The broader/commercial impact of this I-Corps project is the development of a digital solution that would address a long-standing societal problem of Inter-Personal Violence (IPV) that primarily affects women and girls worldwide. Social science research has proven that millions of people do not report and suffer in silence because of the normalizations of violence instilled by the “patriarchal system.” Empowering people, especially women, girls, and sexual minorities to take proactive measures in breaking their silence in ending violence is the primary goal of this digital intervention. The proposed digital technology provides a proactive capability that may have wide cost-saving public benefits as well as commercial prospects in providing rapid IPV prevention solutions to organizations such as the government (especially criminal justice agencies), women’s and faith-based organizations, educational institutions (college and universities), and corporations (companies promoting diversity and resilience). Successful commercialization of such a product would bring this one-stop awareness and empowerment digital platform to the market with the potential to make significant impact on IPV prevention. The technology could improve the lives of millions of women from varied socio-economic strata, delivering tangible economic benefits to communities and corporations across the U.S.This I-Corps project is based on the development of a digital tool that involves unique integration of social science principles in criminal justice and cognitive science with state-of-the-art software engineering technology, data science, and computer science. Prior research suggests that a digital technology-based web application may overcome major challenges in digital privacy, safety, accessibility under low resources environments, and usability in dealing with Inter-Personal Violence (IPV). IPV is a sensitive, personal issue, and its varied ecosystems and archetypes posit unique challenges. The proposed technology is a software product grounded in social science research using mathematical algorithms (e.g., based on data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence) at its core. The focus is on proactively empowering people to understand their personal circumstances from social science research-based evaluations and then providing them with resources to prevent IPV or to better manage an ongoing situation. The product is envisioned as a digital modular platform that would be designed to be usable on all mobile phones and laptops, and bandwidth limited cellular environments. The data analytics built into the software and integrated with artificial intelligence will provide instant feedback to users to help them make informed decisions.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I-Corps项目的更广泛/商业影响是开发数字解决方案，该解决方案将解决长期存在的社会人际暴力问题（IPV），该问题主要影响全球妇女和女童。社会科学研究证明，由于“父权制制度”灌输的暴力正常化，数以百万计的人没有举报和沉默。赋予人们，尤其是妇女，女孩和性少数群体在结束暴力方面的沉默中采取积极措施的能力是这种数字干预的主要目标。拟议的数字技术提供了一种积极主动的能力，可以为政府（尤其是刑事司法机构），妇女和基于信仰的组织，教育机构（大学和大学）以及公司（公司和公司（促进多样性和发育态度）等组织提供快速的IPV预防解决方案，以省省成本广泛以及商业前景。这种产品的成功商业化将使这种一站式意识和授权数字平台进入市场，并有可能对预防IPV产生重大影响。这项技术可以改善来自各种社会经济阶层的数百万妇女的生活，从而为整个美国的社区和公司带来明显的经济利益，该项目基于一种数字工具的开发，该工具涉及犯罪司法和认知科学与先进的软件工程技术，数据科学和计算机科学和计算机科学的独特社会科学原理和认知科学中的独特融合。先前的研究表明，基于数字技术的Web应用程序可能会克服数字隐私，安全性，低资源环境中的可访问性以及处理人际关系暴力（IPV）方面的主要挑战。 IPV是一个敏感，个人问题，其多样化的生态系统和原型积极的独特挑战。拟议的技术是使用数学算法（例如，基于数据挖掘，机器学习和人工智能）以社会科学研究为基础的软件产品。重点是主动赋予人们从基于社会科学的评估中了解自己的个人情况，然后为他们提供资源以防止IPV或更好地管理持续的情况。该产品被设想为一个数字模块化平台，该平台的设计可在所有手机和笔记本电脑上可用，以及带宽有限的蜂窝环境。该软件中内置的数据分析并与人工智能集成在一起，将为用户提供即时反馈，以帮助他们做出明智的决定。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并通过使用基金会的知识分子和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来评估。
