The National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), awarded a $270,000 Project Grant (CFDA 93.136 - Injury Prevention and Control Research and State and Community Based Programs) to Valorus, doing business as the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault (CCASA), a non-profit organization. This 4-year grant, awarded on June 30, 2024, will support Valorus in enhancing the capacity of state sexual assault coalitions to conduct sexual violence prevention efforts. Specifically, Valorus will provide training, technical assistance, coordination, and direct services related to sexual assault prevention and intervention to a range of stakeholders, including victim services organizations, criminal/civil justice systems, and community partners. The project aims to build the capacity of these entities to address sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking through evidence-based strategies and a focus on promoting health equity.
