Find a Partner

Find a Partner

The first step in collaboration is finding a partner to work with. Whether you’re new to the victim services field or just starting to think about research and evaluation, the Center for Victim Research is here to support your search.

Directory of Victim Researchers

CVR has gathered information from victim researchers across the country who would love to connect with service providers to share their research expertise. Search our directory to find an academic or evaluation partner near you.

About the Directory

CVR welcomes researchers of all levels to join our directory of researchers. Researchers that would like to be included in our directory are invited to register.

CVR provides this directory as a public service and does not endorse any individual researcher.
