Reporting Requirements

As a result of VAWA 2000, all grant recipients are now statutorily required to report on the effectiveness of their projects, and the Attorney General must now report to Congress on the effectiveness of each grant program. Therefore, grantees funded under this Program must collect and maintain data that measures their effectiveness. Grantees are required to submit a Semi-Annual Progress Report.
