What is it?

The purpose of this program is to support research on sexual violence with the goal of increasing women's safety by informing and improving policy and practice in the criminal justice system. Proposed research may address the stranger, or non-stranger sexual violence against women and adolescent girls.

Sexual violence is held to include all crimes identified by Federal and State statutes for rape, attempted rape, sexual assault, and attempted sexual assault. Intra-family abuse is defined as any act of sexual violence perpetrated by an individual or individuals with whom a girl or woman shares familial ties.

The funding agency welcomes research on all aspects of sexual violence against women. The following priority areas are particularly encouraged:

  • Research examining rape prosecution and factors influencing victim perception of the judicial process
  • Evaluation of multisystem responses to sexual violence
  • Research on the use of forensic science to respond to sexual violence in stranger and non-stranger sexual assault cases

According to the program officer, approximately $1 million was available in FY 2006. Less than 8% of the applications received were awarded funds.
