SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: The SOAR Demonstration Grant Program was developed in
response to the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000 (Pub.
L. 106-386), section 106(b), as amended (22 U.S.C. 7104(b)(1)) and 22
U.S.C. 7105(b)(1)(B), which calls on agencies to ``increase public
awareness of the dangers of trafficking and the protections that are
available for victims of trafficking'' and provide ``services to assist
potential victims of severe forms of trafficking in persons.'' The
program's goal is to fund the implementation of SOAR trainings and
capacity building efforts to identify, treat, and respond to patients
or clients who have experienced severe forms of human trafficking as
defined by the TVPA of 2000, as amended, among their patient or client
population. SOAR is a nationally recognized, accredited training
program delivered by OTIP's National Human Trafficking Training and
Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC) and designed to help target
audiences identify and respond to those who are at risk of, are
currently
[[Page 52387]]
experiencing, or have experienced trafficking and connect them with
needed resources.
OTIP proposes to collect information to measure grant project
performance, provide technical assistance to grant recipients, assess
program outcomes, inform program evaluation, respond to congressional
inquiries and mandated reports, and inform policy and program
development that is responsive to the needs of victims.
The information collection will capture information on
organizations enrolled in each grant recipient's multidisciplinary
network of providers serving individuals who have experienced, or are
at-risk of experiencing, a severe form of trafficking in persons, and
clients served. Data elements are designed to capture information about
organizational providers (e.g., number of individuals trained to
identify and respond to trafficking, types and number of trainings
offered, types of services provided, number of clients enrolled in
services, organizational barriers to service delivery and
implementation, and total funds spent by category of assistance) and
client demographics (e.g., total number of clients enrolled in services
by providers within the recipient's multidisciplinary network by client
age, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, race/ethnicity, and
language spoken).
Respondents: Healthcare, behavioral health, and social service
delivery professionals.
Annual Burden Estimates
Recipients will be awarded funding for a 5-year period. This
request is for the first 3 years of data collection. We will request an
extension to continue data collection beyond 3 years.
