DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 2 o A pattern of late or incomplete reporting may result in pending requests being put on hold. Planning Planning is an integral part of the development of any training or conference and must take place prior to the submission of a conference request form. Planning should be done in collaboration with your OVW Program Specialist. By the time your OVW Program Specialist receives the conference request form, they should have been involved in the planning of the event, including but not limited to: developing the draft agenda, identifying possible locations and dates, determining the number of estimated participants, and selecting potential faculty. Actively involving your OVW Program Specialist in the planning of the event can reduce or eliminate questions from the reviewers of the conference request form. Furthermore, our involvement in developing training and technical assistance is one of OVW’s primary responsibilities under the terms of your cooperative agreement/contract. Your facilitation of OVW’s involvement is one of your primary responsibilities. Receipt of the conference request form should not be the first time your OVW Program Specialist becomes aware of the event. Timing of Approval or Disapproval There are many contributing factors to the length of the review process: including a) the completeness, accuracy, and clarity of the form; b) the extent to which the request is within all thresholds; c) relationship between the request and the activities envisioned in the TA cooperative agreement; d) the time of the year the form is submitted to OVW; e) the appropriateness of the agenda; and f) the sufficiency of justifications.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 Note: Estimates on the number of attendees should be calculate based on historical data, current grantee interest, and other empirical factors that might drive attendance up or down (e.g. cuts in state budgets). While we recognize that these are estimates, award recipients who consistently over- estimate the number of attendees may be required to provide additional justification/documentation on future requests. Recipients are encouraged to under- estimate to avoid exceeding the caps and potentially needing to cover excess costs with non- OVW funds. 20 Number of DOJ Federal Input the number of Attendees anticipated attendees who are Department of Justice (DOJ) employees.

Meals provided by DOJ do not include M&IE reimbursement or meals that will be covered through matching funds, funds provided to the grantee through an award from another federal agency, or meals covered by program income (such as a registration fee). There are very few circumstances that qualify for such approval. 5 Refreshments Provided by DOJ Input estimated direct and indirect costs for refreshments. Refreshments are generally prohibited. However, in those rare circumstances in which refreshments are necessary, additional DOJ (DAG) approval is required. Such approval requires additional processing time.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 11 6 Meals & Incidental Expenses (M&IE) for Attendees Input estimated direct and indirect costs for M&IE for all attendees whose “M&IE” expenses will be reimbursed by the host’s cooperative agreement/contract. If meals are provided, the M&IE reimbursed should be deducted accordingly (i.e. if 1 day conference in a certain location amounts to $69 per day for M&IE but a lunch is being provided, the M&IE reimbursement must be reduced by $17, down to $52). *Travel days are based on 75% of the GSA M&IE rate, regardless of the number of hours it takes to travel. Note: Local Staff Travel requests: DOJ policy does not permit M&IE reimbursement for local staff whose TDY/office is within 50 miles of the event facility. DOJ policy does permit lodging reimbursement with justification. Lodging reimbursement justification in this circumstance must be submitted prior to the event to OVW for waiver consideration. If a waiver is granted, the waiver applies for lodging costs only and only for those employees identified in the waiver request. It does not apply to M&IE expenses. It is the award recipients’ responsibility to provide the justification at the time of the request.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 12 7 Lodging Input estimated direct and indirect costs for lodging including taxes for all attendees whose lodging expenses will be reimbursed by the host’s cooperative agreement/contract.

Note: Local travel is defined as within 50 miles of the TDY/Office and the event facility. 10 Conference Planner - Logistical Input estimated direct and indirect costs for logistical conference planners. Note: Logistical conference planners perform the logistical planning necessary to hold a conference, which may include: recommending venues, advertising, setting the stage and audio- visual (A/V) equipment, securing hotel rooms, interacting with caterers, and other non- programmatic functions. These can be determined by hourly rates including fringe benefits or actual set contracts. These costs must be estimated and tracked regardless of whether the logistical planning is conducted by internal staff or an external planner. If another OVW cooperative agreement/contract will provide this service, those estimated costs must still be entered here and noted on Sheet A. Executive Management’s time on logistical planning should be limited to ensure cost effectiveness.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 14 11 Conference Planner - Programmatic Input estimated direct and indirect costs for programmatic conference planners.

