provide assistance to grantees and their subgrantees to enhance the
success of local projects they are implementing with VAWA grant funds.
In addition, OVW is focused on building the capacity of criminal
justice and victim services organizations to respond effectively to
sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking and to
foster partnerships between organizations that have not traditionally
worked together to address violence against women, such as faith-and
community-based organizations.
6. An estimate of the total public burden (in hours) associated
with the collection:The total annual hour burden to complete the semi-
annual progress report form is 106 hours. It will take approximately
one hour for the grantees to complete the form twice a year.
7. An estimate of the total annual cost burden associated with the
collection, if applicable:The annualized costs to the Federal
Government resulting from the OVW staff review of the progress reports
submitted by grantees are estimated to be $6,144.89.
