This U.S. Nicaragua award will support a planning visit to Nicaragua to be held in Managua, May 20-30, 2007. Dr. Shelly Grabe of the University of Wisconsin, Madison, will meet with Dr. Alejandro Martinez-Cuenca of the International Foundation for the Global Economic Challenge in Managua, Nicaragua to lay the groundwork for developing a full NSF proposal on the role of land tenure in the prevention of domestic violence among women. The planning visit will include two scientists from the University of Wisconsin, the research director of the Wisconsin Coordinating Council on Nicaragua (WCCN), and an undergraduate student who will be conducting an internship at WCCN. Domestic violence is recognized internationally as a serious public health problem with grave implications for the well-being of women. Several international institutions have committed their agendas and resources to drawing more attention to the prevalence and consequences of violence against women. The proposed research is a theoretically focused empirical investigation aimed at improving the understanding of the social process of violence against women by examining whether systematic differences in land rights between men and women create structural inequalities that contribute to the alarmingly high rates of domestic violence among women in Latin America. The theories and methodologies put forth by U.S. social and behavioral sciences are well-positioned to permit high-quality scientific research in the exact areas of which international bodies are calling for the elimination of discrimination against women. This planning visit will bring together researchers from the U.S. and Nicaragua with overlapping research interests and complementary skills to fine-tune a project aimed at investigating violence among women.

这项美国尼加拉瓜奖将支持2007年5月20日至30日在马那瓜举行的尼加拉瓜计划访问。威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的Shelly Grabe博士将在尼加拉瓜马那瓜会见全球经济挑战国际基金会的Alejandro Martinez-Cuenca博士，为制定一项关于土地保有权在防止妇女家庭暴力中的作用的全面NSF提案奠定基础。计划中的访问将包括来自威斯康星大学的两名科学家，威斯康星州尼加拉瓜协调委员会(WCCN)的研究主任，以及将在WCCN进行实习的一名本科生。家庭暴力在国际上被认为是一个严重的公共卫生问题，严重影响妇女的福祉。几个国际机构已承诺将其议程和资源用于提请人们更多地注意暴力侵害妇女行为的盛行及其后果。拟议的研究是一项侧重于理论的经验性调查，旨在通过审查男女土地权方面的系统性差异是否造成结构性不平等，从而提高对暴力侵害妇女行为的社会过程的了解，从而导致拉丁美洲妇女家庭暴力发生率高得令人震惊。美国社会科学和行为科学提出的理论和方法非常适合在国际机构呼吁消除对妇女歧视的领域进行高质量的科学研究。这次计划访问将汇集来自美国和尼加拉瓜的研究人员，他们有重叠的研究兴趣和互补的技能，以微调一个旨在调查妇女暴力行为的项目。
