Announces its STAAR Project

The STOP Technical Assistance to Administrators Resource (STAAR) Project is funded by the U.S. Department of Justice’s Office on Violence Against Women to assist recipients of the STOP Formula Grants Program in all U.S. states and territories. The grants distributed from this program are focused on developing and strengthening criminal justice, community-based and health care responses for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking nationwide. 

The STAAR Project offers educational opportunities, peer networking, training, problem-solving strategies, and other responsive supports in collaboration with other national technical assistance providers.
