This Partnerships for Innovation-Research Partnerships (PFI-RP) project focuses on addressing the phenomenon of Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). IPV affects all strata of our society irrespective of adult age groups, education, employment, economic status, race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual preferences. It is a multi-faceted- public health, criminal justice, and human rights issue costing billions of dollars of the government’s medical and criminal justice expenditures, especially in the investigation of IPV-related homicides. The project will focus on developing a one-stop awareness and empowerment digital technology platform that would help in breaking the victims' code of silence and help them seek and access appropriate help immediately. This would be instrumental in addressing at-home violence. The target customer segments include government (especially criminal justice agencies, and hospitals), non-government including all service providers (women’s organizations, social service agencies, medical clinics, faith-based organizations), educational institutions, and corporate organizations that are in dire need to prevent IPV. The primary focus will be on the domestic violence service-providing organizations to whom the victims and survivors report and resort to seeking assistance in dealing with the violence at home.The proposed project will use social science-driven action research methodology in designing a digital tool to address Intimate Partner Violence, an important societal challenge that is significantly exacerbated by the recent pandemic. Such a tool must ensure privacy, safety, and security to meet user needs and to help IPV victims or individuals at risk even in a modest way to reshape their lives in a positive direction. This is thus an effort to lend technology's power to human development. IPV is also a sensitive personal issue, and its varied ecosystems and archetypes pose unique technical challenges for this project such as digital privacy, safety, accessibility under low resources environments, and usability. The research objectives are to develop a victim-centered, culturally sensitive digital tool for IPV prevention that meets the above technical challenges. This is compounded by the social and behavioral science challenge of helping IPV victims to step forward to deal with the situation before it spirals out of control. This may involve IPV education, empowerment, and assessment of risks associated with self-advocacy goals. It is thus a multidisciplinary task. Breaking this so-called wall of silence with a science-integrated digital tool is the core innovation underpinning this project.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.

这种用于创新研究合作伙伴关系的合作伙伴关系（PFI-RP）项目着重于解决亲密伴侣暴力现象（IPV）。 IPV影响我们社会的所有阶层，无论成人年龄段，教育，就业，经济地位，种族，种族，性别和性偏好。这是一个多方面的公共卫生，刑事司法和人权问题，耗资数十亿美元的政府医疗和刑事司法支出，尤其是在IPV相关凶杀案的投资方面。该项目将着重于开发一站式意识和授权数字技术平台，该平台将有助于打破违规行为的沉默守则，并帮助他们立即寻求和获得适当的帮助。这将有助于解决家庭暴力。目标客户领域包括政府（尤其是刑事司法机构和医院），包括所有服务提供商（妇女组织，社会服务机构，医疗诊所，基于信仰的组织），教育机构和公司组织，包括所有服务提供者，以及直接需要预防IPV。主要的重点将放在受害者和生存的家庭暴力组织上，并诉诸于寻求帮助处理家庭暴力行为时寻求帮助。拟议的项目将使用社会科学驱动的行动研究方法来设计一种数字工具来解决亲密的伴侣暴力，这一重要的社会挑战极大地被最近的大流行病所激发。这样的工具必须确保隐私，安全性和安全性，以满足用户需求，并帮助IPV受害者或个人以适度的方式重塑其生命以积极的方式重塑其生命。因此，这是为了将技术的力量赋予人类发展。 IPV也是一个敏感的个人问题，其多样化的生态系统和原型对该项目构成了独特的技术挑战，例如数字隐私，安全性，低资源环境下的可访问性以及可用性。研究目标是开发以受害者为中心的文化敏感数字工具，用于预防IPV，以应对上述技术挑战。社会和行为科学挑战是帮助IPV受害者向前迈进，以解决这种情况，这使情况更加复杂。可能涉及IPV教育，授权和评估与自我倡导目标相关的风险。因此，这是一项多学科任务。通过科学融合的数字工具打破所谓的沉默墙是该项目的核心创新。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优点和更广泛的影响评估标准来评估，被认为是珍贵的支持。
