as their rapists. Even changing class schedules or living arrangements may not eliminate the threat of encountering the perpetrator on campus. The campus community can create large-scale social change by adopting policies and protocols that treat violence against women as serious offenses and by developing victim services and programs that make victim safety, offender accountability, and prevention of such crimes a high priority. Institutions of higher education are in a unique position to educate young men and women about violence against women and to help shape values, attitudes, and behavior that students will carry with them into their adulthood. Through their policies, protocols, and actions, colleges and universities can demonstrate to every student that violence against women in any form will not be tolerated and that sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence are crimes with serious legal consequences. Scope of the Program Congress has appropriated $10 million for the Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campuses Program for fiscal year 2000. The scope of the program is outlined by the program purposes and the special interest categories set forth below. The Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campuses Program provides a unique opportunity for institutions of higher education to develop multidisciplinary consortia to address violence against women on campus with victim services and improved security and investigation strategies. A. Program Purposes Grant funds may be used for the following statutory purposes: To provide personnel, training, technical assistance, data collection, and equipment for apprehending, investigating, and adjudicating persons committing violent crimes against women on campus. To train campus administrators, security personnel, and disciplinary or judicial board members to identify and respond more effectively to violent crimes against women on campus, including sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence. To implement and operate education programs for the prevention of violent crimes against women. To develop, enlarge, or strengthen support services programs, including medical or psychological counseling, for victims of sexual offense crimes. To create, disseminate, or otherwise provide assistance and information about victims' options on and off campus to bring disciplinary or other legal action. To develop and implement more effective campus policies, protocols, orders, and services devoted to preventing, identifying, and responding to violent crimes against women on campus, including sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence. To develop, install, or expand data collection and communication systems, including computerized systems linking campus security to local law enforcement for identifying and tracking arrests, protection orders, violations of protection orders, prosecutions, and convictions for violent crimes against women on campus, including sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence. To develop, enlarge, or strengthen victim service programs for campuses and to improve delivery of victim services on campus. To provide capital improvements (including improved lighting and communications facilities but excluding the construction of buildings) on campuses to address violent crimes against women, including sexual assault, stalking, and domestic violence. To support improved coordination among campus administrators, campus security personnel, and local law enforcement to reduce violent crimes against women on campus. These strategies should be part of an overall coordinated campus and community response to violence against women on campuses. For example, if an applicant proposes to make capital improvements, such as installing improved lighting, this must be an element of a larger effort to address the problem comprehensively. B. Special Interest Categories In fiscal year 2000, the OJP' Violence Against Women Office is will give priority consideration to applications addressing one of the following special interest categories. All applications, whether they address special interest categories or not, must satisfy the minimum requirements set forth in Section C. The following list does not imply any ordering of priorities among categories. 1. Establish or strengthen comprehensive campus-based advocacy programs offering services to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking on campus. Survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking may have a range of physical and emotional needs as a result of being victimized. Comprehensive advocacy programs should assist victims with finding safety and healing, including restoring their sense of empowerment and autonomy. Victim advocates should be available to provide survivors with full information about their criminal justice and victim services options. Advocates should provide information about both internal administrative proceedings and the local criminal justice system to enable victims to make informed decisions. While victims should be given full information, they should not be pressured to testify in criminal cases if they choose not to do so. Providing direct services to victims underserved communities will be a critical part of any victim advocacy program supported under this special interest category. Services might include counseling victims; accompanying victims to hospitals, medical appointments, police stations, prosecutors' offices, court hearings, or social services appointments; providing legal advocacy; intervening with professors, resident assistants, employers, creditors, landlords, and campus administrators; helping victims relocate or transfer to other universities or to shelters or safe housing; obtaining new locks, unlisted phone numbers or e-mail addresses, or other security devices for victims; explaining internal administrative protocols and local criminal justice procedures; assisting with victim impact statements, court forms, or compensation claims; obtaining information about offender release or probation; and providing referrals. Programs also may establish community education initiatives and engage in systemic efforts to improve the campus' response to violence against women. 