What is it?

The purpose of this program is to increase research knowledge and improve victim safety and justice system and related responses to intimate partner violence and stalking. Proposed projects should advance policy and practice, be based on theory, and build on existing, relevant research and evaluation. Applicants must discuss anticipated problems with their proposed design and how those problems can be avoided or managed. Research and evaluation in the following priority areas is encouraged:

  • Research and evaluation to improve law enforcement, prosecution, and judicial responses to intimate partner violence
  • Research and evaluations of justice system responses to stalking
  • Research and evaluation on intimate partner violence and custody issues

Research on all aspects of justice system responses to intimate partner violence and stalking of women, and rigorous quantitative studies and qualitative studies that incorporate spatial analysis are encouraged; however, projects may also address other violence within intimate partner violence. Priority will be given to projects that include experimental or randomized design.

Per the program officer, $2 million was available for FY 2006. Approximately 15 percent of the applications submitted received awards. This year, the funding agency anticipates making between 10 to 20 awards. Per the program officer, matching funds are not required, although investing some of the applicant's own resources may be beneficial in the review process. This is particularly helpful with applications from government agencies or nonprofit organizations. The reviewers may consider the applicant's contribution to indicate that the applicant cares enough about the project to put their own funds into it.

Less than 10 awards were made through this program in FY 2005.
