The University of Massachusetts Lowell, through a cooperative agreement with the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), is seeking applications from Ph.D. (or equivalent advanced degree) faculty to develop, implement, and assess college and university course materials designed to integrate crime victims' issues into an undergraduate or graduate level course. Grant funds will be used to increase the number and diversity of students exposed to and educated in crime victims' issues, and to improve college- and university-educated adults' understanding of, and response to, crime victims they encounter in their communities and in the workplace. Although this solicitation focuses on business and law school courses, applications to develop materials for other courses or victim-oriented internships are invited.
Two subrecipient grants of up to $5,000 each will be awarded for the 6-month period from October 1, 2010 to March 31, 2011.
