(SOT) grant recipients and the clients they serve. This data collection
will allow ORR to learn more about the populations served; the types
and effectiveness of services provided; methods, challenges, and
facilitators of implementing services; and grant recipients' progress
towards programmatic goals. ORR will collect these data on the new
cohort of Services for SOT grant recipients; ORR collected information
from the previous grantee cohort under the Generic Performance Progress
Report (OMB #0970-0490). ORR has made changes to the data collection
instruments for use in the new cohort.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: ORR proposes to use the Program Data Points Form
(PDPs) and Performance Progress Reports (PPRs) to collect data on the
Services for SOT grant recipients and their clients. In 2019, ORR began
requiring the Services for SOT grant recipients to collect and report
their PDPs through the ORR Refugee Arrivals Data System (RADS), an
information technology platform used for enhanced data collection and
record keeping. The new cohort of Services for SOT grant recipients,
who will receive 5-year awards in September 2022, will also provide
these data points to ORR using RADS. Grant recipients will provide
aggregated data on new and continuing clients annually, including
demographic information, characteristics related to experiences of
torture, services received, and well-being across six outcome domains.
Grant recipients will also provide information about community
attendance at trainings and pro-bono services donated to the program.
In the PPRs, grant recipients will provide primarily narrative
information on grant-funded activities and progress towards grant goals
biannually.
Information collected will be used in aggregate by ORR to provide
reports to stakeholders, including a required report to Congress, and
responses to funding requests.
Respondents: Services for SOT grant programs (this may include non-
profit social service, health, and higher education organizations,
states, municipalities, and for-profit organizations).
