Beginning in FY 2006, OVC’s competitive grant applications will be processed through Grants.gov—an e-government initiative designed to provide federal customers with a unified process to finding and applying for federal grants. Read more about this important change.
Exceptions: Existing or continuing discretionary grantees will continue to use OJP's Grants Management System (GMS) to apply for continuation funding. Additionally, formula grants will continue to be processed through GMS.
