Preliminary North Carolina data indicates that the problem is widespread in this state. In a study of N.C. community college women, 17 percent reported being raped, and 4 percent reported being victims.
The total projected funding for this RFA is $142,755. A maximum of 7 projects shall be funded under this RFA. The maximum award for each applicant will be $20,393.
