How can the Crime and Justice Research Program FY 2007 help your Law Enforcement department?

  • Support the social and behavioral research or evaluation of crime and justice topics related to State and/or local criminal and juvenile justice policy and practice
  • No matching funds requirement. Offering an optional match can be advantageous because the NIJ has limited funds, and a match can help defray the costs of more expensive projects. However, in all cases the quality of the proposal is more important.
  • Up to $2,000,000 in total award funds is anticipated, with individual grant awards potentially ranging $100,000 to $400,000
  • CHIEF offers the free services of grant consultants to assist you throughout the application process **

What is it?

The purpose of this program is to support the social and behavioral research or evaluation of crime and justice topics related to State and/or local criminal and juvenile justice policy and practice. Although this is an "open" solicitation, NIJ is seeking projects addressing one of the following topics:

  • Best Practices in Cold Case Investigations
  • Community Corrections
  • Elder Abuse
  • Forensics Policy
  • Policing and Public Safety
  • Prison Rape Elimination Act
  • Sex Offenders and Offenses
  • Sexual Violence
  • Technology Evaluation

Priority will be given to projects proposing randomized experimental designs, regression discontinuity, propensity scores, or other enhanced quasi-experimental designs that maximize the validity and reliability of research results.

Per the program officer, $2 million was available for FY 2006. Approximately 15 percent of the applications submitted received awards. This year, the funding agency anticipates making between 10 to 20 awards. Per the program officer, matching funds are not required, although investing some of the applicant's own resources may be beneficial in the review process. This is particularly helpful with applications from government agencies or nonprofit organizations. The reviewers may consider the applicant's contribution to indicate that the applicant cares enough about the project to put their own funds into it.

Less than 10 awards were made through this program in FY 2005.
