Projects may also connect police, prosecutor, and court data systems; coordinate statewide justice and victim-services responses; address the needs of older and disabled women; or develop Sexual Assault Response Teams. Work to identify sexual assault evidence-kit backlogs and establish protocols for addressing them and involving victims is also eligible. Every project must address at least one State Priority Area listed in the application.
