This webinar will provide information on the NIJ FY 2025 Research and Evaluation on Violence Against Women Funding Opportunity, which seeks to support the development of objective and independent knowledge and validated tools to reduce violence against women (VAW), promote justice for victims of crime, and enhance criminal justice responses.
This funding opportunity seeks applications for grant funding to conduct research and evaluation projects examining a broad range of topics, including the crimes of domestic and family violence, intimate partner violence, rape, sex trafficking, sexual violence, stalking, and teen dating violence, also known as adolescent relationship abuse, 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:
- Enhancing engagement with the justice system for women and girls who have been victimized.
- Improving accountability within the criminal justice system from individuals who engage in or perpetrate violence against women and girls.
