## What the grant funds

This initiative supports Tribes and United States Attorneys’ Offices (USAOs) in their investigation and prosecution of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, sex trafficking, and stalking cases in Indian country. Grant funds support dedicated Tribal prosecutors who are cross-designated as Special Assistant United States Attorneys (SAUSAs) to work directly with their USAO partners. The goals of the initiative are to fill gaps in jurisdictional coverage; increase communication and coordination among Tribal, federal, and state law enforcement agencies; establish consistent relationships between federal prosecutors and Tribal community(ies); and improve the quality of investigation and prosecution of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, sex trafficking, and stalking cases through training and best practices.
