Dr. Foubert conducts research in several areas with the goal of promoting social change. He is best known for his research in the area of sexual assault prevention. He also conducts research on college student development (psychosocial, moral, and spiritual development) and on the connections between pornography use and violence against women.

In 1998 Dr. Foubert founded the national non-profit organization One in Four. While serving as its President for 10 years, he led its growth to have 30 campus-based chapters and began a nationwide “RV Tour” with four recent college graduates who present the most effective rape prevention program ever evaluated in the research literature.

From 2005-2007 he served as the principal investigator for a $275,000 U.S. Department of Education grant which successfully completed the most comprehensive evaluation study of a rape prevention program ever attempted. This grant project helped produce the only program in history ever shown to lead to a decline in sexual assault among high risk men who saw a program relative to a control group. Dr. Foubert’s work has been featured in the Washington Post, numerous television news programs, and he has been a featured guest on the National Public Radio program, Talk of the Nation. He is a regular keynote speaker and consultant to Universities, the military and state health departments. Dr. Foubert has testified before Congress about how to prevent rape in the military and currently is working with the U.S. Army in Europe to pursue a large-scale implementation of his rape prevention work throughout the Army. Early in his career he was identified by ACPA as an emerging scholar, was the runner up for the NASPA dissertation of the year award, and more recently in 2007 he won the William and Mary President’s Award for Service to the Community.
