of victim service providers and law enforcement.

Funding under Purpose Area #1 will also support researcher/practitioner partnerships at each site to conduct program evaluation and identify evidence- based practices that can be used at the local level.
Under Purpose Area #2 of this solicitation, OVC will make one award up to $ 1. 5 million to one technical assistance provider who will identify TA needs of direct service sites, convene grantee meetings and compile a compendium of promising practices suitable for publication and dissemination to the field.
