Abstract: The Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) intends to collect demographic, programmatic, and outcome data on Services for Survivors of Torture (SOT) grant recipients and the clients they serve. This collection of information is necessary for grant monitoring and is authorized under Section 5(a) of the "Torture Victims Relief Act of 1998," Pub. L. 105-320 (22 U.S.C. § 2152 note) Assistance for Treatment of Torture Victims. ORR will collect these data on the new cohort of Services for SOT grant recipients. Grant recipients submit aggregated data on new and continuing clients annually, including demographic information, characteristics related to experiences of torture, services received, and well-being across six outcome domains. Grant recipients will also provide information about community attendance at trainings and pro-bono services donated to the program. This data collection will allow ORR to learn more about the populations served by SOT grant recipients; the types and effectiveness of services provided; methods, challenges, and facilitators of implementing services; and grant recipients’ progress towards programmatic goals. The data collected will also be used for collaborative research projects to provide technical assistance to grant recipients. A summary of the information collected will be used by ORR in reports to stakeholders, including a required report to Congress, and in responses to funding requests.
