Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) FY 15 grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation Examining Violence Against American Indian and Alaska Native Women: Domestic Violence, Homicide, Intimate Partner Violence, Sex Trafficking, Sexual Violence, Stalking, and Teen Dating Violence" is a discretionary research funding program focused on building stronger evidence about the violence and victimization experienced by American Indian (AI) and Alaska Native (AN) women. The central purpose is to support research and evaluation that can explain the scope, dynamics, and contributing factors of these crimes in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages, with the practical goal of informing better public policy and more effective prevention and intervention strategies. NIJ emphasizes that the funded work should deepen understanding of the specific challenges Native women face and translate that knowledge into insights that can help reduce violent crime and improve safety and outcomes for victims.
The solicitation specifically highlights several priority topic areas where NIJ is especially interested in proposals: domestic violence, homicide, intimate partner violence, sex trafficking, sexual violence, stalking, and teen dating violence. In other words, NIJ is not only looking for broad discussions of victimization, but for targeted, methodologically sound research and evaluation efforts that examine these forms of violence as they occur in Native communities, including the unique contextual, legal, geographic, and service-delivery realities that may shape both risk and response. The opportunity is positioned within NIJ's research, evaluation, and development portfolio under CFDA 16.560, reflecting its focus on generating actionable knowledge in the law, justice, and legal services space.
In terms of funding, NIJ anticipated making about two awards from an estimated total funding pool of $1,000,000. The award ceiling was $500,000 and the minimum award amount listed was $1,000. Cost sharing or matching was not required, which reduces barriers for applicants that may have limited access to non-federal matching funds. The funding instrument type is a grant, indicating support for a defined project with deliverables consistent with NIJ research and evaluation expectations.
Eligibility for this opportunity was broad and included a wide range of potential applicants, reflecting NIJ's intent to encourage participation from tribal entities, researchers, and organizations with relevant expertise and community relationships. Eligible applicants included federally recognized Native American tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations, public and private institutions of higher education, state and local governments (including county and city/township governments), special district governments, independent school districts, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status (with certain limitations noted for institutions of higher education), individuals, small businesses, and for-profit organizations other than small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests NIJ was open to multidisciplinary teams and partnerships, including collaborations that combine academic research capacity with on-the-ground knowledge and access within tribal communities.
The timeline shows the announcement was posted and created on January 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 15, 2015, and an archive date of May 15, 2015. The administering agency is the National Institute of Justice. For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Christine Crossland, Program Manager, at 202-616-5166, indicating NIJ provided a direct point of contact for administrative and solicitation-access questions.
Overall, this funding opportunity was designed to produce rigorous, policy-relevant research and evaluation evidence on severe and often undercounted forms of violence affecting AI and AN women in Indian Country and Alaska Native villages, with a clear emphasis on generating knowledge that can support prevention strategies, improve justice and service responses, and ultimately reduce victimization.
