Now Accepting Applications for the Crime Victim Needs Assessment Community Advisory Group

​Deadline: August 23, 2019

The Minnesota Statistical Analysis Center (MNSAC) invites community members to join the Crime Victim Needs Assessment Community Advisory Group. We are undertaking a needs assessment to identify 1) populations that currently lack access or have insufficient access to victim services, 2) what additional Victim services are needed throughout the state, and 3) barriers that prevent or limit access to victim services. The advisory group will advise the MNSAC and ensure the research process is equitable, inclusive, transparent, respectful and non-traumatizing to victims. They will review research materials (e.g., surveys, focus group questions), provide input on outreach efforts and provide feedback on findings and written reports. To apply, please click here. The application deadline is August 23, 2019. Applicants will be a notified of decisions mid-September. For more information or for an application in another format, please contact Valerie Clark (Valerie.clark@state.mn.us) or Kris Coulter (Kristine.coulter@state.mn.us)”?
