Through training and technical assistance (TTA), OVC works to enhance the field’s services to victims by providing timely, expert, coordinated, and data-driven responses. OVC uses TTA to develop, enhance, and sustain quality services to crime victims through the delivery of TTA that addresses current and emerging issues in the victim services field. This is done through a variety of targeted TTA efforts aligned with specific grant programs or initiatives; targeted TTA projects such as the OVC Center for VOCA Administrators, the Tribal Financial Management Center, and the Human Trafficking Capacity Building Center; and through training and technical assistance offered through OVC’s Training and Technical Assistance Center (TTAC). OVC supports these efforts through a combination of contracts and cooperative agreements. This Statement of Work (SOW) describes the requirements for a Contractor to coordinate OVC’s collective TTA efforts under the OVC-TAC program described below. The focus of OVC-TAC is to provide a structure to support, organize, and leverage the work of OVC’s TTA providers who are working directly with the field.
