Semi-Annual Performance Report for
Sexual Assault Services Culturally Specific Program
Brief Instructions
This reporting tool details the Semi-Annual Performance Report questions for the Sexual Assault
Services Culturally Specific Program (SASP-CS). A report must be completed for each grant received.
Grant partners may complete sections relevant to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators and
coordinators are responsible for compiling and submitting a single report that reflects all information
collected from grant partners.
All grantees must complete the required sections. Required questions are marked with an asterisk (*).
For all other sections, grantees must answer an initial question about whether they used SASP-CS
Program funds to support certain activities during the current reporting period. If the response is yes,
then the grantee must complete that section. If the response is no, the rest of that section is skipped.
The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by
SASP-CS Program-funded staff or if SASP-CS Program funds substantially supported their activities.
For further information on filling out this report, refer to the separate instructions, which contain
detailed definitions and examples.
Public Reporting Burden
Paperwork Reduction Act Notice. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. We try
to create forms and instructions that are accurate, can be easily understood, and which impose the
least possible burden on you to provide us with information. The estimated average time to complete
and file this form is 60 minutes per form. If you have comments regarding the accuracy of this
estimate, or suggestions for making this form simpler, you can write to the Office on Violence Against
Women, U.S. Department of Justice, 145 N Street NE, Washington, DC 20530.

Staff
1. Were SASP-CS Program grant funds used to fund staff time (at your agency, at a
partner agency, contractors, or stipends) during the current reporting period?
•
•
Yes
No
2. Staff
Report the total number of full-time equivalent (FTE) staff funded by the SASP-CS Program
grant during the current reporting period.
Reporting 1.00 FTEs means a staff person worked full-time and was 100% funded by
the grant for the entire reporting period. Typically, one FTE is equal to 1,040 hours (40
hours per week multiplied by 26 weeks).
FTEs should be prorated to reflect when a staff person did not work-full time and/or
when was not 100% funded by the SASP-CS Program grant for the entire reporting
period.
Report staff by the function(s) they performed, not by title.
Round and report FTEs to the second decimal place. For example, if you calculate an
FTE to be 0.66667, then rounding to the second decimal would mean this FTE would
be reported as 0.67 FTE.

and “female.” Grantees should report the data that is relevant to those categories in those
categories. Grantees should not report data for victims for whom sex is unknown. The total
number of victims reported in this section must be less than or equal to the total number of
