Abstract: The STOP Violence Against Women Formula Grants Program
was authorized through the Violence Against Women Act of 1994 (VAWA),
34 U.S.C. 10446 amended and reauthorized in 2000, 2005, 2013 and 2022.
The STOP (Services, Training, Officers, and Prosecutors) Violence
Against Women Formula Grant Program funding is awarded to States and
territories. It enhances the capacity of local communities to develop
and strengthen effective law enforcement and prosecution strategies to
combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking
and to develop and strengthen comprehensive, holistic victim services.
The grant funds must be distributed by STOP State administrators to
subgrantees according to a statutory formula. The annual progress
reporting form is necessary for the Attorney General and STOP Formula
Grant Program grantees and subgrantees to comply with Federal statutory
reporting requirements. The information will be used for reports to
Congress on the use of appropriated funds in support of the STOP
Formula Grant Program. There are two sets of respondents- the STOP
State administrators who allocate the STOP funds and the subgrantees
who may include law enforcement agencies, prosecutors, officers,
courts, and victim services organizations.
