Title of the Collection: Trafficking Victim Assistance Program
Social Network Analysis--Network Survey.
Type of Collection: New.
OMB No. 0990-NEW--Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning
and Evaluation--Administration for Children and Families' Trafficking
Victim Assistance Program.
Abstract
The Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation
(ASPE), in partnership with the Administration for Children and
Families (ACF), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is
requesting Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for a new
information collection request titled, ``Trafficking Victim Assistance
Program (TVAP) Social Network Analysis--Network Survey.'' Under the
guidance of ASPE and ACF, a contractor is carrying out this assessment.
The data collected and analyzed under this submission will help HHS
better understand the type and extent of the relationship between the
TVAP grantees, TVAP subrecipients, and other service providers
operating in TVAP subrecipient areas. It will also help illuminate each
grantee's and subrecipient's types and number of services provided,
estimated costs of services, service coordination between grantees or
subrecipients and other services providers, and type and strength of
relationships between grantees and subrecipients. This information will
enable HHS to understand the structure of the grantee/subrecipient
network and inform recommendations for more efficient network
management and distribution of support.
TVAP, as authorized by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act of
2000, provides comprehensive case management services to foreign-born
victims of human trafficking residing in the United States. Since its
inception, TVAP funding and infrastructure have remained relatively
unchanged: Services are paid on a per capita basis, and funds are
managed through three primary grantees that enter into cooperative
agreements with service providers (subrecipients). 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. To supplement an earlier fiscal year 2018 assessment to
solicit qualitative feedback from a range of program stakeholders, the
information collected for this program survey aims to help HHS
determine if efficiencies can be gained through improved coordination
among TVAP grantees, TVAP subrecipients, and other service providers.
Data will be collected through an electronic survey of fiscal year
2016 TVAP grantees and subrecipients. Key staff at grantee sites and
subrecipient organizations will complete a self-administered online
survey that will include questions about each respondent's services
provided, estimated costs of services, service coordination between
grantees or subrecipients, and type and strength of
[[Page 22692]]
relationships between grantees and subrecipients. With this data, the
contractor, to inform ASPE and ACF, will build a social/organizational
network to depict how grantee and subrecipient organizations
collaborate with one another through TVAP to better understand the
existing network and identify potential opportunities for improving the
efficiency of the network. ASPE anticipates completion of all data
collection activities by October 2018.
