Who? The Office for Victims of Crime works to provide leadership and enhance the Nation's capacity to assist crime victims in ways that will promote justice and healing for all victims. OVC distributes federal program funds, offers trainings, supports national projects, and hosts programs to help raise awareness about victims’ rights and services to the public. What? OVC provides funding for the demonstration grantees and has provided NIJ with the funding to evaluate the demonstration effort. OVC also provides grantees with ongoing guidance and direction, as well as reviews and approves project plans and documents. Contact Bethany Case bethany.case@usdoj.gov Lindsay Waldrop beatrice.l.waldrop@usdoj.gov Who? The National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges works to improve the lives of children and families who seek justice. NCJFCJ has provided TTA for initiatives involving multiple organizations and spanning a wide range of topics. What? NCJFCJ is providing training and technical assistance to the two demonstration sites. NCJFCJ will help the grantees establish their networks, design and implement the needs assessments/gap analyses, and develop and implement the service delivery strategy. It will also convene a National Steering Committee to share information, coordinate TTA, and develop materials to assist in future replication efforts. Contact Eryn Branch ebranch@ncjfcj.org Crystal Duarte cduarte@ncjfcj.org Michele Robinson mrobinson@ncjfcj.org Who? OVC funded two demonstration projects, in Montana and Virginia, which include grantees and their partners. They are working to develop a consistent and coordinated approach to effectively identify, assess, and provide comprehensive services to youth victims and their families. What? Each grantee’s network will develop replicable and sustainable statewide system of care frameworks to identify and serve youth victims and their families. They will identify the states’ service needs through needs assessments/gap analyses and then design and implement new strategies based on systems of care frameworks.

The National Institute of Justice — the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice — is dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science. NIJ provides objective and independent knowledge and tools to reduce crime and promote justice, particularly at the state and local levels. What? NIJ provided ICF with a grant to carry out the evaluation and is responsible for overseeing ICF on the overall evaluation effort. NIJ is also lending technical expertise and research insight to ICF. Contact Dara Blachman-Demner dara.blachman- demner@usdoj.gov Who? ICF partners with diverse clients to deliver research, programmatic support, technology services, and other assistance in a number of markets, including criminal justice. The ICF team has worked with NIJ and OVC on other victim-centered research and been involved in other studies of systems of care approaches. What? ICF is conducting a national study of the demonstration project to provide critical information back to the project partners and for future replication efforts. As part of the study, ICF will be working with the grantees and their partners to collect data about project activities and outcomes.
