FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about the DV RISC Technical Assistance Portal.

Anyone is eligible for technical assistance support. You do not need to be funded by the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) or any other federal agency in order to receive support.

You can expect to be contacted by a member of the DV RISC project team as soon as possible. If several days have passed and you have not received any communication, you can send an email to dvrisc@innovatingjustice.org

Receiving support through our technical assistance portal and from our project team is completely free. However, depending on your needs, we may recommend a training by an external agency and there may be associated costs. But we will discuss this with you, first.

Please refer to our Privacy Notice on how we will handle your information.

OVW- the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women funds and oversees this project, but they are not involved in the daily operations of the DV RISC website or technical assistance portal.
