Many profound crises faced by our society are tied to aggression and violent behavior (AVB) including, but not limited to, bullying, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment terrorism and mass shootings. The impact of aggression and violent behavior is felt across different contexts (e.g., in homes, at workplaces, and in physical and online communities) and amidst various daily activities. This award supports planning for a center to address negative impacts of aggression and violent behavior via interdisciplinary research. Specifically, the planned center has two primary goals: (1) integrate AVB knowledge from multiple perspectives, and (2) translate that knowledge base into meaningful interventions that reduce AVB in society. This project synthesizes institutional, disciplinary, and contextual knowledge from a range of perspectives including academic researchers, non-profit foundations, not-for-profit organizations, private sector representatives, government leaders, and the public. This knowledge provides insight into the potential catalysts for, and effects of AVB. The project investigates under what circumstances individuals are risk of becoming a victim to AVB and situations that are more or less likely to spark AVB. This science-based approach to understanding aggression and violent behavior enables the development of timely, relevant, and impactful interventions for the people and groups who most need it.This project develops a taxonomy of intervention models for the reduction of aggression and violent behavior. External interviews with network partners, including educators, administrators, policy-makers, non-profit volunteer organizations, and law enforcement agencies are used to identify connections between AVB and critical societal concerns. Research activities are informed by engagement with external partners so that science production informs practical applications. Throughout each of these developmental steps there is an emphasis on the manifestations of AVB across different contexts (e.g., family, school, and workplace), timeframes (e.g., short, such as minutes, to long, such as months), and levels of analysis (e.g., event, individual, group, and society). This integration is bolstered by the inclusion of disparate methodological approaches including the usage of wearable sensors, geographical modeling and computational modeling. The research project closes the gap between science and practice by focusing research plans on issues and topics informed by deep community engagement with partners from diverse segments of society.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.

我们社会面临的许多深刻的危机与侵略和暴力行为（AVB）有关，包括但不限于欺凌，亲密的伴侣暴力，性骚扰恐怖主义和大规模枪击事件。侵略和暴力行为的影响在不同的情况下（例如，在家庭，工作场所，物理和在线社区中）以及在各种日常活动中都感受到。该奖项支持计划通过跨学科研究来解决侵略和暴力行为的负面影响。具体而言，计划中的中心有两个主要目标：（1）从多个角度整合AVB知识，（2）将知识基础转化为有意义的干预措施，以减少社会中的AVB。该项目从包括学术研究人员，非营利基金会，非营利组织，私营部门代表，政府领导人和公众在内的一系列角度综合了机构，纪律和上下文知识。这些知识为AVB的潜在催化剂和影响提供了深入的了解。该项目在什么情况下调查了个人有可能成为AVB受害者的风险和或多或少有可能引发AVB的情况。这种基于科学的理解侵略和暴力行为的方法可以为最需要它的人们和群体及时，相关和有影响力的干预措施发展。该项目开发了一种干预模型的分类法，以减少侵略性和暴力行为。与网络合作伙伴的外部访谈，包括教育者，管理人员，政策制定者，非营利性志愿组织以及执法机构，用于确定AVB与关键社会问题之间的联系。研究活动是通过与外部合作伙伴的互动来告知的，因此科学生产为实际应用提供了信息。在这些发展步骤中，每一个都集中在不同情况下（例如，家庭，学校和工作场所），时间表（例如，短，诸如几分钟，长达几个月）和分析水平（例如，事件，个人，团体和社会）。包括使用可穿戴传感器，地理建模和计算建模的不同方法学方法的包含来支持这种整合。该研究项目通过将研究计划重点放在社区与社会各个部门的合作伙伴中所告知的问题和主题上，从而缩小了科学与实践之间的差距。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响标准的评估来通过评估来支持的。
