For the first time, a competitive Request for Proposals was issued for FY 2009 (November 1, 2008-October 31, 2009). The following entities were awarded funding:
The Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault received funding to provide statewide training and technical assistance to professionals working in sexual violence primary prevention, to conduct a statewide anti-sexual violence social marketing campaign, and to provide assistance to professionals working with individuals with disabilities and males. INCASA will also award sub-grants to the following community programs to execute evidence-informed strategies for sexual violence primary prevention:
