NIJ FY09 Research and Evaluation on Sexual and Teen Dating Violence

NIJ seeks applications for funding research to help increase women's safety and improve the justice system and related responses to sexual violence and teen dating violence. Research is sought on the criminal justice system's response to sexual violence; the extent of the problem of teen dating violence and characteristics of abusive teen relationships; and the evaluation of teen dating violence programs, policies, and legislation. Applications addressing other areas of research on violence against women, such as Intimate Partner Violence and Stalking, will be accepted. However, applicants are strongly encouraged to consider NIJ's stated research priorities as they are outlined in this solicitation.
