*Abstract:* The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) administers the Demonstration Program on Trauma-Informed, Victim-Centered Training for Law Enforcement on Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, and Stalking (Abby Honold Program), which supports efforts to improve law enforcement's response to allegations of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from the time of a victim's initial report throughout the entire investigation, and to promote the efforts of law enforcement in improving the response to these crimes. The Abby Honold Program awards grants to law enforcement agencies to train officers to conduct trauma informed and victim-centered investigations, with the goal of incorporating trauma-informed techniques designed to prevent re-traumatization of the victim and to increase communication between victims and law enforcement as well as stakeholders in a coordinated community response. This program's purpose is also to evaluate the effectiveness of the training. Under this program, the eligible entities are State, territorial, local, and/or Tribal law enforcement agencies that investigate crimes involving sexual assault. OVW issued awards under this new grant program for the first time in Fiscal Year 2024, and OVW will use data from the proposed information collection to monitor grant-funded activities, qualitatively assess those activities and report to Congress on the effectiveness of grant-funded activities. Note that in Fiscal Year 2025, the Abby Honold Program only supported projects addressing responses to allegations of sexual assault.
