The Office for Victims of Crime (OVC) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) intend to fund up to eight demonstration sites that will implement trauma-informed, comprehensive services for male survivors of violence. OVC and OJJDP also fund training and technical assistance (TTA) providers to assist the demonstration sites with outreach efforts aimed at educating stakeholders and communities where projects operate on adverse effects of trauma and violence. RTI is implementing a mixed-methods evaluation design to determine demonstration sites' fidelity to implementation strategies with the goal of improving services for male survivors of violence and their families.

The Office of Victims of Crime funded RTI to design and implement a cross-site evaluation of a demonstration initiative, which seeks to provide timely and culturally relevant victim and trauma-related services to young men and boys of color who have experienced violence. The evaluation includes an assessment of existing partnerships of each demonstration site strategy, focusing on the roles and responsibilities are of partners that contribute to the success of the project.
