This $500,000 Cooperative Agreement awarded by the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Victims of Crime (OVC) under CFDA 16.053 Sexual Assault Forensic Examinations program aims to increase the number of trained and certified medical providers who can perform adult and child forensic examinations and evidence collection after sexual assaults in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta region of Alaska.

The primary activities of this 3-year project are to recruit, train, and support 6-10 medical providers at the Yukon Kuskokwim Health Corporation (YKHC) to become certified Sexual Assault Forensic Examiners (SAFEs). This will enable them to provide SAFE services in a variety of settings, including the regional hospital, through telemedicine in sub-regional clinics, and as itinerant providers with mobile kits visiting village clinics. The project will also facilitate YKHC's participation in the region's multi-disciplinary team to promote trauma-informed, best practice services for sexual assault survivors. The expected outcomes are to increase survivors' choice of comfortable settings for reporting and receiving examinations, as well as ensure high-quality examinations from well-trained and supported SAFE providers.
