Please Note:
- This information is being shared to highlight certain Out-Of-Scope Activities that are currently deemed unenforceable.
- Applicants do not need to submit a Certification Regarding Out-of-Scope Activities.
- Attention – Revised Certification Regarding Out-of-Scope Activities: Pursuant to a Federal District Court order, the requirement for applicants to submit a letter certifying that grant funds will not be used for the out-of-scope activities listed in the Certification Regarding Out-of-Scope Activities section of the notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is paused. Instead, the certification letter may state that the applicant certifies grant funds will not be used for the out-of-scope activities listed in the NOFO, except for those stayed by order of the court in Rhode Island Coalition Against Domestic Violence, et al., v. Pamela Bondi, et al. The stayed out-of-scope activities are listed as #2-5, #7-9, and #11 on pages 5-6 of the court’s opinion. These out-of-scope activities are not enforceable as to any OVW FY 2025 or FY 2026 awards unless and until the preliminary stay is lifted.
