National Children's Alliance (NCA) is a non-profit membership organization that accredits Children's Advocacy Centers throughout the nation. Through this project, NCA will support a national subgrant program for children's advocacy centers and military installation collaborations that provide a coordinated investigative and comprehensive response to child abuse and include partners such as the Department of Defense Family Advocacy Program, command staff, and military investigative and medical personnel. NCA will develop and implement a strategy to ensure that children in military families have access to the children's advocacy center model through coordination with the Department of Defense and children's advocacy center organizations with regional or national reach. NCA will also document the progress of project implementation and the collaborative model developed at each site in a report to inform future work and publications related to implementation and replication.
