Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), within the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs, offered a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2016 9032) to support the planning phase of a large, multi-year national research study on interpersonal violence affecting college-aged women and men. The core goal is to lay the groundwork for a nationally representative longitudinal cohort study that can track how risk develops, how victimization occurs, and how individuals recover over time. NIJ emphasized a broad view of interpersonal violence among college-age individuals, including sexual assault and rape, dating violence, stalking, and violence perpetrated by peers or strangers. The intent is not just to measure prevalence at one point in time, but to understand trajectories: how experiences and outcomes unfold over multiple years and across key transitions in young adulthood.
This solicitation funded an initial 24-month planning period under a cooperative agreement, meaning NIJ expected to have substantial involvement in shaping and overseeing the work rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal ongoing federal collaboration. The planning phase was designed as the front-end of a longer effort, anticipating later funding that would support full implementation: recruiting and retaining participants across five data-collection waves over roughly six years. A notable feature is the explicit inclusion of both students attending four-year residential colleges and individuals of the same age who are not enrolled in such institutions. That design choice signals an interest in making findings generalizable to the broader population of college-aged people, not only those living on traditional campuses, and in enabling comparisons between campus and non-campus contexts.
The opportunity listed an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipated making one award. It fell under the Law, Justice and Legal Services activity category (CFDA 16.560). The original and current application deadline was May 6, 2016, and it was posted March 7, 2016. Eligibility was broad and included state, county, and local governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status; individuals; for-profit organizations (including small businesses); and other qualified entities. In practice, the scope and technical demands of building a nationally representative, multi-wave longitudinal cohort typically favor applicants with strong survey methodology capacity, experience with sensitive human-subjects research, and demonstrated ability to plan for long-term participant recruitment and retention.
In summary, this NIJ opportunity was essentially a launchpad for a major national longitudinal study focused on interpersonal violence among college-aged women and men. The funded work in the first two years was meant to design the study in detail and position it for a later multi-wave rollout that could capture long-term patterns of risk, victimization, and recovery across diverse pathways into and through young adulthood, including both traditional college students and their non-residential or non-college peers.
