Development OF Resource Materials...

The NRCDV has produced over 160 original publications, including fact sheets, resource packets, applied research papers, annotated resource lists, curricula, training materials, funding alerts and policy briefs. These include, for example, publications related to the experiences of children exposed to domestic violence, integrating economic advocacy into the work of domestic violence programs, domestic violence statistics, school-based programs promoting safe and healthy relationships for youth, advocating for domestic violence victims within the welfare system, and a comprehensive teen dating violence resource packet. NRCDV materials are distributed at conferences and meetings, in addition to being disseminated electronically through VAWnet and other websites, listservs and broadcast e-mails.

Funding Alerts
The NRCDV Library Team maintains a searchable grants and funding database and publishes a twice monthly Funding Alert, providing a bi-weekly synopsis of current fellowships, scholarships, and grants that may be used to address domestic violence, dating violence, sexual violence, and stalking.

Comprehensive Resource Packets
Distributed nationally in both hard copy and CD versions, the specialized packets respond to issues of particular concern to domestic violence advocates. The NRCDV recently completed resource packets on Religion and Domestic Violence, and LGBT Communities and Domestic Violence.

Applied Research Papers
Through VAWnet’s Applied Research Forum, researchers and practitioners are commissioned to create brief summaries and interpretations of current research on violence against women. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) and the University of Minnesota School of Social Work serve as our key partner and provides critical guidance regarding the information and resources provided through VAWnet. To date, over 55 Applied Research Papers have been developed and disseminated through VAWnet and other means.
