Consent Information

Evaluation of the Trafficking Victims Assistance Program and Aspire Program

Subrecipient Survey – Consent Form

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey for the Evaluation of the Trafficking Victim Assistance Program (TVAP) and Aspire: Child Trafficking Victim Assistance Demonstration Program (Aspire), which is being conducted by RTI International (RTI), a nonprofit research organization. This evaluation seeks to understand the history, goals, structure, and implementation of TVAP and Aspire. The TVAP and Aspire Evaluation is overseen by the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE), in partnership with the Office on Trafficking in Persons (OTIP), in the Administration for Children and Families (ACF).

As part of this evaluation, we are asking service providers that have been a TVAP and/or Aspire subrecipient any time since October 1, 2022, to complete this online survey. The survey will help us to understand the TVAP and Aspire program administration, including the program context, partnership and collaboration approaches, client referral processes, comprehensive case management and service delivery, and implementation challenges and facilitators.

You are receiving this survey invitation because your organization was identified by the prime award recipient, [prime award recipient organization], as a TVAP and/or Aspire subrecipient. The survey will take approximately 35 minutes. Your response is very important to the success of this evaluation. Your response will help to build foundational knowledge about the TVAP and Aspire programs, including what is working and what could be improved. There are no identified risks of participating in this evaluation. To thank you for your time participating in this survey, you will receive a $25 electronic gift card token of appreciation at the end of this survey.

Any information you provide will be kept private by RTI to the extent permitted by law, and your responses will be stored on a secure network. No one outside of the RTI evaluation team will know how you answered the questions, including anyone at your organization, [prime award recipient], or ACF (e.g., OTIP). They also will not know if you have or have not agreed to participate. Your participation in this evaluation is voluntary, and you have the right to refuse to answer any question in the survey. You may withdraw from the evaluation at any time. Your decision to participate or not to participate will not have any impact on your employment or on your organization’s relationship with [prime award recipient] or ACF.

We never identify an individual’s responses in our reports. Your responses will be combined with responses from other subrecipients taking part in the evaluation. Our reports will only include the combined information. We may use quotes from survey open-ended responses, but we’ll remove identifying information and describe you using general terms like “subrecipient.” We will keep your survey response secure until the project ends in 2028, after which it will be deleted.

You will be able to save your answers and return if you cannot complete the survey in one sitting. If you have any technical problems with the survey, please contact [Name] (survey administrator at RTI) at 919-485-1305 or by email at [email]. If you have any questions or concerns about the evaluation, please contact Kelle Barrick (Evaluation Lead at RTI) at 919-541-6435 or by e-mail at kbarrick@rti.org.
