Abstract

Millions of dollars in grants are awarded annually through the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). This study examined the impact of the funding structure on program implementation, both for current program periods and over time. A dual-methods survey was sent to recipients of 2018 grants for three programs to identify any modifications made to the planned programs due the project period length and potentially unreliable funding. Anticipated results are that grant recipients with the shortest project periods will be more likely to have made program modifications due to project length, and organizations that have received VAWA grants over multiple years will be more likely to have considered seeking alternate sources of funding recently due to increased funding instability.
