REMINDER: ACJS 2011 Toronto Annual Meeting - Focus Group Participants and Interviewees Needed for Violence Against Women Research

The National Institute of Justice has devoted substantial efforts to promoting researcher-practitioner partnerships specific to Violence Against Women (VAW) research. As a result, there have been numerous partnerships specific to this topic whereby partners have acquired much knowledge, which can be used to inform future partnering efforts.

Tami Sullivan (Yale University School of Medicine) and Bonnie Fisher (University of Cincinnati) have been funded by the National Institute of Justice to document and synthesize lessons learned from VAW researcher-practitioner partnerships within the criminal justice system to promote building and enhancing future partnerships.

As a practitioner or researcher who is partnering or has partnered regarding VAW research, you have valuable information to share! We invite you to participate in a focus group or a one-on-one interview to share your experiences and knowledge in an effort to document the development and sustainability of these types of partnerships within the criminal justice system. Your input is extremely valuable and we will compensate you for your time.

We anticipate that your involvement will require participation in a 60-minute focus group or personal interview; focus groups will be audio-taped and interviews will be video-taped. You will be remunerated for your time in accordance with NIJ guidelines.

Focus groups and interviews will be held onsite at the Sheraton Centre Toronto. Focus groups will be held in the Club Boardroom on: Wednesday, 3:30-4:45 pm; Thursday 2:00-3:15 pm; and Friday 3:30-4:45 pm. Interviews will be held onsite and individually scheduled. To be considered as a participant in the focus group or as an interviewee, please send an e-mail to preventsv@gmail.com by Monday, February 21st.
