Native American Studies Postdoctoral Fellowship

This project is consulting and providing continuing guidance on the implementation of the National Baseline Study. This includes continuing to work with NIJ staff on formulating the best sampling plan and refinement of the survey instrument, based in part on feedback received by researchers in the field and members of the VAWA 2005 Section 904 Federal Advisory Task Force. Additionally, this project is conducting an evaluation assessment and research plan for the Office on Violence Against Women's (OVW) Tribal Special Assistant U.S. Attorney (SAUSA) program, examining the state response to crimes against Indian women in Indian Country, and is assisting in other efforts as needed to further the development and implementation of NIJ's program of research. nca/ncf
