To honor the decades long collaborations of John Jarvis, Harold Jay Corzine, and Lin Huff-Corzine, as well as their roles as original members of the Homicide Research Working Group, the membership has established a research-practitioner partnership paper award for an outstanding scholarly paper in the field of homicide or lethal violence that demonstrates the importance of the researcher-practitioner partnership.

The Homicide Research Working Group (HRWG) is dedicated to creating and maintaining relationships between researchers and practitioners.

The HRWG membership has established an award for the paper that demonstrates an exemplary Research-Practitioner Partnership.

Award recipients receive a $750 cash award, a year’s membership, and one paid registration to the Annual Meeting & Conference (usually held in June). Award recipients are invited to present their research or project at the Annual Conference. Any travel costs are at the recipient’s expense, although funds may be available to assist with International travel requirements.

One award may be given annually if eligible and a worthy candidate is available and chosen. There is no obligation on the part of the Homicide Research Working Group to issue this award every year.
