DEADLINE: TUESDAY January 14th, 8PM
Funded by the President's Office and Dean's Office, the Hoffman Research Grant provides research funding for students or groups of students interested in conducting research with a faculty member on
sexual violence prevention. Grantees will receive a stipend of $750 for each term, up to two terms of research.
We are looking for student research projects that can advance our understanding of sexual assault as it relates to Dartmouth. This grant aims to provide
an avenue for students to make contributions on the prevention of
sexual violence through collaboration with students, faculty and administrators. The
research should aim to find concrete, feasible and constructive policy recommendations for
students, faculty
and/or administrators to reduce sexual violence at Dartmouth.
Example topics:
How effective is the COS Process? What policies and judicial procedures do other peer institutes pursue regarding sexual violence on campus?
How effective are peer advising groups regarding sexual assault?
What are the effects of Bored@Baker on students?
What technology/apps are being used to report sexual violence and increase student safety, and do they work? Might they be useful at Dartmouth?
How effective is the First Responder Training at Dartmouth?
How to apply:
-Identify an area of research or policy related to sexual assault on college campuses, with applicability to Dartmouth.
- Identify and discuss your project with a faculty member/administrator who can guide or assist your research and work out each other's expectations in working together.
- Fill out the attached 1) Application
Form, 2) Research Outline, and 3) Faculty Mentorship Form.
