The Intimate Partner Violence Center for Implementation, Research, and Evaluation (IPV-CIRE)

Welcome to the Intimate Partner Violence Center for Implementation, Research, and Evaluation (IPV-CIRE). The goal of the IPV-CIRE is to develop, disseminate, implement, and evaluate innovative, high-quality, Veteran-centered, trauma-informed, and recovery-oriented practices for intimate partner violence (IPV) detection, prevention, and treatment.

The Intimate Partner Violence Center for Implementation, Research, and Evaluation (IPV-CIRE) is an Innovation Hub established in November 2020 within the Veterans Affairs (VA) National IPV Assistance Program (IPVAP). The IPV-CIRE is comprised of three Cores:

1. Innovation and Implementation Core: focused on developing innovative IPV practices and strengthening current programming through program development and implementation; and provision of training, consultation, and external facilitation to support large-scale implementation of best practices for IPV
2. Research Core: focused on informing IPV practice and policy by conducting translational research and determining factors for successful implementation of IPV innovations.
3. Evaluation Core: focused on developing and executing a highly partnered, systematic, multi-phase program evaluation of the VA National IPV Assistance Program (IPVAP).

The IPV-CIRE is the first of its kind at any VA Medical Center.
