This is a service-delivery grant for domestic violence and sexual assault survivor services, legal advocacy, housing, and employment support. It is outside IPPRA’s core research program in risk, weather, energy, nuclear, and education policy evaluation, so it would not plausibly be pursued with a team member as PI.