2. Establish or strengthen comprehensive violence against women prevention programs on campus. Male violence against women pervades college campuses in part because of social and cultural norms that condone men's use of power and control over women in intimate or physical relationships. An effective prevention program should be designed to change the current culture a culture that supports violence against women by perpetuating myths about the causes of sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking and by reinforcing language, imagery, and stereotypes that degrade women. Ongoing prevention programs should be developed in collaboration with campus or community-based victim advocacy organizations and student groups and should convey the following messages: sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking are crimes that will not be tolerated on campus; violence against women is not the victim's fault and is not caused by stress, anger, substance abuse, or poverty; and women on campus have a right to physical and emotional safety. Prevention programs should educate the entire campus community about violence against women, including students, staff, faculty, administrators, campus police and security, housing authorities, clergy, and health care providers. Prevention programs for the general campus population are important, and integrating violence against women issues into core curricula can help achieve this goal. Programs also should involve peer leadership and reflect the diversity of the student body. Ongoing programs should be tailored to the target audience. For example, athletes educated to understand the complex dynamics of violence against women could present information to sports teams; fraternity or sorority members could take leadership roles as peer counselors or as trainers conducting workshops for fraternities and sororities; and student government representatives or leaders of faith communities on campus could use their public positions to educate their constituents about violence against women. 3. Establish or strengthen violence against women programs serving diverse or traditionally underserved populations on campus. Survivors of domestic violence, stalking, or sexual assault from diverse communities frequently confront additional challenges when seeking assistance. Victims with disabilities may struggle with obstacles, such as shelters that cannot physically accommodate them or a lack of interpreters. Similarly, lesbian and bisexual women may be unable to access appropriate services, or they may be afraid to do so because of their abusers' threats to disclose their sexual orientation. International students or the spouses or partners of international students may face linguistic or cultural barriers to obtaining services. They may be fearful because of their partners' threats to have them deported if they seek help or because of prior experiences with law enforcement. Likewise, victims from racial, ethnic, or religious minority groups may fear discrimination when they attempt to obtain services, or they may be reluctant to use the criminal justice system because of past experiences. They also may face community pressure not to pursue criminal charges because of fear of polarizing the campus along racial or other lines. Projects that will be supported in this category include collaborations with members of diverse and underserved populations who are knowledgeable about violence against women to develop appropriate programs; violence against women prevention programs tailored to specific communities; training for campus police, security, victim services providers, housing authorities, and administrators about the unique issues that confront victims from certain communities; enhancing services on campus or in the community for underserved victims (e.g., hiring advocates with sign language skills for the campus rape crisis center or ensuring access to interpreter services and culturally appropriate advocacy services); and including representatives from diverse populations with expertise in violence against women in leadership roles for initiatives on campus. Projects supported in this special interest category must be developed in partnership with representatives from the communities to be served, must be community-driven, and must be tailored to respond to the needs of those specific communities. 4. Establish or strengthen violence against women programs serving nontraditional students. Nontraditional students may face particular challenges in participating in violence against women prevention programs or in obtaining access to services on campus. For instance, commuting students or students who work during the day and take evening classes may not be able to attend community education programs or support groups held in the evening. Other students, such as older students or students who have children, may need additional resources, such as transportation or daycare services, to attend victim advocacy programs or pursue legal remedies. Projects that address the unique circumstances of nontraditional students who are victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking will be considered for support. Such projects could include enhancing access to advocacy or legal services by providing nontraditional students with the resources or making services available in a location or at a time that is convenient. Similarly, outreach programs that provide information to nontraditional students by developing and distributing written materials, incorporating information about violence against women into core curricula courses, or conducting programs tailored to the needs of nontraditional students will be considered. 