Evaluating Promising Strategies to Build the Evidence Base for Sexual Violence Prevention
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention — Department of Health and Human Services
Deadline: March 19, 2014
Award Amount: $450,000
Description: The purpose of this announcement is to support research to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of primary prevention strategies for the perpetration of sexual violence. The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control’s research priorities for sexual violence prevention include evaluating the efficacy and effectiveness of programs, strategies, and policies across all levels of the social ecology to prevent and interrupt the development of sexual violence perpetration. In addition, the Center’s research priorities highlight the need to identify effective programs, strategies, and policies that might prevent multiple types of violence concurrently, including sexual violence, intimate partner violence, and other forms of violence, and evaluating the economic efficiency of such programs, strategies and policies. Research funded under this announcement will address these priorities by rigorously evaluating programs, strategies, or policies for their impact on rates of sexual violence perpetration in one of two areas: (a) strategies that engage boys and men, or (b) structural, environmental, and/or policy interventions. Although the primary focus of research conducted with these funds should be on reducing sexual violence perpetration, the inclusion of other violence-related outcomes (e.g., dating/intimate partner violence) is also encouraged.

FY 2014 U.S. Department of Justice Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation
Office of Justice Programs — Department of Justice
Deadline: Mar 24, 2014
Award Amount: (Cost Sharing or Matching Requirement): Yes. Award Ceiling: $93,500,000, see full announcement
Description: In 2009, based on a series of meetings across the country addressing violent crime in Tribal communities, the DOJ made the decision to decrease the number of applications Tribes and Tribal consortia were required to submit to receive grant funds from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). In 2010, DOJ launched its first-ever Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS) combining DOJ’s existing Tribal government-specific competitive solicitations into one, and thus requiring only one application from each Tribe or Tribal consortium. This approach provides federally-recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia the opportunity to develop a comprehensive approach to public safety and victimization issues. Over the past four years, through numerous meetings, Tribal written comments, face-to-face Tribal consultation, focus groups, and listening sessions, with the latest having occurred in FY 2013 at the Tribal Justice, Safety and Wellness Session held in October 2012 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the DOJ continues to further refine CTAS. Additionally, DOJ circulated an assessment tool to Tribes each year in order to gather feedback about their experiences applying for CTAS. The DOJ incorporated feedback from the Tribal meetings, consultations, and the assessment tool and made the following changes to this FY 2014 CTAS: • The question-and-answer templates have been coordinated and refined across Purpose Areas to ensure more uniformity and cohesiveness and to reduce duplication. • The strategic planning program has been expanded and also provides an opportunity for successful grantees who submit an approved strategic plan to have an opportunity to request funding in future years to implement the strategic plan. • The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) Tribal Sexual Assault Services Program will continue to be administered separate from CTAS.1 • Due to limited funding, DOJ will not be making awards under Purpose Area #4 for new construction projects for justice system facilities in FY 2014. Awards will be focused on renovation. • The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) will not award any planning grants under Purpose Area #4. Applicants interested in justice system planning efforts are encouraged to apply under Purpose Area #2. • Applicable Purpose Areas have been updated to allow activities related to Tribal jurisdiction over non-Indian perpetrators of domestic violence on Tribal lands, as authorized through the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013. • The Budget Detail Worksheet for Purpose Area #1, which is administered by the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office), has been redesigned. In FY 2013, 237 Tribes (individually or as part of a consortium) submitted applications, resulting in the DOJ funding nearly 200 grant awards. The awards covered nine Purpose Areas, totaling over $90 million. As in the previous four fiscal years, this FY 2014 solicitation refers to DOJ’s Tribal government-specific competitive grant programs as “Purpose Areas.” Applicants may select the Purpose Area(s) that best address Tribes’ concerns related to public safety, criminal and juvenile justice, and

the needs of victims/survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, and other forms of violence. In response to a single Tribal or Tribal consortium application requesting funds from multiple Purpose Areas, multiple awards may be made. Purpose Areas may be funded and administered by different DOJ program offices (see Part C “Purpose Areas—Snapshot,” which identifies the DOJ program office that manages each Purpose Area). DOJ anticipates that grants will be managed by the awarding DOJ program office. In some cases, funding streams from different DOJ components may be combined into a single Purpose Area for the purposes of the application. In the event that a Tribe or Tribal consortium receives two separate awards under that Purpose Area, those grant funds must be maintained separately and all required reports for each awarded grant must be filed with the applicable DOJ component. Changes to DOJ grant programs enacted with the passage of the Tribal Law and Order Act (TLOA) continue to be incorporated into this solicitation. For more information regarding TLOA, visit www.justice.gov/tribal. In addition to the CTAS coordinated approach for funding for FY 2014, federally-recognized Tribes and Tribal consortia may be eligible for and are encouraged to submit separate applications to any non-Tribal government-specific DOJ grant programs for which they may be eligible. For information on additional funding sources, go to www.grants.gov and the web sites of individual federal agencies. The DOJ components offering Tribal government-specific grant resources through the nine Purpose Areas identified in this Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation are listed below. For more information on each component, see www.justice.gov/tribal. • Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) • Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) • Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) • Office of Justice Programs, Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) • Office of Justice Programs, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP)

