The Office for Victims of
Crime (OVC) is pleased to inform you that we are now accepting
applications under the “Victim Assistance Professional Development
Fellowship Program.”
This is
a new opportunity to expand the capacity of individuals in the victim
assistance field through the Fellowship Program. As many as four people
can become part of OVC’s team in Washington, D.C., and work in the areas
of victim assistance and compensation, tribal communities, underserved
crime victims, and evidence-based training and technical assistance.
Applications
must be submitted by July 9, 2009, through OJP’s online Grants Management
System at https://grants.ojp.usdoj.gov.
Applicants are encouraged to begin the process in advance of the
deadline.
This
competitive program will award $80,000 - $125,000 each, for up to four
fellowships, to provide direct operational assistance to crime victim organizations
and agencies; design and develop innovative initiatives; implement a
training strategy; and assist with evaluation and capacity building
efforts. OVC fellows will also be responsible for crafting articles and
speeches on specific topics covered in their fellowship category area.
The fellowships are for a 12-month period, with options for 2 more years.
