Given the changing landscape and the greater understanding of the nature and extent of trafficking, HHS is undertaking a program assessment to understand whether any efficiencies can be gained in the program administration and structure. Information collected for this program survey aims to help HHS determine if efficiencies can be gained through improved coordination among TVAP grantees, TVAPsubrecipients, and other service providers. We will use the results to further refine how the networks are constructed and gather quantitative measures for understanding the linkages among grantees and subrecipients using the surveys included in this OMB Information Collection Request to further analyze and interpret the referral mechanisms and use of TVAP funding. The information collected will then be analyzed to identify potential opportunities for improving the efficiency of the network.
