Description
This NOFO seeks applications for grant funding to conduct research and evaluation projects examining a broad range of topics to reduce violence against women (VAW), including the crimes of domestic violence (DV) and family violence (FV); intimate partner violence (IPV); rape, sex trafficking, sexual violence (SV); stalking; and teen dating violence (TDV), also known as adolescent relationship abuse (ARA), along with the trauma that results from these crimes and the associated criminal justice system response, procedures, and policies. NIJ also seeks to invest in high-quality evaluations focused on testing programs, practices, models, or interventions aimed at (1) enhancing engagement with the justice system for women and girls who have been victimized and (2) improving accountability within the criminal justice system from individuals who engage in or perpetrate violence against women and girls. This program furthers the DOJ’s mission by supporting the development of new knowledge and tools to address the challenges of crime and justice in the United States through fundamental research.
