Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 14 Investigator Initiated Research: The Comprehensive School Safety Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2014 3798) was a discretionary grant solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice (NIJ), under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). The opportunity was designed to support investigator-initiated research and related activities aimed at improving school safety, with NIJ using the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative framework to encourage rigorous, evidence-driven work that can inform policy and practice in K-12 and related educational settings. As an NIJ research solicitation, it emphasized the production of practical knowledge and measurable outcomes that can help communities prevent, reduce, and respond to safety threats in schools.
Funding levels were substantial but variable. Individual awards could range from a minimum of $1,000 to a maximum (ceiling) of $15,000,000, although the total amount available and the number of awards ultimately made were explicitly dependent on the availability of funds, the overall quality of applications received, and other relevant program factors. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to commit non-federal dollars as a condition of eligibility. Applicants were also advised to plan for administrative timing on the federal side: to allow time for post-award review, budget modifications, and Office of Justice Programs (OJP) clearance, NIJ instructed applicants to propose a project start date of January 1, 2015.
The eligibility rules were broad and included a wide range of potential applicants across the public, nonprofit, academic, and private sectors. Eligible entities included state, county, city/township, and special district governments; federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education when categorized separately); public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and even individuals. This wide eligibility scope reflected NIJ's intent to attract strong research ideas from many kinds of organizations, including those with direct access to schools and those with specialized research capacity.
Key administrative dates show that the solicitation was posted on February 19, 2014, with an original and final application deadline of May 20, 2014. The record indicates creation on April 4, 2014, and an archive date of June 19, 2014. The award instrument type was a grant, and the funding activity category was listed as Law, Justice and Legal Services, consistent with NIJ's mission to advance criminal justice knowledge and support applied research that can be implemented by practitioners.
For applicants needing the complete details, NIJ provided an additional information link to the full solicitation (where specific goals, required deliverables, allowable costs, performance measures, and application components would be spelled out). Programmatic and access-related questions were directed to NIJschoolsafety@usdoj.gov, identified as the program administrator contact point, particularly for anyone who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
