Grant: Planning and Dissemination Grant - Institute Community Support

This funding will help plan effective strategies to increase men's participation in research around violence - in particular, intimate partner violence (IPV) or domestic violence - and to build a community of practice to engage these efforts. The majority of IPV studies have been limited to women's perspectives, despite the role men play as both recipients and perpetrators. By developing and disseminating an action plan that identifies those forces that inhibit -- and facilitators that encourage -- men's participation in research, that prioritizes novel recruitment strategies aimed at men, and that builds partnerships between researchers and knowledge users, this effort will lead to scholarship that is more just, more rigorous, and more useful, particularly for the creation of effective violence prevention and intervention strategies.
