The University of Illinois was awarded a $199,994 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program to conduct research on ethics in violence research. Specifically, the university will investigate the impacts on participants and staff of participating in research about violence, with the goal of informing ethical decision-making. Key products include a best practices handbook combining data and practical suggestions to minimize harm and maximize benefits for participants in political violence research. The university will also build a network of scholars and practitioners, and develop a training module for graduate students on ethical considerations in this area of research. Findings will be used to create recommended practices guidance related to ethics in violence research. The project aims to generate evidence on potential harms, benefits and regrets of participating in such research, and develop new guidance for researchers across disciplines.
