Opportunity Summary:
This National Institute of Justice (NIJ) discretionary grant opportunity, released in FY 2014 in partnership with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) and the Office for Victims of Crime (OVC), was designed to strengthen the evidence base on violence and victimization affecting American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) youth who live in or near tribal communities. The central purpose was not simply to describe the problem in general terms, but to generate credible prevalence data and detailed research about the types and circumstances of victimization experienced by AI/AN youth in tribal settings, where standard national surveys often miss key context or face practical and cultural barriers to participation.
A key emphasis of the solicitation was methodological: NIJ specifically sought projects that would develop and test the most effective data collection procedures for obtaining self-report information from AI/AN youth about violence and victimization. In practice, this meant creating a survey instrument and the surrounding field methods needed to administer it in tribal communities or similar settings, then implementing and pilot testing that approach. The expected end product was a set of tested survey tools and procedures capable of producing estimates of victimization, along with a clear determination of whether these tools and procedures are feasible to use in real-world tribal community contexts. The overall focus was on building a reliable approach that could support NIJ's broader research program examining violence and victimization among AI/AN youth, including understanding both the occurrence (how often victimization happens) and the forms (what kinds of victimization youth experience).
The opportunity was structured as a single expected award, indicating NIJ anticipated funding one primary project team to carry out the instrument development and pilot testing work. Total estimated funding for the solicitation was $750,000, with an award ceiling of $750,000 and an award floor of $1,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The activity category was Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the funding instrument type was a grant under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). Because federal awards often require administrative steps after selection, NIJ asked applicants to propose a start date of January 1, 2015, allowing time for post-award review and for the Office of Justice Programs (OJP) to review, modify, and clear the proposed budget if needed.
Eligibility for applying was broad and included a wide range of organizations and entities that could credibly conduct research and field testing in collaboration with tribal communities. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and certain non-501(c)(3) entities other than higher education institutions), independent school districts, public housing authorities including Indian housing authorities, small businesses, and individuals. The posting date and creation date were both April 18, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2014, and an archive date of July 17, 2014. The funding opportunity number was NIJ 2014 3897, and NIJ provided a contact point for assistance, particularly for accessing the full announcement, through TribalResearch@usdoj.gov (Program Administrator).
