We sincerely appreciate all the interest that many of you have expressed in attending the conference. Unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with this year’s Futures Without Violence Conference on Health.
About the Conference
The 2025 Futures Without Violence Conference on Health brings together health professionals, advocates, survivors, researchers, and policy makers to share cutting-edge research, and to highlight practice and systems improvements to address domestic and sexual violence.
Our last conference, held virtually in 2021, featured more than 350 speakers from around the globe.
The Conference on Health is planned by the FUTURES National Health Resource Center on Domestic Violence with a multidisciplinary Steering Committee of leaders from across health fields.

The Conference on Health is the only multidisciplinary conference that explicitly addresses the intersections of health, violence, public health, and prevention.

Participants will not only learn about new approaches to addressing violence, but will have ample opportunities to connect with experts across the field.
The 8th biennial Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award
The 8th biennial Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award will recognize an outstanding new investigator with 2-10 years of experience working in the field of gender-based violence. Futures Without Violence, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), RALIANCE, and a committee of experts will select one outstanding individual to receive the Linda Saltzman New Investigator Award for 2025.
Dr. Linda Saltzman worked as the Senior Scientist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Division of Violence Prevention where she initiated numerous studies highlighting the public surveillance and health outcomes of domestic and sexual violence. Through her groundbreaking work, she laid the foundation for uniform definitions of intimate partner violence, data collection and community partnerships among researchers and advocates.
The deadline to submit nominations is Friday, February 21st, 2025.
