Technical assistance by the TTAC provides expert, focused support and mentoring in areas such as program management, program evaluation, and policy/procedure development to facilitate long-term, systemic change to improve services to crime victims. Training involves ensuring that training materials developed by OVC, in partnership with its discretionary grantees, are available to the victim services field. A speakers bureau supplies speakers for conferences, focus groups, and other meetings; and a consultant pool maintains a pool of experts capable of providing effective on-site technical assistance to address operational problems and needs. This pool can be tapped for skilled trainers to present curricula developed under OVC's discretionary grant programs and for speakers to conduct workshops at conferences and meetings. Eligible applicants are public agencies and private nonprofit organizations, as well as victim service, criminal justice, and allied professionals. This paper also outlines available assistance/match requirements, the application deadline/process, and selection criteria.
