💡 Tips for applicants
- Clearly define your target population and the specific forms of TFA you address. Demonstrate expertise in this emerging victim service area.
- Include strong partnerships with law enforcement, digital forensics experts, or mental health providers. Collaboration strengthens competitiveness.
- Show how your project fills gaps in victim services. Technology-facilitated abuse is newer and often underserved compared to traditional crime victim support.
- Document outcomes and impact metrics specific to TFA survivors. Include counseling completion rates, legal outcomes, or safety planning success.
- Address the trauma-informed approach in victim support. Emphasize cultural competency and trauma-specific protocols for this population.
⚠️ Common mistakes
Applicants fail to demonstrate expertise or existing programs addressing technology-facilitated abuse specifically. Vague project descriptions that don't distinguish TFA from general victim services reduce competitiveness. Weak evaluation plans without TFA-specific outcome metrics cause rejections.
