Abstract: The proposed formative research activities are a key preliminary step in developing a leadership curriculum that will help USAFA produce leaders of character who will contribute to a culture of civility as they become officers in the USAF. Specifically, the results will be used by the DAF to inform evidence-based recommendations for modifications that might enhance future leadership preparedness to prevent and respond to sexual assault within the units they will command. Some of the findings from this work may also be used to enhance leadership training across services. This study supports the DoD Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office’s mission (and that of the Headquarters AF Integrated Resilience Office) to work toward an Air Force culture that is free of sexual violence, as well as the completion of USAFA SAPR’s DoD Junior Leader Working Group POAMs. Ultimately, the implementation of the adapted curriculum may result in a reduced number of sexual assaults and enhanced psychological health and well-being among Airmen, enabling them to remain fit for duty.

Emergency Justfication: This collaborative research effort, led by the University of Florida, has been contracted by the Congressionally Directed & Military Operational Medical Research Programs to conduct formative research to assess emerging leadership training needs, specific to sexual assault prevention and response, under the DoD Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury Research Program: Prevention Research to Reduce Sexual Assault (W81XWH2020014 Project Number 190035). As part of this work, the University of Florida, in collaboration with RTI International and the Department of the Air Force (DAF), is conducting interviews with USAF Academy (USAFA) graduates, currently enrolled as Captains in Squadron Officer School at Maxwell Air Force Base. The primary goal of this formative research is to examine perceptions of the current USAFA leadership, perceived readiness for duty upon graduation, and opportunities for enhancement across the four-year USAFA curriculum.
