Administration for Children and Families


Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

    Title: National Human Trafficking Training and Technical Assistance 
Center (NHTTAC) Consultant and Evaluation Package.
    OMB No.: New.
    Description: The Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 (Pub. 
L. 106-386), Section 106(b), as amended at 22 U.S. Code Sec.  7104 and 
22 U.S. Code Sec.  7105(c)(4) authorizes The Office on Trafficking in 
Persons (OTIP), an office of The Administration for Children and 
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to 
establish and carry out human trafficking public awareness programs and 
training for government personnel. Under this authority, OTIP is 
proposing a data collection through the National Human Trafficking 
Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC).
    NHTTAC hosts a variety of services, programs, and facilitated 
sessions to improve service provision to individuals who have been 
trafficked or who are at risk of trafficking, including The Human 
Trafficking Leadership Academy (HTLA); the Survivor Fellowship Program; 
the NHTTAC Customer Support Center; short-term and specialized T/TA 
requests (requests that take less than 3 hours or 3 or more hours to 
fulfill, respectively); OTIP-funded grantees; and information through 
NHTTAC's website, resources, and materials about trafficking.
    Assessment, evaluation, and quality improvement are essential 
components of NHTTAC T/TA delivery and requires data collection from 
NHTTAC T/TA participants, consultants, and other stakeholders that are 
involved in NHTTAC activities. Data will be collected after each T/TA 
event to provide a feedback mechanism to improve the availability and 
delivery of coordinated and trauma-informed services before, during, 
and after an individual's trafficking exploitation. Whenever possible, 
data will be collected from participants and consultants electronically 
via a survey tailored to the specific T/TA event to maximize 
convenience and minimize the burden for participants. When appropriate, 
focus groups and interviews will also be leveraged to obtain contextual 
information about NHTTAC activities. The types of information collected 
tie directly to the outputs, short-term, and long-term objectives of 
NHTTAC.
    Respondents: NHTTAC consultants and T/TA participants are from a 
diverse background with a wide range of experiences within the 
trafficking and public health fields, including health and human 
service providers.
    Human Trafficking Leadership Academy (HTLA): Participants in the 
HTLA comprise survivors of trafficking and anti-trafficking service 
providers.
    Survivor Fellowship Program: Participants are representatives from 
health and human service organizations and survivors of trafficking.
    Customer Support Center: Respondents are primarily health and human 
service providers requesting materials or T/TA on trafficking service 
provision.
    Short-Term and Specialized T/TA: NHTTAC follows up with 
participants 3 to 6 months after specialized T/TA activities to measure 
the outcomes of the T/TA.
    OTIP Grantees: NHTTAC supports OTIP grantees by providing 
information, facilitating information sharing, and hosting meetings and 
webinars.
    NHTTAC Website: NHTTAC hosts a website of information and 
resources; people who visit the website are asked for their feedback on 
how the website can be improved.
    Conference and Meeting Support: NHTTAC supports conferences to 
share information, promising practices, and evidence-based research on 
trafficking within the field. NHTTAC also supports the delivery of 
cluster meetings on behalf of OTIP.
    National Advisory Council: NHTTAC supports the National Advisory 
Council on the Sex Trafficking of Children and Youth in the United 
States (NAC) by facilitating and coordinating meetings. NAC members are 
asked for their feedback following meetings regarding how well the 
group is working together and what could be improved in the future.
    Organizational Scholarships: An organizational survivor scholarship 
may be awarded to organizations for conferences that support OTIP's 
stated goals and work with individuals who have been trafficked and/or 
at risk of trafficking.
    Professional Development Scholarships: Eligible individuals include 
child welfare experts, public health professionals, medical service 
providers, behavioral health professionals, advocates, service 
providers, and individuals who have been trafficked. Federal, tribal, 
state, and local agencies and multidisciplinary teams are also 
eligible.
    SOAR to Health and Wellness (SOAR): Tier I trainings of SOAR engage 
respondents through a variety of modalities: (1) SOAR Online is 
available to the public and comprises multiple modules. (2) SOAR 
trainings at select national and regional conferences or similar 
meetings. (3) SOAR resources will help inform practitioners and 
professionals who work in the public health field. (4) SOAR training 
for U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) personnel is 
similar to SOAR Online but tailored to HHS staff. (5) Emerging issues 
webinars are available to the public but targeted to public health 
professionals, including health and human service providers.
    Tier II of SOAR targets respondents through a blended online 
training to individuals who plan to incorporate the content into their 
organization's policies and best practices. Organizations can also add 
the SOAR Online training to their learning management systems.
    Tier III of SOAR engages respondents through intensive, in-person 
T/TA via SOAR for Communities. The goal is to provide strategic 
planning and goal setting in communities looking to improve their 
response to trafficking.
    NHTTAC Consultants: T/TA expert consultants are subject matter 
experts with at least 7 years of relevant professional experience. 
Survivor impact consultants are individuals who have experienced human 
trafficking. Each category has distinct qualifications and eligibility 
requirements that are fielded through an online application process.
