This database has been designed to assist Office on
Violence Against Women grantees in collection of data for the Semi-Annual
Progress Reporting forms designed by the VAWA Measuring Effectiveness
Initiative at the Muskie School of Public Service. The database application
is specifically designed to collect the data for this progress reporting
form. It is NOT MANDATORY
to use this database to collect and report the data for the Semi-Annual
Progress Reporting form, and you will not be able to transfer
data from the database to the GMS reporting system. As
such, any client identifying or any other confidential information will
remain with the database and will not be shared with either OVW or the
Muskie School. Any grantee using a network to house the database or sharing
the database with other project partners must independently ensure client
confidentiality. (For more information about client confidentiality,
click here on the Data
Security Checklist prepared by the National Network to End Domestic
Violence.) This is a freeware software application, i.e. you can alter,
modify, or adapt it to new contexts or new uses as per the terms in the
