Abstract: Under U.S.C. 7103(b) Trafficking Victims Protection Act of 2000 authority, Office of Victims of Crime, Office of Justice Programs, would request their grantees to submit performance measurements in the trafficking Information Management System (TIMS) online. This system is designed to collect the performance measurements required of OVC services to Victims of Human Tafficking Grantees. OVC provides this electronic tool to grantees as a way to support them with their grant management and reportins needs. An additional benefit of TIMS is that it standardizes the information being provided to OVC.
