SUMMARY:
The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is proposing a new data collection activity for the Formative Evaluation of the Demonstration Grants to Strengthen the Response to Victims of Human Trafficking in Native Communities (VHT-NC) Program. The overarching goals of the formative evaluation are to understand the context in which the VHT-NC projects are implemented, the projects' goals, and the paths they take to achieve their goals. The proposed data collection will include semi-structured interviews with project staff, key partners, and project participants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Description: In 2020, ACF's Office on Trafficking in Persons issued six VHT-NC demonstration grants to fund projects to build, expand, and sustain organizational and community capacity to deliver services to Native Americans ( i.e., American Indians, Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and/or Pacific Islanders) who have experienced human trafficking through the provision of direct services, assistance, and referrals. The purpose of the proposed data collection is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the VHT-NC projects and their communities, including implementation strengths and challenges. A primary aim is to conduct a participatory and culturally responsive formative evaluation that is informed by and respects the knowledge, values, and traditions of the communities implementing the VHT-NC projects.

Respondents: Respondents include VHT-NC project staff ( e.g., project directors, project coordinators, case managers/advocates, specialized services staff), key project partner staff, and project participants (adults who have received assistance from the VHT-NC project).