Rural Health Network Development Planning Program - 93.912
Deadline: Jan 16, 2014
Award Amount: $1,275,000/ 15 awards
Description: This announcement solicits applications for the Rural Health Network Development Planning Grant Program (Network Planning). The purpose of the Network Planning program is to assist in the development of an integrated healthcare network, if the network participants do not have a history of collaborative efforts. The program can help to promote the planning and development of healthcare networks in order to: (i) achieve efficiencies; (ii) expand access to, coordinate, and improve the quality of essential health care services; and (iii) strengthen the rural health care system as a whole. This program brings together key parts of a rural health care delivery system, particularly those entities that may not have collaborated in the past under a formal relationship, to work together to establish and improve local capacity and coordination of care. This grant program supports one year of planning with the primary goal in helping networks create a foundation for their infrastructure and focusing member efforts to address important regional or local community health needs. For purposes of this grant program, a rural health network is defined as an organizational arrangement among at least three separately owned regional or local health care providers that come together to develop strategies for improving health services delivery systems in a community.
For example a critical access hospital, a community health center and a public health department could come together to form a network around a shared purpose. Networks can include a wide range of community partners including social service agencies, faith-based organizations, mental health agencies, charitable organizations, educational institutions, employers, local government agencies or other entities with an interest in a community’s health care system. In applying for this funding, the applicant needs to explain how their proposal incorporates elements of health care redesign, with a focus on transforming the health care delivery into a patient and value-driven system.
This includes but is not limited to supporting the current healthcare landscape to improve outcomes, reduce costs, ensure access and efficient transitions of care and promote innovative approaches. Successful applicants can use their one-year grant

will be notified no later than May 2, 2014, contingent on timely full year appropriations.
Award Amount: Cost per MSY stands for Cost per Member Service Year and represents the cost to CNCS of your AmeriCorps program. One MSY is the equivalent of one full-time term of service (1700 member service hours). The cost per MSY is calculated by dividing the total amount of CNCS funds requested by the total number of MSYs requested. For example, if the application requests $10,000 in CNCS funds and 10 MSYs, then the cost per MSY is $1,000. The cost per MSY does not include child care or the cost of the Segal Education Award a member may earn. Cost per MSY is not applicable for planning grants.
Description: In the FY 2014 AmeriCorps competition, CNCS seeks to prioritize the investment of national service resources in economic opportunity, education, veterans and military families, disaster services, and the Governor and Mayor Initiative. CNCS will continue to focus on national service programs that improve academic outcomes for children, youth, and young adults. This focus reflects the extensive experience and past success of national service programs in education, and aligns with the efforts of the Department of Education. In addition, CNCS seeks to increase its investment in programs that serve veterans and military families or engage veterans and military families in service. CNCS will also focus investment in programs that increase community resiliency through disaster preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation. CNCS will focus investment in programs that increase economic opportunities for communities and AmeriCorps members.
Finally, CNCS will focus on summer programming for K-12 students, especially those programs that address the academic “summer slide.” Proposed activities will engage youth and young adults as summer members to help support summer reading, math, science, and environmental learning activities for youth in rural and urban areas most likely at risk of summer learning loss.

Description: In 2003, EPA’s Oice of Environmental Justice (OEJ) launched the first solicitation for the Environmental Justice Collaborative Problem-Solving (EJCPS) Cooperative Agreement Program. Since the Program’s inception, EPA has funded 38 projects to help communities understand and address exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks. The EJCPS Program provides up to $120,000 in financial assistance over a two-year period to enable community-based organizations to partner with stakeholders from across industry, government, academia to develop and implement solutions that will significantly address environmental and/or public health issues at the local level. Projects must use the CPS Model, comprised of seven elements of a successful collaborative partnership, to address local environmental and/or public health issues. Because EPA requires substantial involvement and interaction between the applicant, EPA regions and OEJ, these awards will be made in the form of cooperative agreements.

