Opportunity Summary:

The NIJ FY 2010 Criminal Justice Training Through The Use of Virtual Environments opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2411) is a discretionary National Institute of Justice solicitation focused on improving criminal justice training by applying modeling and simulation technologies in virtual environments. The core aim is to support practical, training-oriented solutions that can help agencies and practitioners learn, practice, and be evaluated in realistic simulated scenarios. NIJ indicates it is open both to proposals that create new virtual-environment technology and to proposals that adapt, test, or evaluate existing simulation tools for criminal justice uses, which makes the scope broad for both innovators and groups looking to repurpose proven platforms for law enforcement, courts, corrections, or other justice settings.

The funding instrument listed is a cooperative agreement under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants), and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, as well as Science and Technology and other Research and Development. Cost sharing or matching is not required. Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is generally open to any type of applicant organization, unless the full solicitation includes additional clarifications in its eligibility section. The posting date is February 17, 2010, and the application deadline is April 5, 2010, with the opportunity archived on July 5, 2010. The notice shows an award ceiling and floor of 0, which typically signals that specific award amounts were not stated in the summary record and applicants would need to consult the full solicitation document for budget expectations and limits.

Applications are submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS), described as a web-based, data-driven platform that supports the full grant lifecycle from application through award and grant management. Applicants are urged to start registration early, especially first-time users, to avoid missing system registration deadlines and to prevent last-minute submission delays. Guidance and training for using GMS is available at www.ojp.usdoj.gov/gmscbt/. For technical problems during registration or submission, applicants are directed to contact the GMS Help Desk at GMSHelpDesk@usdoj.gov or call 1-888-549-9901 (option 3), available Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to midnight Eastern Time, excluding federal holidays.

For programmatic questions about the solicitation requirements, applicants are directed to Dr. John J. Kaplan, Program Manager, at 202-305-4503 or via email at john.kaplan@usdoj.gov. A link to the full solicitation document is referenced as the Additional Information link, and that full announcement would be the place to confirm required deliverables, evaluation criteria, allowable costs, and any specific training domains or scenario types NIJ prioritized for virtual-environment criminal justice training.
