Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) FY 13 Building and Enhancing Criminal Justice Researcher Practitioner Partnerships grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3468) is a discretionary research and evaluation funding announcement aimed at strengthening the working relationship between criminal justice researchers and on-the-ground practitioners. The core idea is that proposed research or evaluation projects must include a meaningful researcher-practitioner partnership, either by forming a new collaboration or by building on an existing one. NIJ is looking for projects where the partnership is not just a side feature, but an integral part of how the work is designed, carried out, and translated into usable results.
The program is intended to support studies and evaluations that produce actionable findings that can improve criminal justice policy, day-to-day practice, and the broader evidence base. A central expectation is that the work should benefit the practitioner partner directly, for example by helping an agency assess a program, refine operational strategies, improve implementation, or make more informed decisions using data and research methods. In practical terms, NIJ is emphasizing research that is grounded in real operational needs and that has a clear pathway for translating results into improvements within agencies and systems.
NIJ organized this opportunity into two distinct program areas, and applicants were expected to align their proposal with one of them. The first area is the Junior Faculty Grant Program to Promote Criminal Justice Researcher Practitioner Partnerships, which focuses on supporting junior or early-career academics as they develop research agendas in collaboration with criminal justice agencies or practitioner organizations. The goal here is partly capacity-building: helping newer scholars gain experience conducting applied criminal justice research in partnership with practitioners, while also producing credible findings that are useful to the field. The second area is the Criminal Justice Researcher Practitioner Fellowship Placement Program, which supports fellowship-style placements intended to deepen collaboration by embedding or closely pairing researchers and practitioners. This model is meant to accelerate knowledge exchange, strengthen mutual understanding, and create partnerships that are more durable than a single short-term project.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity was offered as a grant under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ anticipated making about five awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The solicitation was posted March 5, 2013, and the application closing date was May 31, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on July 31, 2013. The listing shows award ceiling and floor values as 0, which typically signals that specific dollar amounts were defined in the full solicitation document rather than in the summary fields.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to different types of applicant entities, subject to any additional clarifications in the full announcement. Applicants needing help with electronic submission were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800 518 4726 or 606 545 5035) or support@grants.gov, with support available 24/7 except federal holidays. For programmatic or solicitation-specific questions, NIJ provided points of contact: Bethany Backes (Bethany.Backes@usdoj.gov, 202 305 4419) and Katharine Browning (Katharine.Browning@usdoj.gov, 202 616 4786). Overall, the opportunity is best understood as NIJ using research funding to push for stronger, more practical collaborations that can generate evidence that agencies can actually use, while also improving the quality and relevance of criminal justice research.
