Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Question 1: Date of report  Question 2: Current reporting period Will not be able to adjust report period; true period is July – December 2011 VAWA MEI8

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Question 3: Subgrantee name  Question 4: Subgrant number(s) List all FCADV STOP subcontract numbers; all STOP subcontracts received from FCADV should be reported together on the one form. VAWA MEI9

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Question 5,5a, 5b: Type of funded organization, faith based, culturally- specific community-based organization Organization receiving STOP Program funds  Question 6: Point of contact Person responsible for day-to-day activities VAWA MEI10

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Question 7: Tribal populations STOP Program subgrant specifically focuses on tribal populations VAWA MEI11

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Question 8: Percentage of funds Report the approximate percentage of funds (or resources) committed to each area—domestic violence/dating violence, sexual assault, stalking. Make this determination based on the STOP Program-funded activities. VAWA MEI12

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy FTE: full time equivalent (e.g., 40 hrs/wk) for STOP-funded staff and for required match Time should be pro-rated Use decimals, not percentages Include FTEs for contractors, consultants, part-time, temporary, overtime VAWA MEI13

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy Report by job function(s) rather than job title Divide staff time into multiple functions “Other” staff – be specific! VAWA MEI14

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy Calculations: based on 52 weeks or 2080 working hrs in a 12-month reporting period. 1.0 = (40 hrs/week, 2080 hrs/12 months [40 hrs X 52 wks]).50 = (20 hrs/week, 1040 hrs/12 months).40 = (16 hrs/week, 832 hrs/12 months).25 = (10 hrs/week, 520 hrs/12 months).10 = (4 hrs/week, 208 hrs/12 months) FTE = hours worked in the 12-month reporting period, divided by 2080, or FT weekly hrs. times 52 weeks VAWA MEI15

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy A county received a STOP subgrant that was used to fund one full-time prosecutor whose salary was 100% funded by the subgrant and another full-time prosecutor whose salary was 25% funded by the subgrant. In this case, you would report only STOP Program funded FTEs. The correct FTE under “Prosecutor” would be 1.25 FTE (100%+25%). VAWA MEI16

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy A county received a STOP Program subgrant that was used to fund a full-time victim assistant in the prosecutor’s office who spent approximately 20 hours a week coordinating their victim services, 18 hours providing victim services, and 2 hours training. In this case, you would divide staff time by function. The correct FTE under “Program Coordinator” would be 0.5 FTE (20 hours/40 hours), under “Victim Assistant” 0.45 FTE (18 hours/40 hours), under “Trainer” 0.05 FTE (2 hours/40 hours). VAWA MEI17

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy The subgrant also funded a full-time administrative assistant who was hired four months into the reporting period. In this case, you would need to pro-rate the FTE to reflect eight months of the 12- month reporting period. The correct FTE under “Support Staff” would be.66 FTE (8 months/12 months). VAWA MEI18

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy The subgrant also funded 300 hours of overtime for law enforcement officers during the 12-month reporting period. Those overtime hours need to be converted into FTEs. The correct FTE under “Law Enforcement officer” would be.14 FTE (300 hours/2080 hours). VAWA MEI19

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy Appropriate others: evaluator, data analyst, offender treatment or BIP facilitator If functions are similar, use existing category (e.g., 911 dispatcher – report as LE officer) If more than one “other,” include the FTEs for each Be specific about function in other (no consultant, contractor, graduate student, etc.) VAWA MEI20

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy Training is for professionals or volunteers acting in the role of a professional, to improve their response to victims/survivors as it relates to their role in the system.

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy  Do report training provided by grant funded staff to non-grant funded staff, or if non- grant funded staff were sent to training with STOP Program funds.  Do not report training provided to grant funded staff. VAWA MEI23

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy Grant-funded staff held a class and the participants were the same over a three- week period. They also went to a conference and conducted a workshop for three days for completely different audiences each day. The correct number to report under training events would be 4 (class – 1 event, conference – 3 events). VAWA MEI24

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy By discipline Multidisciplinary—only as a last resort Government agency staff: child protective; fire dept. personnel; city, county, state workers unless specific category exists Use existing categories when possible VAWA MEI25

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy The grant was also used to send 3 judges to the judicial institute. One of them is STOP grant funded, and 2 are funded through other means. In this case, you would need to report training received only by non-grant funded staff. The correct number under “Judges” would be 2. VAWA MEI26

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy During the reporting period one STOP Program- funded prosecutor conducted statewide training that involved 7 other prosecutors, 14 law enforcement officers, and 8 victim advocates; non-STOP grant-funded prosecutor made a presentation to 40 business owners. VAWA MEI27

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy In this case, would you report this as: a. one training event in item 11, and 7 under “Prosecutors,” 14 under “Law enforcement officers,” and 8 under “Victim advocates” in item 12. OR b. two training events in item 11, and 7 under “Prosecutors”, 14 under “Law enforcement officers,” 8 under “Victim advocates,” and 40 under “Multidisciplinary” in item 12. VAWA MEI28

What services did the VICTIM/SURVIVOR REQUEST? 3.Is the person a PRIMARY VICTIM/SURVIVOR of domestic violence/dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking? VAWA MEI

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy A victim requested counseling at the beginning of the reporting period and then the same victim came back at the end of the reporting period and requested civil legal advocacy. In this case, unduplicated count of victims/survivors should be reported. You should report this person only once in Question 25. VAWA MEI44

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy A victim comes into your program looking for help with a protection order. Her estranged intimate partner, who had a history of very controlling behavior, came to her apartment and sexually assaulted her. In this case, you could report the victim under either DV or SA, but you must choose only one. SA category may be more appropriate, because it was the sexual assault that prompted her to seek services. VAWA MEI45

Muskie School of Public Service Cutler Institute for Health and Social Policy A victim whose ex-husband has been charged with stalking comes into the prosecutor’s office to get information about the criminal process. Your victim advocate explains the process to her. She asks the advocate to attend the arraignment with her, but the advocate already is scheduled to be in another court on the date.
