What project FJ2 buys
Research related to the SHARP program provides a better understanding of sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination in the Army, including an improved understanding of vulnerable populations, high-risk locations, and Soldier experiences of SA/SH. Results from this program of research indicate where to target prevention efforts and provide science-informed strategies to reduce/prevent SA/SH/GD. This research challenges stereotypes and ensures the Army can provide tailored prevention and response activities directed at the most prevalent sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination behaviors and scenarios. Research funding is required to ensure that Army SHARP is best positioned to address DoW and Service requirements, including recommendations from OSW's Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the Military aimed at reducing sexual assault and sexual harassment in the military. Conducting research to meet these requirements is a necessary step in developing targeted training, prevention, and response activities and ensuring these activities are having the desired effect and impact on the Total Force.
