Streets Act of 1968, Sections 201-03, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 3721-23

Background

    This solicitation is based on the Congressional reporting 
requirements of the Higher Education Amendments of 1998 for an 
evaluation of the effectiveness of the Grants to Combat Violent Crimes 
Against Women on Campuses Program (VAW Campus Program). The National 
Institute of Justice (NIJ), in collaboration with the Office of Justice 
Programs' Violence Against Women Office (VAWO), is soliciting proposals 
for this national evaluation. The evaluation should examine impact 
issues regarding those institutions of higher education that are VAW 
Campus Program grantees; implementing comprehensive, coordinated 
responses to violence against women, including sexual assault, domestic 
violence, and stalking. One grant of up to $850,000 will be awarded. 
The duration of the evaluation is up to 36 months, with summary reports 
required for each component of the evaluation--baseline data, process, 
and impact.
    Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice 
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of 
``National Evaluation of Grants to Combat Violent Crimes Against Women 
on Campus'' (refer to document no. SL000422). For World Wide Web