5. Tribal colleges and universities On October 21, 1996, President Clinton signed Executive Order 13021, reaffirming the special relationship that exists between the federal government and Native Americans by guaranteeing greater access to federal resources for tribal colleges and universities. Tribal colleges and universities are those institutions cited in section 532 of the Equity in Educational Land-Grant Status Act of 1994 (7 U.S.C. 301 note), any other institution that qualifies for funding under the Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act of 1978, (25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.), and Navajo Community College, authorized in the Navajo Community College Assistance Act of 1978, Public Law 95-471, title II (25 U.S.C. 640a note). Tribal colleges and universities are encouraged to propose projects to address violence against women on their campuses, drawing upon the unique characteristics of the communities they serve. In addition, nontribal institutions of higher education are encouraged to enter into respectful collaborative relationships or form consortia with tribal colleges and universities. 6. The development and implementation of coordinated initiatives to address stalking on campuses. Stalking generally refers to harassing or threatening behavior that an individual engages in repeatedly, such as following a person, appearing at a person's home or place of business, making harassing phone calls, leaving written messages or objects, or vandalizing a person's property. These actions may or may not be accompanied by a credible threat of serious harm, and they may or may not be precursors to an assault. Results from the National Violence Against Women Survey indicate that stalking is a much bigger problem than previously assumed and should be treated as a major criminal justice and public health concern. Recent studies also indicate that in the vast majority of stalking cases the victim and perpetrator know each other and are usually current or former intimates. In cases involving intimates, the strong link between stalking and other forms of violence between the victim and stalker suggests the need for comprehensive training on the specific safety needs of stalking victims. As such, institutions of higher education proposing to address stalking on their campuses should address the nexus between intimate partner violence and stalking. Applicants are encouraged to propose projects to provide specialized victim services and case management, review and improve campus conduct codes, train campus law enforcement personnel on appropriate responses and investigation strategies, educate students about the prevalence and incidence of stalking, and provide coordinated campus- and community-based responses to ensure the safety of victims. Applicants are encouraged to propose project activities that support an aggressive response to stalking, including appropriate sanctions for offenders. C. Minimum Requirements Institutions of higher education must propose at a minimum to do the following: Create a coordinated community response to violence against women on campus. The multidisciplinary response should involve the entire campus as well as the larger community in which the campus is located. For example, the following campus-based entities should be involved: campus based victim services providers campus based prevention programs campus security and law enforcement faculty staff administrators, including the institution's president and student affairs administrator women's centers student groups, including those representing diverse or underserved student populations the athletic department sororities and fraternities student health care providers and campus health centers and hospitals campus counseling centers campus clergy campus housing authorities and student residence hall assistants library administrators Women's Studies and other academic departments campus disciplinary boards representatives from student government Campus leadership should convey the message that domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking are serious crimes that will not be tolerated on campus. This commitment can be demonstrated through implementing campus protocols, publicly communicating expectations about appropriate conduct, and actively participating in reform efforts, such as multidisciplinary task forces involving the partners listed above. Campuses also must develop partnerships with local nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy organizations and one or more of the following criminal justice or civil legal agencies: law enforcement, prosecution, civil legal assistance providers, systems-based victim advocacy units, or judiciary and court personnel. Collaborative efforts with community partners should include the following: developing violence against women prevention programs for students; conducting training programs for staff, campus police, and faculty; revising administrative protocols for handling domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking crimes on campus; developing protocols for reporting with victim consent crimes of violence against women to local law enforcement; sharing information relevant to investigating and preparing cases; enhancing victim safety, for example, by increasing police patrols of a victim's neighborhood or area of campus; respecting victim privacy and confidentiality concerns; ensuring that participation in a criminal case does not affect a victim's academic status; enforcing protection orders; and monitoring perpetrators. Applicants must submit a memorandum of