Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 13 Applied Technology Research and Development for Criminal Justice Purposes grant (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3441) is a discretionary National Institute of Justice funding opportunity focused on turning practical, applied research and development into technology that can actually be used in day to day criminal justice settings. The goal is not basic science or purely exploratory work, but applied technology R and D that leads to improved tools and systems that can be introduced into practice by law enforcement agencies, courts, and corrections organizations. NIJ signals a strong interest in proposals that move beyond concept papers and instead lay out a credible pathway from development through testing and validation toward real operational use.
NIJ highlights two priority areas. First, it is especially interested in expert systems and related decision support technologies designed to boost the performance of non expert practitioners. In practice, that could include software or integrated systems that capture specialized knowledge, guide users through complex tasks, reduce errors, and help standardize decisions or procedures when highly trained experts are not available. The second emphasized area is improved devices for locating and tracking offenders who are supervised in the community, reflecting a need for better capability, reliability, and usability in community supervision contexts. While these are the stated priorities, NIJ also leaves the door open for other applied technology proposals, as long as the applicant can demonstrate that the technology addresses a high priority operational need for law enforcement, courts, or corrections. In other words, applicants are not strictly limited to the two highlighted topics, but they need a strong justification that their work meets a clear, demonstrated field need and has a realistic adoption pathway.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates NIJ expects to have substantial involvement during the period of performance compared with a standard grant. The total estimated funding available is 1,000,000, and NIJ anticipates making about two awards. The listed award ceiling is 1,000,000, with an award floor of 1, meaning NIJ is allowing a wide range of budget sizes, though the practical constraint is the total funding available and the expected number of awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers the barrier for applicants who may not have non federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility is broadly open, described as unrestricted, with the standard NIJ statutory and policy constraints. NIJ indicates it is authorized to make awards to states and territories, local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofit and for profit organizations, institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), federally funded research and development centers, and certain qualified individuals. For profit entities may apply but must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is an important condition for budgeting and indirect cost planning. Foreign governments, foreign organizations, and foreign institutions of higher education are not eligible to apply. NIJ also notes it may choose to make awards for applications submitted under this solicitation in future fiscal years, depending on application merit and the availability of appropriations, which is essentially a reminder that strong proposals could potentially be considered later if funding permits.
Key dates for this opportunity are centered in early 2013. The opportunity was posted and created on January 25, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 25, 2013. The archive date is September 30, 2013. The CFDA number associated with the program is 16.560, National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The administering agency is the National Institute of Justice.
