NIJ FY09 Criminal Justice Technology Regional Centers | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The NIJ FY09 Criminal Justice Technology Regional Centers grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2009 2246) is a discretionary U.S. Department of Justice program administered by the National Institute of Justice, the research, development, and evaluation arm of DOJ within the Office of Justice Programs. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means NIJ expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work compared with a more hands off formula or project grant. The program sits at the intersection of law, justice, and legal services and science and technology research and development, reflecting its focus on practical technology support for the criminal justice field.

The purpose of the solicitation is to strengthen and redesign the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Centers (NLECTC) regional center network so it becomes more sustainable and more effective at outreach. NIJ describes the regional centers as the main front door into the NLECTC System for practitioners, meaning they are intended to be the first place a law enforcement, corrections, or other justice agency turns when looking for trusted information, tools, technical assistance, and connections to NIJ-supported technology resources. In plain terms, NIJ is not just looking to fund routine operations; it is seeking proposals that help transform the existing regional center structure so it can better deliver its outreach mission to the field over the long run.

The solicitation frames the primary audience as criminal justice practitioners and defines criminal justice agencies broadly. That definition includes law enforcement and corrections agencies, public crime laboratories, and public agencies involved in the criminal judicial process. The overall emphasis is on getting evidence based knowledge and technology support into the hands of those agencies through a regional presence that can effectively engage the practitioner community, identify needs, and connect agencies to NLECTC resources.

Administratively, NIJ anticipated making about five awards under this opportunity. The posting date was May 20, 2009, with an original application closing date of June 19, 2009 that was later extended to June 22, 2009. The opportunity was later archived on September 19, 2009. The listing indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also lists the award ceiling and floor as zero, which usually means the specific funding ranges were not expressed in that summary field and applicants would need to consult the full solicitation for budget expectations and limits.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the solicitation text under the eligibility section. Applications had to be submitted through the Office of Justice Programs Grants Management System (GMS), and registration in GMS was required before submission. For technical submission issues, applicants were directed to the GMS Support Hotline (1 888 549 9901, option 3) during weekday hours. For programmatic questions about solicitation requirements, the point of contact was Davis Hart, Deputy Chief of the Operational Technologies Division for Science and Technology, reachable at 202 514 0993 or Davis.Hart@usdoj.gov.
