I am honored to have been one of the 36 awardees of an ACLS Project Development Grant. This grant helps me expand my research on military sexual violence to new areas to recruit those who work directly with victims such as victim advocates. I am in awe of the other scholars on this list.
ACLS awards 36 Project Development Grants, the largest cohort in the history of the program: bit.ly/4iPRP4A
