SEMI-ANNUAL PROGRESS REPORT FOR
Court Training and Improvements Program
Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Court Training and Improvements Program (Courts Program)
grant received. A grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that the form is completed fully with regard to all
grant-funded activities. Grant partners, however, 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.
Following are some guidelines regarding which sections of the form must be completed by Courts Program grantees:
• Supplemental training projects must complete sections A, B, and H and in most cases will complete
subsection C1; they will not complete subsection C8 or sections D through G.
• Development projects must complete sections A, B, and H and subsection C3, and in most cases will
complete subsection C8; these grantees should read the introductory question in each of the remaining
sections and subsections (C1-C2, C4-C7, C9, and D through G) to determine whether they must complete
that section, based on the specific activities engaged in under their Courts Program grant during the
current reporting period.
For example,
1) If you are a supplemental training project and have used Courts Program funds to develop a curriculum for
family court judges in your state (but have not actually delivered training during the current reporting
period), you will complete sections A, B, C5, and H.
2) If you are a development project and have only used your funds for planning during the current reporting
period, you will complete sections A, B, C2, C3, and H.
3) If you are a development project and used funds to establish a specialized civil protection order docket and
to provide training to your court staff, you will complete sections A, B, C1, C3, C8, F1, and H.
The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by Courts Programfunded staff or if Courts Program funds substantially supported their activities.
For further information on filling out this form, refer to the separate instructions, which contain detailed definitions and
examples illustrating how questions should be answered.

person to fear for his or her safety or the safety of others, or suffer substantial emotional distress.

PLEASE LIMIT YOUR RESPONSES TO THE SPACE PROVIDED.
68. Report on the status of your Courts Program grant goals and objectives as of the end of the current
reporting period.

of the current reporting period, as they were identified in your grant proposal or as they have been
added or revised. Indicate whether the activities related to your objectives for the current reporting
period have been completed, are in progress, are delayed, or have been revised. Comment briefly on
your successes and challenges, and provide any additional explanation you feel is necessary for us to
understand what you have or have not accomplished relative to your goals and objectives. If you have
not accomplished objectives that should have been accomplished during the current reporting period,
you must provide an explanation.)
Page 53.
All grantees must answer questions 69 and 70 on an annual basis. Submit this information on the
January to June reporting form only.
PLEASE LIMIT YOUR RESPONSES TO THE SPACE PROVIDED (8,000 CHARACTERS).
69. What do you see as the most significant areas of remaining need, with regard to meeting the needs
of victims/survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and/or stalking and their
families and increasing offender accountability?
(Consider geographic region, underserved populations, service delivery systems, types of legal
issues, and challenges and barriers unique to your court, your court system, and your jurisdiction.)
Page 56.
70. What has Courts Program funding allowed you to do that you could not do prior to receiving this
funding?
(For example, funding has enabled your Courts Program-funded court to exchange case information
between criminal, civil, and family divisions of your courts in cases involving domestic violence, resulting
in fewer conflicting orders, and improved victim safety and offender accountability; it has contributed to
fewer continuances, a reduction in the number of hearings to reach resolution of family matters, or in
fewer motions for contempt and motions to modify court orders in cases involving domestic violence.)

Questions 71 and 72 are optional.
PLEASE LIMIT YOUR RESPONSES TO THE SPACE PROVIDED (8,000 CHARACTERS).
71. Provide any additional information that you would like us to know about your Courts Program grant
and/or the effectiveness of your grant.

Page 60.
72. Provide any additional information that you would like us to know about the data submitted.
(If you have any information that could be helpful in understanding the data you have submitted in this
report, please answer this question. For example, if you submitted two different progress reports for the
same reporting period, you may explain how the data was apportioned to each report; if you funded staff
- e.g., advocates and attorneys - but did not report any corresponding victim services or court cases, you
may explain why; or if you did not use program funds to support either staff or activities during the
reporting period, please explain how program funds were used, if you have not already done so.)
