The Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Initiative invites proposals from IPA and J-PAL affiliated researchers or invited researchers to expand on planned or ongoing randomized trials for the sixth round of the IPV research fund. The purpose of this request for proposals is to leverage existing research studies to advance our understanding of the underlying factors contributing to intimate partner violence and providing insights into what policies and programs can reduce IPV.

With this call for proposals, IPA solicits proposals from researcher teams interested in expanding their existing studies to further investigate this important topic. Proposals are due by 11:59 pm EST on Friday, August 7, 2026.
