Semi-Annual Progress Report for
Grants to Indian Tribal Governments Program
Brief Instructions: This form must be completed for each Grants to Indian Tribal Governments (Tribal Governments Program) grant received. The grant administrator or coordinator must ensure that the form is completed fully with regard to all grant activities. Grant partners, however, may complete sections relevant to their portion of the grant. Grant administrators or coordinators are responsible for compiling and submitting a single report that reflects all information collected from grant partners.
All grantees should read each section to determine which questions they must answer based on the activities supported under this grant during the current reporting period. Sections B, F, and subsections A1 and C3 of this form must be completed by all grantees. In sections D, E, and subsections A2, C1, C2, C4, C5, C6 and C7, grantees must answer an initial question about whether they supported certain activities during the current reporting period. If the response is yes, then the grantee must complete that section or subsection. If the response is no, the rest of that section or subsection is skipped.
For example, 1) if you are a victim services agency providing training and victim services with staff funded under this grant, you would complete A1, A2, B, C1, C3, D, and F (and answer ‘no’ in C2, C4, C5, C6, C7 and E1-E5); or, 2) if you are a law enforcement agency receiving funds to pay for staff who provide training to other law enforcement officers, you would complete A1, A2, B, C1, C3, and F (and answer ‘no’ in C2, C4, C5, C6, C7, D and E1-E5).
The activities of volunteers or interns should be reported if they were coordinated or supervised by Tribal Governments program-funded staff or if Tribal Governments program funds substantially supported their activities.
For further information on filling out this form, refer to the separate set of instructions, which contains detailed definitions and examples, illustrating how questions should be answered.

The total number of victims/survivors reported under “Gender” and the total number reported under “Age” should equal the total number of victims/survivors reported in 25A and 25B.

The number of review hearings is the number of individual hearing held for each offender, even when that offender is reviewed during the same monitoring sessions as other offenders. For example, if 10 offenders were reviewed at the same three sessions during the reporting period, the number of offenders reviewed would be 10 and the number of review hearings conducted would be 10 multiplied by 3, or 30.)

Misdemeanor and felony domestic violence/dating violence offenses include any assaults, battery, vandalism, or other offenses that occurred in a domestic violence/dating violence incident.

Multiplying those offenders by the number of face-to-face meetings an officer/monitor had with each offender, the total contacts amounts to 100. The number of offenders reported as having face-to-face meetings would be 20, and the number of total face-to-face contacts would be 100.)
