Background

    The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is soliciting proposals for

women includes family and intimate partner violence, sexual assault, 
stalking, and violence committed by acquaintances and strangers.
    NIJ anticipates awarding up to 6 grants with a funding total of 
$1,250,000. The duration and the budget for proposed evaluations should 
be justified by factors such as the complexity of the design, the 
number of sites, and the size of the sample.

Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of ``Basic 
Research on Violence Against Women'' (refer to document no. SL000350).
