Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) issued this discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2622) to fund a comprehensive research and evaluation effort focused on the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Drug Market Intervention (DMI) Training and Technical Assistance Initiative. The central purpose is to support a multi-year, multi-site evaluation that examines how DMI training and technical assistance are delivered and how the DMI model is implemented across a set of participating jurisdictions. In practical terms, NIJ is looking for an evaluator (or evaluators) that can study not just whether DMI appears to work, but also how it is put into practice, what the participating sites actually do with the training and technical assistance they receive, and what outcomes and impacts are associated with that work over time.
The opportunity is built around the fact that BJA will be providing training and technical assistance to 12 sites within the United States that are implementing, or preparing to implement, the DMI approach. NIJ is specifically soliciting applications that can conduct a rigorous evaluation across these multiple locations and over multiple years. The solicitation emphasizes three interconnected evaluation dimensions. First is process evaluation, which typically documents implementation steps, local adaptations, fidelity to the model, training and technical assistance activities, partnership functioning, and operational challenges. Second is outcome evaluation, which generally measures nearer-term and mid-term changes that may plausibly result from implementation, such as enforcement patterns, community engagement, problem-solving activity, perceived legitimacy, or shifts in street-level market dynamics. Third is impact evaluation, which aims to assess broader effects that could be attributed to the DMI initiative, often including crime and violence measures, drug market activity indicators, and other public safety or community wellbeing outcomes, ideally using strong quasi-experimental or experimental logic where feasible in real-world settings.
NIJ structured this as a research and evaluation award rather than an implementation grant. The activity category is listed as "Other" with the clarification that the relevant category explanation is research and evaluation, signaling that the funded work is expected to produce credible evidence and usable findings for practitioners and policymakers. The funding instrument type is a grant, and NIJ anticipated making up to two awards. The posting date and creation date were both March 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 28, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. The solicitation shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to commit non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning NIJ opened the competition broadly to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details contained in the full solicitation document. That typically allows participation from universities, research organizations, nonprofits, private firms, and potentially state or local agencies, provided they can meet federal grant requirements and demonstrate the capacity to conduct a sophisticated, multi-site evaluation. The award ceiling and floor are listed as 0 in the summary fields, which generally indicates that applicants needed to consult the solicitation document for actual budget expectations and constraints rather than relying on those summary fields.
From an applicant standpoint, NIJ was effectively asking for a research team capable of managing a complex evaluation portfolio: coordinating data collection across 12 jurisdictions, documenting training and technical assistance delivery, tracking implementation milestones and adaptations, and assembling credible comparison strategies and analytic plans to estimate outcomes and impacts. Because the initiative spans multiple sites and multiple years, the work would likely involve standardized cross-site measures combined with site-specific qualitative and quantitative data, longitudinal tracking, and careful attention to implementation variability. A strong proposal under a solicitation like this would typically lay out clear research questions, a logic model connecting DMI training and technical assistance to expected changes, detailed methods for process documentation, and robust analytic strategies for measuring changes in outcomes over time and across places, while also addressing data access, human subjects protections, and collaboration with BJA, training and technical assistance providers, and local stakeholders.
For support, NIJ provided a point of contact for solicitation requirements: Louis Tuthill, Social Science Analyst, reachable at 202 307 1015. The announcement also notes that applicants who have trouble accessing the full announcement electronically should use the provided assistance channel, and it references an additional information link that would direct interested parties to the complete solicitation document where the detailed requirements, deliverables, and application instructions are specified.
