Sarah Goodrum, Violence Prevention Project awarded major grant to improve CU system safety

The Prevention Science Program out of the Institute of Behavioral Science at CU Boulder, along with the university’s Police Department, were awarded a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Justice last month. The grant will expand their efforts to prevent hate crimes across the CU system.

“I am thrilled to continue to partner with CUPD on this important work, and we’re excited about having the opportunity to partner with the other campuses in the CU system on violence prevention and bystander reporting, specifically to address bias-motivated incidents and crimes.”

Sarah Goodrum, IBS fellow and research professor in the Prevention Science Program.

Goodrum sat down with CU Boulder Today to discuss the Violence Prevention Project and its impact.
