Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 14 Tribal Program Postdoctoral Research Associate Fellowship was a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice's National Institute of Justice (NIJ) focused on strengthening research that informs criminal justice policy and practice related to violence against American Indian and Alaska Native women. The core purpose of the fellowship was to support NIJ's Violence Against Indian Women (VAIW) research portfolio by funding postdoctoral-level researchers to produce high-quality, policy-relevant research that improves understanding of crime and victimization affecting AI and AN women in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages. NIJ emphasized that better data and deeper analysis are urgently needed because accurate, comprehensive, and up-to-date information on the incidence, prevalence, and nature of victimization is critical for shaping effective programs, services, and policies, as well as for educating policymakers and the public about threats to the health and well-being of AI and AN women and their communities.
The opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning NIJ expected a more active partnership with the awardees than in a standard grant, typically involving collaboration, input, and ongoing engagement with NIJ during the life of the project. The activity category was Research and Evaluation, with the intent that fellows would contribute rigorous scholarship that expands the overall evidence base in criminal justice as it relates to tribal contexts. A central expectation was that applicants would be able to demonstrate not only strong research potential and scholarly promise, but also relevant experience with the practical and cultural realities of doing research in tribal settings. NIJ explicitly highlighted the "unique demands of working with tribal communities," including experience working in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages, signaling that cultural competence, relationship-building, and familiarity with community-centered and ethically grounded research approaches were important to competitiveness.
NIJ anticipated making up to two awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. The listing did not specify an award ceiling or floor, and it indicated there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, lowering barriers for applicants who may not have institutional resources to contribute matching funds. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarification in the full solicitation, which typically means applicants needed to confirm final eligibility rules and submission requirements by reviewing the complete announcement.
Key administrative details included a posting date of April 11, 2014, and an application deadline of June 10, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on August 10, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the program was 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). For submission support, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline and support email, with guidance that if technical issues prevented timely submission, the applicant needed to contact NIJ within 24 hours after the deadline to request permission to submit late due to verified Grants.gov problems. For programmatic or solicitation-specific questions, NIJ provided a dedicated contact email: TribalResearch@usdoj.gov, along with links to general NIJ funding guidance and frequently asked questions.
Overall, this fellowship was designed to invest in early-career researchers who could produce credible, actionable research in partnership with or in service of tribal communities, with the broader aim of improving criminal justice responses and public understanding regarding violence against AI and AN women.
