This case study highlights the academic-nonprofit practice partnership between one social work faculty researcher and the executive director of a local domestic violence shelter. Initiated by the academic researcher in 2017, the resultant research project has informed the local domestic violence shelter's plan of services, supported funding requests for both current and new services, and provided the academic partner with an additional potential statewide research project partner. Research outcomes to date include a detailed report to the shelter board of directors, a statewide research presentation, and a local poster presentation. This case study discusses the process of developing the collaborative partnership and the lessons learned.
