项目摘要

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Partnerships for Innovation – Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) project addresses a significant societal and public health problem: school violence. Annually, there are over 4.3 million school violence offenses resulting in $400 million in direct costs and $94 million in health care costs from student injuries. When unaddressed, school violence, including bullying, hazing, sexual harassment, and dating violence, impacts victims’ health and safety. The societal value of our proposed innovation is a comprehensive and easy-to-adopt system that reduces present and future risk to students, reassures parents that schools are working to protect students, and reduces schools’ risk and liability. The innovative system will be a licensable. dynamic, real-time, interactive, customizable tool deployed via mobile app technology. It will provide new, evidence-based and age-specific educational content and prevention strategies for high school students, delivered in a format that facilitates end-user adoption and engagement. The target market segment for the proposed innovation is the 35,000 US public and private high schools. The initial customers are school administrators, followed by community organizations and parents.The proposed project addresses the need for an integrated, comprehensive system to reduce school violence and teach high school students to respond safely to the spectrum of school violence including bullying, harassment and assault. The mobile app and accompanying administrator dashboard represent the novel union of technology, prevention science, and adolescent development science. This project will evaluate the impact of the student safety app on school violence incidents, student knowledge of school violence and prevention, student reports of violence, and access to support resources. Additionally, app implementation strategies will be researched and evaluated to optimize student usage. The team will conduct a four-state, 20-school pilot study that includes qualitative focus group data collection with students and school administrators and quantitative survey administration before, during, and following the implementation of the student safety app. The anticipated output is a mobile app-deployed school safety system that integrates comprehensive education, prevention, communication, and response tools. The team's effort represents an innovative combination of gamified research-informed social-emotional educational content, a confidential reporting tool, interactive tools to aid students in risky situations, push notifications to student phones, and streamlined access to school and community resources.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该创新伙伴关系 - 研究伙伴关系 (PFI-RP) 项目具有更广泛的影响/商业潜力，旨在解决一个重大的社会和公共卫生问题：校园暴力。每年，发生超过 430 万起校园暴力犯罪事件，造成的直接成本和损失高达 4 亿美元。学生受伤造成的医疗费用高达 9,400 万美元。如果不加以解决，校园暴力（包括欺凌、欺凌、性骚扰和约会暴力）会影响受害者的健康和安全。我们提出的创新的社会价值是全面且广泛的。易于采用的系统，可降低学生、儿科医生家长的当前和未来风险，让学校致力于保护学生，并降低学校的风险和责任。该创新系统将是一个动态、实时、交互式、可定制的系统。通过移动应用程序技术部署的工具。它将为高中生提供新的、基于证据的、针对特定年龄的教育内容和预防策略，并以促进最终用户采用和参与所提议的创新的目标细分市场。是 35,000 美国最初的客户是学校管理人员，其次是社区组织和家长。拟议的项目解决了对减少校园暴力并教导高中生安全应对各种校园暴力的综合综合系统的需求。该移动应用程序和随附的管理员仪表板代表了技术、预防科学和青少年发展科学的新颖结合。该项目将评估学生安全应用程序对校园暴力事件以及学生对校园暴力的了解的影响。和预防、学生暴力报告以及获得支持资源的机会。该团队将研究和评估策略，以优化学生的使用，包括在实施之前、期间和之后与学生和学校管理人员一起收集定性焦点小组数据以及定量调查管理。学生安全应用程序的预期成果是一个基于移动应用程序的学校安全系统，集成了全面的教育、预防、沟通和响应工具，该团队的努力代表了游戏化研究信息的社交情感教育内容的创新组合。报告工具，该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
