This program provides grants to recruit, train, and develop victim service professionals that will provide direct victim services to American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) victims of crimes in locations that are remote and where positions are hard to fill. Projects should focus on engaging interested individuals, including college and university students, who are from, or live and attend school in, these areas.
Successful applicants will be expected to accomplish the following objectives:
- Establish and administer a structured program that links individuals interested in victim service careers to internship or residency opportunities with either a BIA- or tribally run victim services program. Applicants may include incentives for participants, including, but not limited to, a stipend, course credit, tuition assistance, or priority consideration for future employment opportunities.
- Provide supervision and training to participants in the program by experienced victim service professionals
- Establish baseline data for performance metrics and a data collection process to support an assessment of this initiative
