Violence Against Women Research Consortium
Bringing together experts to identify, implement, and disseminate projects that fill the gaps in our current knowledge on Violence Against Women.
What is VAWRC?
The Rutgers Violence Against Women Research Consortium (VAWRC) worked collaboratively with interdisciplinary researchers and the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) (2016-MU-CX-K011) research scientists to identify, implement, and disseminate research and evaluation projects that fill the gaps in our current knowledge on intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), stalking, and teen dating violence (TDV). The Consortium was housed at the Center for Research on Ending Violence at Rutgers University, School of Social Work.
The VAWRC project ran from 2016 to 2022 (PI Dr. Sarah McMahon, Co-PI Dr. Judy Postmus). We are pleased to share the work that the Consortium produced on this site.
