Lightning Talk: The Rutgers Violence Against Women Research Consortium: Addressing Research Gaps and Fostering Creative Dissemination

Thu, Nov 17, 5:00 to 6:20pm, M302, Marquis Level

Session Submission Type: Lightning Talk Session

Abstract/Description

In 2017, the National Institute of Justice executed a collaborative agreement with Rutgers University to establish the Rutgers Violence Against Women Research Consortium. The overarching goal of the Consortium, which is in its final year, was to identify, implement, and disseminate research and evaluation projects that fill gaps in our current knowledge on intimate partner violence, sexual violence, stalking, and teen dating violence. This was achieved through the establishment of working groups and the granting of small pools of funding to projects that addressed gaps in the aforementioned areas. In addition to knowledge generation, an identified benefit of the Consortium was its ability to bring together researchers and practitioners from diverse backgrounds to discuss key issues in the field and collaborate on projects. As part of this lightening talk panel, we will present findings from five of the studies funded by the Research Consortium, as well as the utilization of creative dissemination strategies.