Community Development Financial Institutions Funds
“Treasury Announces $12.4 Million in Assistance to Native Communities”
2013 NACA Program Awardees Will Stimulate Economic Development in Low-Income Areas
Washington, DC – Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities (Native Communities) throughout the United States will receive much-needed economic and community development assistance as a result of the $12.4 million in Native American CDFI Assistance Program (NACA Program) awards announced today.
Thirty-five organizations serving Native Communities received awards from the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Community Development Financial Institutions Fund (CDFI Fund) under the fiscal year (FY) 2013 round of the NACA Program. The awardees all aim to increase lending and financial services in Native Communities, stimulating economic development in some of the most distressed and low-income parts of the country.
“The Native American CDFI Assistance Program is providing critically needed funds for distressed Native and tribal areas, many of which lack traditional banking services,” said Don Graves, Treasury Deputy Assistant Secretary for Small Business, Community Development and Housing Policy. “This latest round of awards will expand the capacity of native financial institutions to develop innovative economic development solutions for the businesses and individuals in their communities.”
The awardees, all certified Native Community Development Financial Institutions (Native CDFIs) or organizations looking to become or create Native CDFIs, will receive a collective total of $12,451,015 in Financial Assistance and Technical Assistance awards. Eighteen Native CDFIs will receive Financial Assistance awards, which are primarily used for financing capital. Seventeen organizations will receive Technical Assistance grants, which are usually used to acquire products or services, staff training, professional services, or other support.
“The FY 2013 NACA Program awards will lead to increased loans for small businesses, affordable housing, and community facilities in Native Communities, in addition to basic financial services that are essential to building household wealth and stability,” said CDFI Fund Director Donna J. Gambrell. “As the award-making arm of the CDFI Fund’s Native Initiatives, the NACA Program has consistently supported the unique organizations that are doing such vital work in these communities.”
The majority of the target markets served by the awardees are rural, although seven organizations primarily serve minor urban areas. The organizations are headquartered in fifteen different states across the country. Full information about the FY 2013 NACA Program awardees can be found in the CDFI Fund’s Searchable Award Database at www.cdfifund.gov/awards.

The FY 2013 NACA Program Awards announcement comes at a time when the CDFI Fund’s Native Initiatives is in the middle of studying the current availability of access to capital and credit in Native Communities. The “Access to Capital and Credit in Native Communities” study will draw on focus groups, tribal consultations, and independent research to establish the current reality of capital and credit availability in Native areas. The results of the study will be used to inform the CDFI Fund’s future approach to the training, technical assistance, and awards that it provides through the Native Initiatives.
Learn more about the “Access to Capital and Credit in Native Communities” study at www.cdfifund.gov/nativestudy. Additional information about the FY 2013 round of the NACA Program, including key highlights and the full award list, can be found below and at www.cdfifund.gov/native.

About the CDFI Fund
Since its creation in 1994, the CDFI Fund has awarded over $1.7 billion to CDFIs, community development organizations, and financial institutions through the CDFI Program, the Bank Enterprise Awards Program, the Capital Magnet Fund, the Financial Education and Counseling Pilot Program, and the Native American CDFI Assistance Program. In addition, the CDFI Fund has allocated $36.5 billion in tax credit authority to Community Development Entities through the New Markets Tax Credit Program. Learn more about the CDFI Fund and its programs at www.cdfifund.gov.
About the Native Initiatives
The CDFI Fund's Native Initiatives work to increase access to credit, capital, and financial services in communities by creating and expanding CDFIs primarily serving Native Communities. This is achieved through two principle initiatives: 1) a funding program – the NACA Program – targeted to increasing the number and capacity of existing or new Native CDFIs, and 2) a complementary series of training programs that seek to foster the development of new Native CDFIs, strengthen the operational capacity of existing Native CDFIs, and guide Native CDFIs in the creation of important financial education and asset building programs for their communities.

OREGON & SW WASHINGTON ONLY
NORTHWEST HEALTH FOUNDATION
NWHF Launches Online Sponsorship Applications
By: Fannie Black | Posted on: September 30th, 2013
Categories: Public Health
NWHF may be headquartered in Portland, but we serve the entire state of Oregon and SW Washington. We are continually looking for new ways to establish partnerships beyond the Portland-metro area, especially to rural communities. As the grant administrator for NWHF, I’m always looking for ways to help foster those partnerships by making the funding process efficient and reaching a broader audience.
One area we recently identified as needing a more formalized process was our sponsorships. Many organizations were unaware that sponsorships were available through the Foundation and even fewer were aware of the process to obtain one. We have been working to make our sponsorship funding more accessible, and as a result we launched our online application and sponsorship policy a few weeks ago (http://nwhf.org/sponsorships). We are thrilled with the level of interest from organizations across Oregon and SW Washington and have received inquiries from Astoria to La Grande, Oregon, and Longview, Washington, to Grants Pass, Oregon.
The sponsorship program also provides us the opportunity to form partnerships with organizations who may not necessarily qualify for grant opportunities. There are a lot of organizations doing great work promoting health or contributing to the determinants of health and we want to work with you to increase your visibility. Please review our full policy to determine eligibility, and if you have questions about sponsorships please feel free to contact me at fannie@nwhf.org or (503) 505-5702.
