• Coordinate all projects and activities with the National Indian Resource Center Addressing Domestic Violence and Safety for Indian Women, including projects and activities that involve working with nontribal state and local governments to enhance their capacity to understand the unique needs of native populations, including AN
• Provide comprehensive community education and domestic violence prevention initiatives in a culturally sensitive and relevant manner

Eligible applicants must be either:

• Located in a state in which the population of American Indians (including Alaska Natives) exceeds 10% of the total population of the state
