With this solicitation, OVC seeks to provide training and technical assistance support to develop and expand multidisciplinary, collaborative model task forces to combat human trafficking.
Goal
The ECM TTA program goal is to provide coordinated and comprehensive national training and technical assistance that is both foundational and critical to improving the capacity of state, local, and Tribal jurisdictions to develop, grow, and sustain a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach to increase identification of victims of all forms of human trafficking, connect them with services, and seek justice on their behalf (which can include investigating and prosecuting traffickers at the local, state, Tribal, and federal levels).
Objectives
All objectives should include how the project will respond to both sex and labor trafficking:
- Define, refine, and document a set of core elements of the ECM task force model (both a statewide structure and a local/Tribal structure) that improves a jurisdiction’s (local, state, or Tribal) ability to effectively address human trafficking using a multidisciplinary approach.
- Provide comprehensive, ongoing TTA (both remotely and onsite) to define and strengthen the ECM task force model approach and build the capacity of existing and future site-based human trafficking task force grantees based on their specific needs throughout the duration of their federal funding.
- Provide a range of relevant subject matter expertise on various emerging issues that impact ECM task force development, growth, and sustainability; investigative techniques; and best practices for both OJP grantees and nongrantees (in consultation with OVC).
- Disseminate materials describing promising and evidence-informed practices, organize and convene meetings and forums (as required by OJP), and evaluate and report findings from these events for the benefit of the field.
- Build and manage a TTA team, in collaboration with OVC, that includes relevant subject matter experts with a range of pertinent knowledge, skills, and experience that is directly related to the needs of ECM task forces.
