Background

NIJ is soliciting proposals for an impact evaluation of victim programs and services funded under the S.T.O.P. Violence Against Women Formula Grants Program, administered by the Office of Justice Programs, Violence Against Women Office (VAWO). Specifically, the evaluation should address impact issues regarding nonprofit, nongovernmental victim service programs funded through the S.T.O.P. Program. The two main objectives of the S.T.O.P. Victim Service Programs Impact Evaluation are to provide a process and impact evaluation of the FY95 to FY98 nonprofit, nongovernmental victim service programs; and to inform policy and practice in order to enhance victim service programs and models of service delivery. One grant of up to $800,000 will be awarded in Fiscal Year 1999. The duration of the impact evaluation is up to 36 months with reports of evaluation results to be submitted annually. Applicants should include with their proposal a statement on the additional work that would be completed, the time period for completion of this work, and the funds requested, if the project were to be extended beyond 36 months and additional financial support provided.