understanding documenting this collaboration. (See the section on application contents). Establish a mandatory prevention and education program about violence against women for all incoming students, working in collaboration with campus and community-based victim advocacy organizations. The program should include information about domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking crimes, including the following: how to file internal administrative complaints and local criminal charges; common myths about the causes of violence against women; the availability of resources for victims; and how to encourage peer support for victims and sanctions for offenders. To encourage reporting of violence against women crimes, campuses should consider advising students that victims who come forward to report that they have been victimized will not be penalized if they violated the institution's alcohol, substance abuse, or other policies during the violent incident. Train campus police to respond effectively in sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking cases. Training programs should be developed in collaboration with campus or community-based victim advocacy programs and should include information about relevant state and federal laws and arrest protocols; evidence collection procedures, especially in suspected drug-facilitated rape cases; the available campus and community-based resources for victims; the dynamics of violence against women; how to conduct safety planning with victims; reporting crimes to local law enforcement and prosecution with victim consent; respecting victim privacy and confidentiality concerns; enforcing orders of protection; and making primary aggressor determinations. Establish or strengthen programs to train members of campus disciplinary boards to respond effectively to violence against women charges. All members of campus disciplinary boards, including faculty, staff, students, and administrators should receive specific training about violence against women prior to hearing cases involving these issues. Knowledge about the causes and effects of violence against women could be integrated into application criteria for positions on campus disciplinary boards. Additionally, training for disciplinary board members should include the following: a review of the student code of conduct, as well as legal definitions of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking; information refuting myths about violence against women; training on the issue of consent in sexual assault cases; information about judging credibility, including the fact that a victim's use of alcohol does not mean that she is lying about an assault; information about drug-facilitated sexual assault cases; and information about appropriate sanctions, such as expulsion for students who have perpetrated domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Campus disciplinary boards should generate written findings in all cases, including appeals. Administrative procedures should protect victim safety and confidentiality and hold offenders accountable, for example, by adopting standards that preclude a victim's sexual history from being introduced and by allowing victim impact statements to be heard prior to the imposition of sanctions. Campuses which hold administrative hearings only after local criminal justice proceedings have been completed should consider the impact of this delay on victim safety and recovery. D. Activities That May Compromise Victim Safety Victim-centered programming is critical to creating an effective response to violence against women on campuses. Experience has shown that certain practices compromise victim safety and minimize perpetrators' criminal behavior. To enhance victim safety and hold perpetrators accountable, applicants are discouraged from proposing any of the activities listed below: Requiring victims to report sexual assault, stalking, or domestic violence crimes to law enforcement or forcing victims to participate in criminal proceedings. Institutions of higher education must give victims full information about criminal options and sanctions, victims' rights, and access to the criminal and civil justice systems. Institutions also must facilitate victims' access to the criminal justice system and encourage victims to report sexual assault, domestic violence, and stalking to local law enforcement. Victims should not, however, be compelled to use these systems if they are reluctant to do so. Some victims of sexual assault may feel that testifying in a criminal case would further traumatize them or interfere with their recovery. Similarly, some victims of domestic violence may be afraid to testify in criminal court because their batterers have threatened to kill them or their family members. In such cases, requiring victims to participate in the criminal case could jeopardize their safety and further victimize them. Many jurisdictions have begun to use policies permitting the state to pursue criminal charges against perpetrators without relying on victim testimony. Developing prevention programs that focus on victim behavior. Prevention programs that focus on victim behavior reinforce the myth that victims somehow provoke or cause the violence they experience. Such programs can create a false sense of security in women, who may believe that they will be safe if they follow conservative dress codes, never walk alone at night, or never drink alcohol. Prevention programs should focus instead on changing cultural norms that sanction male violence against women and on publicizing the consequences of perpetrating violence against women on campus. Offering perpetrators the option of entering diversion programs in lieu of administrative or criminal justice proceedings. Diversion programs, such as those that put alleged offenders on academic probation rather than conduct administrative hearings, are inappropriate. Diversion programs and alternative dispositions -- whether conducted on campus or in the local criminal justice system -- send a message to victims and perpetrators that violent crimes against women are less serious than other violent crimes. Diversion programs also jeopardize victim safety when they are relatively short, do not require that the offender's behavior be monitored regularly, and fail to track offender behavior over time. Mediation or counseling for couples as a response to domestic violence or sexual assault. 