Solicitation Companion Guide
OVW developed the Solicitation Companion Guide to assist potential grantees in applying for grants from OVW. The Guide offers general assistance on all OVW grant programs, including information on post-award requirements for applicants who receive awards. It is not a substitute for program-specific solicitations or for the applicable statutes, regulations, or policies that govern OVW's programs.
Applicants should read individual solicitations in their entirety and follow the instructions set forth in each solicitation. Visit the Open Solicitations page to learn which grant programs are currently accepting applications.
