The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has announced the applications for its 2022 Research and Evaluation Solicitation to research and evaluate approaches to combatting domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking (hereafter referred to as “VAWA crimes”).
The initiative is designed to support researcher-practitioner partnerships and a broad range of research and evaluation methods, including qualitative, mixed-method, quasi-experimental, and experimental designs. Because OVW has very limited funds to support research and evaluation, this initiative prioritizes topics for which a stronger evidence base would help OVW grantees use federal funds most effectively.
Topics
- Evaluations of VAWA-funded interventions
- Evaluations of emerging innovations
- Evaluation of training curricula, tools, and other technical assistance (TA) resources developed and implemented with OVW grant funds.
- Secondary data analyses related to domestic/dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking.
- Research, evaluation, and data analysis related to domestic violence homicide prevention.
Priority Areas
- In FY 2022, OVW is interested in supporting these priority areas: Advance racial equity as an essential component of ending sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking.
- Increase access to justice for all survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including through exploration of survivor-centered criminal justice system reform.
- Strengthen efforts to prevent and end sexual assault, including victim services and civil and criminal justice responses.
- Expand economic justice and financial advocacy for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking, including as a tool for violence prevention.
- Improve outreach, services, civil and criminal justice responses, prevention, and support for survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking from underserved communities, particularly LGBTQ and immigrant communities.
