The Family Violence Prevention and Services Act (FVPSA) Discretionary Grant Program seeks applications to enhance and expand the capacity of FVPSA formula grant recipients – state FVPSA administrators, tribal FVPSA recipients, and state/territory domestic violence coalitions. For this grant program, one awardee will be expected to provide 1) topic-specific training and technical assistance at a national level and 2) intensive training and technical assistance at the tribal, state, or territory level. The national training and technical assistance topics, and the identified formula grant recipients of the intensive technical assistance, will be identified through: formula grant recipient needs assessments; program monitoring by FVPSA staff; and the selected awardee's internal processes for identifying needed topics and selecting formula grant recipients. The training and technical assistance will focus on programmatic and administrative functions to build the capacity of FVPSA formula grant recipients, such as dissemination of FVPSA regulations and guidance, understanding roles and responsibilities of programmatic monitoring of local programs, incorporation of best practices, building the management capacity of organizations, and building partnerships within the state or territory which includes culturally-specific organizations and tribes. The awardee will also actively work to connect FVPSA formula grant recipients with appropriate technical assistance and resources of best practices from FVPSA-funded resource and capacity building centers. The awardee will participate in ongoing coordination and collaboration with the FVPSA-funded resource centers, collectively known as the Domestic Violence Resource Network (DVRN).

The purpose of the SDAR program is to support research that analyzes existing national data sets and/or administrative records to answer questions that can improve the health and well-being of MCH populations, including children and teenagers with autism spectrum disorders and other developmental disabilities (ASD/DD). The SDAR program helps researchers use existing data sets to identify new issues, study new research questions, test hypotheses, and determine pathways for intervention. Existing and new public health challenges affecting MCH populations, including children with special health care needs (MCH SDAR) and children and adolescents with ASD/DD (Autism SDAR), require timely, evidence-based responses from programs, policy, and practice. Without sufficient evidence or data, it is hard to develop interventions addressing both existing and new issues. SDAR research projects should help address any of the following HRSA’s Strategic Plan Objectives: • 1.4 Incorporate health equity concepts and measures into programs and policies; • 2.3 Improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness of health services for underserved populations and those in need; and • 2.4 Enhance maternal and child health efforts and reduce disparities in morbidity, mortality, and health outcomes.
