Subject:Question about Funding Sources

Hello! I'm new to this Listserv and quite happy to join it. I'm wondering if someone can help me identify a funding source I can apply for. I am in the middle of a very large research project on a community response to child maltreatment in a calendar year. I have collected all of my data at this point from three different community agencies including a Child Advocacy Center (n=940+ cases), a county Child Protective Services agency (n=2500+ cases), and a county District Attorney's office (n=700+ cases), all for the same year. All of these data are in separate data sets for each agency. There are some questions that I can answer by looking at the data from each agency separately. However, I'm looking to identify a funding source that can help fund the data merging and analyses for questions that relate to how these agencies work together in response to child maltreatment. I recently retired as a Professor at a university and had access to a grants and awards office. The grants office at Liberty House (a Child Advocacy Center where I still work part-time) does not have the same resources. Does anyone have any suggestions for possible funding sources? I'd appreciate any help or guidance folks can provide. Thanks much, Meredy Meredy Goldberg Edelson, PhD Forensic Interviewer Licensed Psychologist Liberty House 2685 4th St. NE Salem, OR 97301 (503) 540-0288 mgoldbergedelson@libertyhousecenter.org LibertyHouseCenter.org
