Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 2010 grant opportunity titled "Building and Enhancing Criminal Justice Researcher Practitioner Partnerships" was a discretionary grant program designed to strengthen real working relationships between researchers and people doing criminal justice work on the ground, and to document those collaborations in a detailed, practical way. NIJ noted that partnerships between researchers and practitioners often get encouraged as a supporting feature in many research solicitations, but this particular announcement made the partnership itself a central focus. The intent was not only to fund projects that rely on collaboration, but to support activities that capture how these collaborations actually form, operate, and produce useful results, so that the field can learn what makes partnerships effective and sustainable.
At its core, the opportunity aimed to create, enhance, and sustain researcher-practitioner partnerships that would lead to better criminal justice policy, better day-to-day practice, and stronger research. NIJ was looking for efforts that build on existing collaboration experience and also generate usable accounts of what partnership work looks like in practice, including the challenges, the processes for aligning research questions with operational realities, and the ways partners share decision-making and translate findings into action. The broader public value NIJ emphasized was improving outcomes by making research more responsive to practitioner needs and making practitioner decision-making more evidence-informed.
NIJ defined "practitioners" broadly to include people working in public, private, or community-based agencies connected to law enforcement and corrections, including parole, probation, and offender reentry, as well as those working in the criminal court system and in crime victim services. In the same way, "practice-based organizations or agencies" were defined as public, private, or community-based criminal justice agencies. This definition signaled that NIJ wanted partnerships that reflect the full ecosystem of criminal justice and victim services, not just traditional police or prison settings, and that it recognized credible practice settings exist beyond government agencies alone.
Administratively, this was a research and evaluation funding opportunity (CFDA 16.560, National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ anticipated making 2 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000. The listing did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0 in the source data), which typically means applicants needed to refer to the full solicitation document for any budget guidance or expectations. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which lowered a common barrier to participation, particularly for smaller agencies or organizations.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any clarifications in the solicitation. The opportunity was posted on February 2, 2010, created on February 3, 2010, and had an application closing date of April 2, 2010. It was archived on September 30, 2010. Applicants needing help accessing the announcement were directed to NIJ contacts including Katharine Browning, Bethany Backes, Laurie Bright, and Cathy Girouard, with phone numbers provided, and agency point-of-contact email addresses referenced.
In practical terms, the solicitation was about strengthening the bridge between research and operations: helping partnerships get established where they do not exist, supporting existing partnerships so they can mature and last, and producing detailed accounts of collaboration that others can learn from. The overall theme was that strong partnerships are not incidental to good criminal justice research and policy, but a key ingredient, and NIJ wanted to invest specifically in understanding and building that ingredient.
