NIJ FY 10 Weapons and Protective Systems Technology Center of Excellence | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIJ FY 10 Weapons and Protective Systems Technology Center of Excellence grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010-2418) is a discretionary National Institute of Justice solicitation to select an organization to operate the Weapons and Protective Systems Technology Center of Excellence within the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC) System. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that NIJ expects substantial federal involvement in guiding or collaborating on the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving periodic reports. The overall purpose is to strengthen NIJ's research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDTE) pipeline for weapons and protective systems by placing a capable technical center in a role that can consistently support NIJ projects and the broader criminal justice community.

At its core, the Center is intended to provide scientific and technical support to NIJ's research and development efforts in the relevant technology areas, with an emphasis on moving useful technology from concept to real-world use. That includes helping NIJ and its partners demonstrate promising technologies, accelerate their transfer into practice, and support adoption by end users such as law enforcement and corrections agencies, courts, and public crime laboratories. The opportunity also highlights the Center's expected role in the development and dissemination of technology guidelines and standards, suggesting work that connects laboratory results and field realities into practical guidance that agencies can rely on when selecting, deploying, and maintaining equipment. In addition, the Center is expected to provide technology assistance, information, and support to law enforcement and other appropriate criminal justice agencies, functioning as a technical resource that can help translate research findings into operational decisions and safer, more effective practices.

Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is open to a wide range of entity types (subject to any additional clarifications that may appear in the full solicitation). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The funding listing does not specify an award floor or ceiling in the summary fields (both are shown as 0), which typically means applicants need to consult the full solicitation for anticipated funding levels, period of performance, and the expected scope and staffing for the Center.

Applications were required to be submitted electronically through the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) Grants Management System (GMS), a web-based platform used for application submission and grant lifecycle management. Applicants were advised to start registration early, particularly first-time users, to avoid missing deadlines due to account setup or system access issues. The original and current closing date for this FY 2010 opportunity was April 19, 2010 (it was posted March 3, 2010 and later archived July 19, 2010). For technical problems with submission, applicants were directed to contact the GMS Help Desk (GMSHelpDesk@usdoj.gov or 1-888-549-9901, option 3, with support hours Monday through Friday, 6:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern, excluding federal holidays). For solicitation-specific questions, the program contact listed was Brian Montgomery, Physical Scientist at NIJ (202-353-9786, brian.montgomery@usdoj.gov).