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 a history of domestic violence, however, one party has controlled the other through physical, emotional, or economic abuse, generally for a sustained period of time. 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 or ineffective in such cases. Intervention or counseling programs that do not use the coercive power of the criminal justice system or campus proceedings to hold perpetrators of violence against women accountable for their behavior. Incarceration, probation, and men's reeducation programs must be part of a graduated range of sanctions imposed by the criminal justice system to hold perpetrators accountable for changing their behavior. Programs that focus only on controlling anger and impulses, addressing alcohol and drug abuse, managing emotions, developing communication skills, or dealing with stress are not designed to hold batterers accountable for using violence against their intimate partners. Procedures that impose sanctions against victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Campus and criminal justice personnel working with victims should prioritize victim safety, recovery, and autonomy. This requires professionals to provide information to victims about their options and then to respect the victims' decisions. Victims should not be ordered to attend therapy or penalized for choosing not to testify in criminal cases. These types of policies can endanger some victims and reinforce feelings of disempowerment that many survivors experience as a result of being victimized. Application Guidelines Letter of Intent Institutions of higher education planning to apply for these grants are encouraged to submit a nonbinding letter of intent (sample included in Appendix I) to OJP's Violence Against Women Office no later than April 30, 2000. This letter will assist the Violence Against Women Office in approximating how many proposals to expect in response to this solicitation and to predict the number of peer reviewers needed to review competitive applications. The letter should be faxed to Kristen Roe at (202) 305-2589. Eligible Grantees Eligible grantees for this program are institutions of higher education as defined under the Higher Education Amendments of 1998. A consortium of higher education institutions may also apply for these grants provided that each individual consortium member is also eligible to apply. In fiscal year 2000, OJP's Violence Against Women Office will accept applications for Grants to Combat Violent Crime Against Women on Campuses from both new applicants and current grantees. Availability of Funds In fiscal year 2000, Congress appropriated $10 million for Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campuses. Award Period The award period for these grants will be up to 2 years. Award Amount Levels of funding requested should reflect activities described in the narrative and present a realistic budget that accurately represents project costs. Applicants should consider and describe the number of students, faculty, and staff in the campus community to be served. Awards made during fiscal year 1999 ranged from approximately $143,000 to $550,000. In fiscal year 2000, award amounts will vary based on the scope of activities proposed, the number of students served, and the number of colleges and universities participating in proposed state and local consortium projects. OJP has the right 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. Current grantees are eligible for continuation grants to supplement activities that would expand the scope of current efforts. Applications must clearly demonstrate how supplemental funding would enhance current grant activities and build on the existing project's goals and objectives. Current grantees of this program are also encouraged to apply for funds to support their projects through October 2002. Applicants are strongly discouraged from requesting support for the following: consultant rates in excess of $450 per day, capital improvements in lieu of a coordinated community response, self-defense classes for women as a primary prevention strategy, vehicles, excess personnel, packaged prevention and education curricula, or personal safety devices. Future Funding The Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women on Campuses Program is a discretionary grant program. There is no guarantee of continuation funding. While the OJP will make every effort to provide continuation funding to successful projects, grant recipients should plan for institutionalization of project activities in the absence of continued federal support. Coordination with STOP Formula Grant Program and Other Federal Efforts To ensure consistency in state goals for reducing violence against women, all applicants are required to submit a copy of their applications to the state agency that administers the STOP Formula Grant 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 G and H. Violence Against Women Office Technical Assistance Program Grant recipients must agree to work closely with staff from OJP's Violence Against Women Office and OJP's designated contractors providing technical assistance. Grant recipients will be asked to identify advocates from campus and local victim service programs; campus and community law enforcement and criminal justice agencies; campus administrators, faculty, and staff; and other representatives from the campus community to participate in institutes, workshops, and other technical assistance events. 