Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 14 Evaluating the Effectiveness of State, Local, and Tribal Responses to Violence Committed Against Indian Women Living in Tribal Communities grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2014 3728) was a discretionary research and evaluation solicitation issued by the National Institute of Justice. Its central purpose was to fund rigorous evaluations of promising programs or initiatives that are run by state, local, or tribal governments and that aim to respond effectively to violence committed against American Indian and Alaska Native women living in tribal communities. In practical terms, NIJ was looking for proposals that could assess what is working, for whom, and under what conditions when communities and justice systems implement strategies to prevent, investigate, prosecute, or otherwise address violence against Indian women in tribal settings.
The solicitation fell under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants) and was categorized specifically as Research and Evaluation. Rather than supporting direct service expansion as the primary goal, the emphasis was on generating credible evidence about program effectiveness and implementation, with findings that could inform policy and practice across jurisdictions. The overall estimated funding amount was 500,000, with NIJ anticipating up to four awards. The posting date and creation date were both April 15, 2014, and the application deadline was July 3, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on August 3, 2014. The solicitation indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement, reducing the financial burden on applicants and making it easier for a wider range of entities to compete.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications in the full solicitation. Even though the programs to be evaluated were described as being managed by state, local, or tribal governments, the open eligibility language suggests that research organizations, universities, non profits, or other qualified entities could apply, including in partnership with the relevant governments and communities. The core expectation, however, was that applicants would be able to access and evaluate real world initiatives operating in tribal communities and produce a meaningful assessment of their effectiveness and/or implementation, consistent with NIJ standards for research integrity and usefulness to the field.
Applicants were directed to the full solicitation announcement for detailed requirements, including what NIJ would consider a strong evaluation design, required deliverables, and application components. For submission support, the opportunity referenced Grants.gov technical assistance through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800 518 4726 or 606 545 5035) and support@grants.gov, available 24 7 except federal holidays. It also noted a process for applicants who encountered technical problems beyond their control that prevented timely submission, requiring an email to the NIJ contact within 24 hours after the deadline to request permission for a late submission. For programmatic or solicitation requirement questions, applicants were instructed to contact NIJ via TribalResearch@usdoj.gov. The notice also pointed applicants to NIJ funding guidance and frequently asked questions on the NIJ website to help navigate standard federal grant application expectations.
