With this solicitation, NIJ, in collaboration with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), seeks proposals for funding to conduct an expansion or extension of one or more ongoing/existing longitudinal research studies that focus on delinquency and crime throughout the life-course.

Longitudinal studies support interdisciplinary research on the emergence, persistence, and desistance of delinquency and criminal offending.

This research will inform the design of more effective strategies for prevention and intervention in delinquent and criminal behavioral trajectories.

This program furthers DOJ’s mission to uphold the rule of law, to keep our country safe, and to protect civil rights.
