Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY09 Crime and Justice Research opportunity was a discretionary grant program run by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research, development, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Justice within the Office of Justice Programs. The purpose of the solicitation was to fund objective, independent, evidence-based social and behavioral research, along with evaluations, that could strengthen the administration of justice and improve public safety. The central emphasis was on generating practical knowledge and tools that can guide real-world policy and day-to-day practice, especially for state and local criminal justice systems and juvenile justice agencies.
This solicitation invited proposals focused on crime and justice topics that matter to state and/or local criminal and juvenile justice policy and practice. In other words, NIJ was looking for studies and evaluations that help decision-makers understand what works, what does not, and why, using rigorous research methods. While the announcement text is broad, the framing makes clear that NIJ wanted actionable findings and credible evidence that could inform programs, interventions, strategies, or system improvements in the field.
Administratively, the program was categorized under “Research and Evaluation†(funding activity category listed as “Other,†clarified as research and evaluation). The funding instrument was a grant, and NIJ anticipated making up to about 100 awards. The program fell under CFDA 16.560, titled “National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants.†The solicitation did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which lowered the barrier for applicants who might not have had non-federal dollars available to contribute.
Eligibility was described as “unrestricted,†meaning it was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might have been included in the full solicitation. The posted date was February 9, 2009, with creation dated February 10, 2009. The original closing date was April 6, 2009, and the current (updated) closing date was April 9, 2009. The archive date was July 6, 2009, indicating the opportunity was no longer active after that point.
The award ceiling and floor were both listed as 0 in the summary data, which typically signals that specific funding ranges were either not set at the summary level or were provided only in the full solicitation documentation. Applicants were required to submit through Grants.gov, and the announcement provided support channels for both technical submission issues (Grants.gov customer support) and programmatic questions. NIJ listed two points of contact for solicitation requirements: Cathy Girouard (Social Science Analyst) and Laurie Bright (Social Science Analyst), including phone numbers and email addresses for direct assistance.
