Opportunity Summary:
This National Institute of Justice (NIJ) discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2593) funded research and evaluation focused on the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) Evidence Based Decision Making (EBDM) framework for local criminal justice systems. The central purpose was to support an evaluation that looks closely at how evidence based practices are being used in real court and supervision settings, and whether the way decisions are made across the local justice system can reduce repeat offending, improve public safety, and support successful reentry for people leaving incarceration. In other words, NIJ was looking for a structured, research driven assessment of whether and how EBDM links decision points in court processing and community supervision to outcomes like lower recidivism and better reintegration.
The evaluation emphasis was on the connections between evidence based court decisions and supervision options. That framing signals an interest in the full decision chain that affects an individual case, such as pretrial decisions, sentencing choices, risk and needs assessment use, placement into supervision levels and programs, responses to violations, and coordination among courts, probation/parole, treatment providers, and corrections. The intent was not simply to describe what jurisdictions claim to be doing, but to examine how these evidence based decisions interact across agencies and whether those interactions create a more consistent and effective approach to reducing the cycle of offending. The solicitation also tied the work directly to practical public goals: breaking the cycle of recidivism, protecting the public, and helping returning individuals succeed in the community.
Administratively, this was a research and evaluation opportunity under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as Research and Evaluation (under an "Other" category explanation). NIJ anticipated making up to 30 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $750,000. The notice listed no award floor or ceiling (both shown as 0), which generally indicates applicants needed to rely on the solicitation document for guidance on appropriate budgets and project scopes rather than assuming a fixed per award amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for applicants that do not have non federal funds to contribute.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of entity types as allowed under the program rules, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications in the full solicitation. This kind of open eligibility usually allows universities, research organizations, nonprofit entities, for profit firms, state and local agencies, and sometimes tribal governments and other eligible organizations to apply, as long as they can meet the federal grant compliance requirements and propose a credible research plan.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 12, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 7, 2010, and an archive date of September 30, 2010. Applicants were expected to submit through Grants.gov and to follow NIJ application requirements and formatting instructions contained in the solicitation document. For access problems, the notice directed applicants to the Grants.gov Helpdesk, and for programmatic questions it provided a point of contact at NIJ: Marilyn C. Moses, Social Science Analyst (phone 202 514 6205). The announcement also referenced an additional information link to the full solicitation document, which would typically contain the detailed statement of work, required deliverables, evaluation expectations, data and human subjects requirements, reporting schedule, and review criteria.
