FY 2025 Notice of Funding Opportunity Announcement NOW OPEN: OVW FY 2025 Demonstration Program on Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered Training for Law Enforcement on Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking (Abby Honold) Program (NOFO) The Abby Honold Program is now accepting applications. The Abby Honold Program supports efforts to improve law enforcement's response to allegations of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from the time of a victim's initial report throughout the entire investigation, and to promote the efforts of law enforcement in improving the response to these crimes.
