What:  The Consolidated Grant and Technical Assistance Program to Address Children and Youth Experiencing Domestic and Sexual Violence and Engage Men and Boys as Allies, hereafter referred to as the Consolidated Grant Program is designed to address two primary purposes:  1) support comprehensive child and youth-centered prevention and intervention projects that maximize community-based efforts and evidence-informed practices to more fully address exposure to domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking; and 2) support multi-faceted prevention strategies that involve community organizing, outreach, public education and mobilization that utilize men as influencers of other men and boys and encourages them to work as allies with women and girls to prevent domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault and stalking.  The Consolidated Grant Program also supports activities that were previously funded under the following four OVW grant programs:   1) Grants to Assist Children and Youth Exposed to Violence Program (CEV);  2) Services to Advocate for and Respond to Youth Program (Youth Services); 3) Services, Training, Education and Policies to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking in Secondary Schools Grant Program (STEP); and 4) Engaging Men in Preventing Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking Program (Engaging Men).

 

Research and Innovation Seed Funding Program: RFP

The Research and Innovation Seed Funding (RISF) Program is now accepting proposals from NC State faculty and staff professionals. The proposal due date is Friday, September 28, 2012, at 11:59 PM. 

More details are at go.ncsu.edu/risf

Global Health Projects: Call for Participation

Colleagues, I received this note from Marian McCord, our university's leader of global health initiatives. I know that some of you are working in this domain, and encourage you to get involved as outlined below.

Dear Friend of NCSU Global Health,

Can you identify a global health need that requires a multidisciplinary solution?  Are you interested in mentoring a real world student project?  NCSU’s Global Health Initiatives wants to know about it!

Please see the announcement below which can also be seen here.  Student projects, in conjunction with or independent of a class/course, serve the dual purpose of fostering student awareness and learning, and generating useful ideas and solutions. 

If you have concerned about intellectual property ownership, here is a link to information regarding NCSU’s Academic Course Design Project agreement: Academic Course Design Agreement. This agreement may or may not apply to your project!!

If you are a faculty member, and are interested in working on a global health project within your course (or already plan to do so), please contact me at mmccord@ncsu.edu . 

We look forward to hearing from you.  Also, please feel free to forward this email to others within your organization, or outside, who may be interested.

Sincerely,

Marian McCord
