Notices of Funding Opportunity Release Plan
FY 2025 Notices of Funding Opportunity Release Plan
The chart below reflects the Office on Violence Against Women’s (OVW) anticipated FY 2025 Notices of Opportunity Release Plan, which is subject to change. This plan is based on the appropriations received by in FY 2024.
Please note: in order to make timely funding decisions, OVW may release notices pending enactment of a full-year FY 2025 appropriation. Once an FY 2025 appropriation has been enacted, a program’s funding opportunity may be cancelled if the program does not receive an appropriation.
Applicants should review each program’s notice for detailed information regarding eligibility and application requirements. If a program’s FY 2025 notice has not yet been published, potential applicants can review the program’s FY 2024 funding opportunity on the OVW Closed Notices of Funding Opportunities page to get a basic understanding of the program’s purpose and requirements. However, please note that requirements can change from year to year, and closed notices should not be used as templates when developing FY 2025 proposals. For general information about requirements across OVW’s grant programs, please review the OVW 2025 Application Companion Guide, and the General Terms and Conditions for OVW awards. Once an FY 2025 notice has been released, it can be found on Grants.gov or on the OVW Open Notices of Funding Opportunities page.
