Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ORR ZT 1357
The Technical Assistance to the Survivors of Torture (SOT) Program is a federal discretionary grant opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families (ACF), through the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Released on May 17, 2018 (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2018 ACF ORR ZT 1357; CFDA 93.604), this opportunity funds a single national cooperative agreement intended to strengthen the network of organizations that provide services to survivors of torture in the United States. The overarching goal is to help ensure survivors of torture can consistently access high-quality, effective, and survivor-centered services by offering specialized technical assistance to “centers of healing” and other ORR-funded programs working with this population.
At its core, the program is designed around two linked objectives. First, it aims to build provider and organizational capacity to deliver holistic and integrated services. In practice, this means improving the ability of programs to coordinate and deliver a full spectrum of supports that survivors of torture often need, such as trauma-informed behavioral health care, medical and legal coordination, case management, social support, and culturally and linguistically appropriate services. Second, it focuses on evaluating and strengthening program quality and long-term sustainability. This includes helping organizations improve how they measure outcomes, maintain consistent standards of care, and develop the internal systems needed to remain stable and effective over time.
The funded technical assistance provider is expected to offer national-level support activities rather than direct client services. ORR highlights a broad range of allowable and anticipated technical assistance approaches, including delivering trainings and workshops, providing individualized consultations and problem-solving support to grantees, and facilitating information sharing across the field. The work may also involve maintaining online resources and toolkits, running listservs or other peer-learning communication channels, and disseminating evidence-based or evidence-informed practices relevant to torture rehabilitation and trauma recovery. ORR also anticipates research and resource development functions, such as producing guidance documents, templates, and practical materials that programs can use to improve service delivery and administration.
A substantial emphasis is placed on continuous quality improvement and organizational development. The opportunity explicitly includes support for organizational self-assessments, assistance with program evaluation design and implementation, and help with strategic planning. Taken together, these components are meant to help ORR-funded organizations strengthen governance and management practices, refine service models, document outcomes more convincingly, and make improvements that endure beyond the period of federal support. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, applicants should expect substantial federal involvement during implementation, typically meaning ongoing coordination with ORR on priorities, deliverables, and performance expectations.
Eligibility for the opportunity is broad and includes many types of public and private entities. Eligible applicants include state, county, city, township, and special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in the nonprofit category as listed); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests ORR’s interest in identifying the strongest national technical assistance provider regardless of sector, as long as the applicant can credibly serve as a hub for expertise, training, coordination, and capacity building across the SOT service landscape.
The funding parameters reflect a single, centralized national award. ORR anticipated one award with an award ceiling of $500,000. Applications were due July 3, 2018, with electronic submissions required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. In summary, this opportunity funds one organization to function as a national technical assistance leader for ORR’s Survivors of Torture service network, with responsibilities centered on improving integrated service delivery, strengthening program quality and sustainability, and advancing shared learning and evaluation capacity across providers.Apply for HHS 2018 ACF ORR ZT 1357
