The National Protocols Training and Technical Assistance (T/TA) Project (SAFETA) provides training and technical assistance (TA) around implementing the National Intimate Partner Violence Medical Forensic Examination Protocol, National Protocol for Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examinations Adult/Adolescent 2nd Edition, the National Protocol for Sexual Abuse Medical Forensic Examinations: Pediatric, the National Best Practices for Sexual Assault Kits: A Multidisciplinary Approach, and the National SAFE Training Standards 2nd Edition.

The National Tribal Clearinghouse on Sexual Assault (NTCSA) is a comprehensive resource hub that supports our Tribal communities with resources and education dedicated to improving the response to sexual assault. The NTCSA was developed by the Minnesota Indian Women’s Sexual Assault Coalition (MIWSAC) and the International Association of Forensic Nurses (IAFN). IAFN hosts the Indigenous Sexual Abuse and Assault Clearinghouse (ISAAC) website, including an online learning management system (LMS), to support broadly accessible TTA to multidisciplinary audiences serving AI/AN sexual assault survivors. The ISAAC component of the NTCSA focuses on ensuring responses are culturally appropriate and on strengthening tribal medical responses to AI/AN sexual assault survivors.