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. Coordination with Nonprofit, Nongovernmental Victim Advocacy Programs All applicants are required to enter into formal, respectful collaborations with nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations serving victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and stalking. Advocates must be involved in the development and implementation of the project and appropriate compensation must be reflected in the budget. Information Collection Pursuant to section 826 (d)(3) of the Higher Education Amendments Act of 1998, the Attorney General is required to submit annual reports to Congress on grants made under this program. The annual report must include a statistical summary of the persons served, detailing the nature of the victimization and providing data on age, sex, race, ethnicity, language, disability, and relationship to offender. Institutions of higher education selected for funding will be required to comply with data collection efforts necessary for the completion of these reports. Evaluation Applicants who become grantees will be required to cooperate with an OJP-sponsored national program evaluation and provide information required for the evaluation or assessment of any grant activities. NOTE: Projects to evaluate existing programs addressing violence against women on campuses cannot be funded through this program. Administrative Requirements Supplanting Prohibition Federal funds must be used to supplement existing funds for program activities and may not replace (supplant) nonfederal funds that have been appropriated for the same purpose. Potential supplanting will be the subject of monitoring and audit. Violations can result in a range of penalties, including suspension of future funds under this program, suspension or debarment from federal grants, recoupment of monies provided under this grant, and civil and/or criminal penalties. Purchase of American-made Equipment and Products It is the sense of the Congress, as conveyed through the fiscal year 1997 Appropriations Act, that to the greatest extent practicable, all equipment and products purchased with grant funds should be American-made. 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 Part 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, if the research is not covered by an exemption set forth in 28 CFR section 46.101(b)(1). The applicant must indicate whether the project or activity in its application includes research that may involve human subjects, as defined in 28 CFR Part 46. OJP Integrated Justice Information Systems Initiative OJP encourages the integration of information technology (IT) systems among all justice agencies and across federal, state, and local jurisdictions. IT systems include automated information systems used by each of the justice system components (law enforcement, courts, prosecution, defense, corrections, and probation and parole) in their internal day-to-day business and in communicating with each other. To support and coordinate systems integration, OJP asked governors to designate a state point of contact. OJP may require grantees who are using their awards for information systems to communicate with the IT point of contact in their states. The name and address of your State IT Point of Contact can be obtained through our customer service line at 1-800-421-6770 or website: http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov. Assurances This package includes a list of assurances that the applicant must comply with to receive federal funds. Applicants and grantees are responsible for fully understanding and complying with these requirements. Failure to comply may result in the withholding of funds, termination of the award, or other sanctions. Certifications Certification Regarding Lobbying; Debarment, Suspension, and Other Responsibility Matters; and Drug-Free Workplace Requirements Applicants must agree to comply with the following requirements: Lobbying: The applicant and its subgrantees, contractors, and subcontractors will not use federal funds for lobbying and will disclose any lobbying activities.

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 any project evaluation. There must be a clear link between the proposed activities and the proposed budget items. Due to limited funding, it is unlikely that OJP will make awards for new projects in excess of $400,000. Applicants should carefully consider the resources needed to successfully implement the project proposed and present a realistic budget that accurately reflects project costs. Applicants who are current grantees are eligible to apply for funds to supplement current project goals and objectives and to continue project activities through October 2002. 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. Any match contributions can be discussed in the project narrative, however, match contributions should not be included in the budget or budget narrative. Applicants are strongly encouraged to limit indirect cost rate to no more than 10 percent. Consultant rates in excess of $450 per day require prior approval by the Violence Against Women Office. All applicants must include a line item in their budgets allocating funds ($70,000 for proposals submitted by a consortium of institutions of higher education, and $35,000 for proposals submitted by individual institutions of higher education) 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. This amount should be included in the "travel" category. Applicants are also urged to include funds in their budgets to attend Financial Management Training Seminars sponsored by the Office of the Comptroller, OJP.
