Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 14 Research on Gangs and Gang Violence solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2014 3747) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institute of Justice to support criminal justice research and evaluation focused on gangs in the United States. The program is designed to fund multiple research efforts that either deepen practical understanding of gang membership and gang related violence or evaluate strategies and programs intended to reduce those problems. NIJ emphasizes that the value of these projects should be reflected in usable findings that can inform better criminal justice policy, day to day practice, and future research, with a particular focus on decisions made at the local and state levels where most anti gang responses are planned and implemented.
This opportunity falls under the NIJ research, evaluation, and development project grants authority (CFDA 16.560) and uses a grant funding instrument. The activity category is research and evaluation, and NIJ anticipated making about seven awards under this solicitation. The estimated total funding available across all awards was listed as 1,000,000. The notice does not specify a required cost share or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to provide matching funds as a condition of eligibility. Award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in the source record, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the full solicitation for any guidance on recommended project budgets, scope, or funding limits rather than the summary fields.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, indicating the competition was open to a wide range of applicant types (for example, universities, nonprofit organizations, for profit entities, state and local governments, and other qualified organizations), subject to any clarifications that may have been included in the full solicitation. In practical terms, NIJ was looking for strong proposals capable of producing credible evidence on gangs and gang violence, including rigorous evaluations of interventions as well as research that improves measurement, understanding, or decision making related to gang activity and prevention or enforcement approaches.
Key dates for this FY 2014 solicitation include a posted and created date of February 11, 2014, with an application closing date of April 25, 2014 (the original and current closing dates match). The opportunity was later archived on July 31, 2014. Applicants were directed to the full solicitation through the additional information link in the posting and could request help if they had trouble accessing the announcement electronically.
For programmatic or solicitation requirement questions, NIJ provided an email point of contact at gangs@ojp.usdoj.gov. Applicants were also referred to NIJ funding guidance and frequently asked questions hosted on the NIJ website. For application submission issues, technical support was handled through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800 518 4726 or 606 545 5035) and by email at support@grants.gov, with availability stated as 24 hours a day, seven days a week, except federal holidays. The notice also highlights a common federal grants rule: if an applicant experiences Grants.gov technical problems outside their control that prevent on time submission, they must notify the NIJ contact within 24 hours after the deadline to request approval for a late submission under those limited circumstances.
