Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory (IVRL)

The Interpersonal Violence Research Laboratory (IVRL) partners with communities to prevent sexual and other forms of violence and to support survivor healing and recovery. Our work centers Native American/Indigenous and LGBTQ+ communities and is guided by community leadership, strengths-based approaches, and culturally grounded, research practices. Through these partnerships, we develop and evaluate initiatives that reduce violence, promote safety, and support healing in communities most impacted by interpersonal violence.
