Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault
The mission of the Institute on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault (IDVSA) is to advance the knowledge base related to domestic violence and sexual assault in an effort to end violence. IDVSA accomplishes this through supporting research on domestic violence and sexual assault and by providing training, technical assistance, and information dissemination to the practitioner community and the community at large. It is the vision of IDVSA that its multi-disciplinary, researcher-practitioner, collaborative approach will enhance the quality and relevance of research efforts and their application in service provision.
The IDVSA is made possible through grants from the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health, the RGK Foundation, the Shield-Ayres Foundation, and Dean Barbara White of the University of Texas School of Social Work.
