NIJ FY 2022 Invited to Apply - Criminal Justice Requirements and Resources Consortium
The purpose of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program is to encourage and support research, development, and evaluation to improve criminal justice policy and practice in the United States.
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals to identify and assess the highest priority needs of criminal justice communities in order to enhance innovative criminal justice research and inform practitioners, policymakers, industry providers, and federal agencies, as well as NIJ, of those needs and their potential solutions.
Innovation also comes from within these criminal justice agencies, therefore NIJ is looking to continue supporting programs such as Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS), an NIJ program designed to increase the in-house research capabilities of law enforcement officers and agencies.
Statutory Authority:
Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (sections 201 and 202); the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (sections 231-233, 235); and 28 U.S.C.
