Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

The program supports community-based efforts to develop or expand prevention, intervention, treatment, and response strategies for children and youth ages 0–24 affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and sex trafficking. It also supports work with men and youth to prevent those crimes.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The project directly serves children or youth ages 0–24 affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or sex trafficking. The project develops or expands a prevention, intervention, treatment, or response strategy addressing the crimes named by the program. The project engages men and/or youth in preventing domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, or sex trafficking. The applicant clearly fits an identified eligible category, such as a nonprofit, victim service provider, independent school district, local government or agency, tribal entity, or faith-based organization. The proposed funding request is consistent with the supplied $350,000 award floor and $500,000 award ceiling; the supplied funding facts report that cost share is not required.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The supplied evidence provides no formal review criteria or scoring weights. The most supportable inferred considerations are whether the project advances the stated program purpose, uses a community-based approach, targets the stated affected population and/or prevention population, and is submitted by an eligible entity. These are fit and eligibility considerations, not confirmed evaluation criteria.