Programmatic planning is the primary purpose of most OVW training and technical assistance cooperative agreements that include holding “conferences.” Note: Programmatic planning costs may be quite small, but it is very unlikely that these costs would ever be zero. Costs can be determined by hourly rates including fringe benefits or actual set contracts. Please contact OVW if you need additional guidance on what to include when calculating these costs.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 15 12 Conference Trainer/Instructor/Presenter/Facilitator Input estimated costs for trainers, instructors, presenters, facilitators, or anyone who will be considered “faculty” at the conference. This includes TA provider staff serving as faculty. Do not include travel, lodging, and M&IE expenses in this category. Those should be reflected in the previous general categories for travel, lodging, and M&IE. You should include compensation for travel on prep days if being processed. OVW encourages the use of a lower consultant rate for travel days, and the number of travel days should be based on the distance between the traveler’s home office and the event. 13 Other Costs (Itemize Below) Input estimated direct and indirect costs for other factors that contribute directly to the total cost of the conference, such as interpreters and other accessibility supports. 14 Total Conference Cost Leave blank as this section will auto- populate.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 21 Partnering with other Organizations or other TA Providers If partnering with one or more organizations, each organization must submit a Conference Request form and Report if applicable. Please note: • OVW will combine the requests/reports to create a consolidated version and distribute electronically a copy of the combined request to all hosts. • Conference Requests/Reports must still keep costs within the thresholds for meeting space, AV, logistical and programmatic planning. Sheet B – Conference Trainer/Instructor/Presenter/Facilitator Information This section should include detailed information about the Trainer/Instructor/Presenter/Facilitator. Please note: • The top section is for internal and external trainers, include the name if known, the role, purpose of the daily rate (please use the drop-down to specify a training, travel, or preparation day), daily rate, number of days, and expertise. In addition, please use the drop-down to answer if the staff/consultant has been approved by OVW for the cooperative agreement hosting the conference. • The bottom of the sheet should be completed to include information on any Cooperative Agreement or DOJ staff involved with the conference training/presentation. Sponsored versus supported Conferences With the passage of VAWA 2013, OVW is further required to review and approve “supported” conferences as well as “sponsored” conferences. This requirement is specific to VAWA funds. Events held under an OVW cooperative agreement or contract are typically “sponsored” conferences. These are events for which one might say “but for the cooperative agreement or contract the event would not take place.” Some of you also hold “supported” events. These are conferences for which VAWA funds are covering less than 50% of the overall conference costs and for which OVW is not the single largest supporter. If you are holding an OVW “supported” conference and OVW’s contribution to the conference will exceed $19,999, you must submit a conference request form. This cost calculation should include the cost of your staff’s time if that time will be charged to the OVW cooperative agreement or contract. A conference request form for a “supported” conference does not need to include costs other than those costs being covered by OVW funds. We strongly suggest that all those holding supported conferences, complete the conference form to determine if the OVW costs fall below $20,000 and if they do, retain a copy of the form with their grant records.
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE- SPONSORED CONFERENCE REQUEST AND REPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND STEP DESCRIPTIONS 10-01-2018 22 Please Note: • A change in the purpose, event title, or any other substantial change that causes the cost to increase by 10% or more or causes the event to exceed one or more thresholds or $100,000 overall, must be re-submitted for approval prior to the event, and the full review process will start from the beginning. • A change in the date of the event requires the approval of your OVW program specialist and OVW conference administrator. A revised conference request form must be submitted. This should take no longer than one week so long as the length of the event has not changed. • A change in the event's length, location, number of faculty, or number of estimated attendees requires approval of the OVW program specialist, conference administrator, and conference supervisor. A revised conference request form must be submitted. This should take no longer than one week.
