Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY09 Research and Evaluation on Sexual Violence and Teen Dating Violence grant (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2009 2044) is a discretionary research grant offered by the National Institute of Justice, the research, development, and evaluation arm of the U.S. Department of Justice within the Office of Justice Programs. The purpose of the opportunity is to fund objective, evidence-based research and evaluation that can strengthen policy and practice in the justice system and ultimately improve public safety, with a specific emphasis on increasing womens safety and improving institutional responses to sexual violence and teen dating violence.
The solicitation is centered on generating practical knowledge about how the criminal justice system responds to sexual violence and what can be improved in that response. It also calls for research that clarifies the scope and nature of teen dating violence, including measuring how widespread it is and identifying the characteristics and dynamics of abusive teen relationships. A major theme is evaluation: NIJ is looking for studies that assess the effectiveness of teen dating violence programs, policies, and legislation so that decision-makers can understand what works, what does not, and under what conditions certain approaches are most effective. While the main priorities are sexual violence and teen dating violence, NIJ indicates it will also consider proposals in other violence against women areas, such as intimate partner violence and stalking, though applicants are strongly encouraged to align with the specific priorities described in the solicitation.
From an applicant standpoint, this funding opportunity is broadly open, listed as unrestricted eligibility (meaning any type of entity may apply, subject to any additional eligibility language contained in the full solicitation). The funding instrument is a grant under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted January 29, 2009, with an application closing date of March 30, 2009 (original and current closing dates are the same in the source information). Award floor and ceiling amounts are listed as 0 in the summary data, which typically signals that applicants should consult the solicitation for expected award sizes, budget limits, project period guidance, and any topic-specific funding constraints.
Applications were required to be submitted through Grants.gov, and the announcement provides support channels for both technical submission issues and programmatic questions. For Grants.gov submission help, applicants were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline at 1 800 518 4726 or support@grants.gov.
