Abstract: Under 34 U.S.C. 10238, the Office on Violence Against Women requires semi-annual progress reports on grant-funded activities from all Court Training and Improvements Program grantees in order to meet its Congressionally-mandated reporting requirements as well as to monitor effectively the award of federal funds. Although the reauthorization of VAWA in 2013 did not reauthorize the Courts Program, there are still remaining grantees who need to use the old program's progress reporting form. This formerly authorized grant program provided a unique opportunity for Federal, State, Territorial, and Tribal courts or court-based programs to significantly improve court responses to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking cases utilizing proven specialized court processes to ensure victim safety and offender accountability.
