The overall goal of the SAKI National TTA Program is to build state and local capacities to address violent crime associated with unsubmitted SAKs by supporting the needs of SAKI sites and, as resources allow, other jurisdictions engaged in community-based sexual assault reform. The purpose of this announcement is to select one national TTA provider to deliver a wide range of TTA services to SAKI site-based grantees and to translate lessons to the field. Given the complexity and diversity of the tasks, applicants are strongly urged to partner with other relevant providers in developing the application. The TTA services should include, but are not limited to, training and educational sessions developed and conducted by relevant subject experts; technical assistance on SAK-related issues, including inventorying, testing, and tracking SAKs; onsite and remote assistance, including training related to investigation and prosecution of cases using the evidence in these SAKs; creation and reporting of performance metrics; TTA related to the collection of lawfully owed DNA; and supporting the SAKI sites to engage in multidisciplinary coordination, investigation, prosecution, and victim advocacy, engagement, and support in connection with evidence and cases resulting from the testing process. This grant announcement does not solicit applications from individual jurisdictions to fund local SAKI projects.
