Thank you for your patience as we moved our website to a new server in an effort to continue providing timely and pertinent information to SANEs and SART teams around the country. The move has now been completed.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR USERS UPLOADING DATA TO THE SANE-SART DATA BASE:

We are continuing to experience a technical difficulty with the SANE data tool that allows our users to upload cases to our website. We have now determined that extensive programming will be required to make the SANE data tool operable. Unfortunately, it will require funding to accomplish this task. The SARS office has applied for a grant to facilitate this. We hope that the national database will be operational again this fall. When the SANE data tool is working properly, we will post it on the website. Thank you again for your patience.

Until then, we hope that you will catalogue your sexual assault data to enter in the national data base late this fall. If you choose to suspend entering data at this point and just resume entering new cases this fall, we certainly understand. In the mean time, you will continue to have access to the aggregate data entered up to the point when the data was transferred to the new server in May. While the date shown when you pull a report displays the current date, you will see that the total number of cases entered into the database is frozen at 8,388 cases.

If your agency has loaded over 100 sexual assault cases, your local aggregate data reports will be frozen at the total number of cases entered.

Once the SANE data tool has been reprogrammed, we hope to revise the form utilized for data entry to make the form more user-friendly as well as incorporating suggestions made as to the type of data you would like to see included.

Please notify us by e-mail if you have further suggestions for data that you collect that is not currently included on our "Client Data Sheet" and/or on the aggregate data reports. The e-mail address is admin@sartconference.com
