Allowable activities include physical, psychological, social and legal services which will be described in Section I. Funding Opportunity Description/Services for Torture Survivors of the published funding opportunity announcement (FOA). Applicants may propose all or, or a combination of, these services. If the applicant does not propose to provide all of the allowable services directly, the application should describe how the applicant will ensure that clients have access to analogous services, if needed.
