Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) Program is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to support doctoral dissertation research focused on crime, violence, and other criminal justice topics. Rather than funding individuals directly, NIJ makes awards to accredited universities that offer research-based doctoral degrees, and those universities sponsor eligible doctoral students. The program is designed to strengthen doctoral education in fields tied to NIJ's mission by helping students in the final stages of graduate study complete dissertation research that can meaningfully inform criminal justice policy and practice in the United States.
Eligibility centers on the university applicant and the relevance of the student dissertation. An institution may apply if it is sponsoring a doctoral student whose dissertation has clear, direct implications for U.S. criminal justice policy and practice and falls within NIJ-supported disciplines. The solicitation highlights several example areas, including social and behavioral sciences, operations technology, information and sensors research and development, and investigative and forensic sciences. In practical terms, the proposed dissertation work must go beyond being generally related to crime or justice and should be positioned to produce findings, tools, methods, or insights that are usable by decision-makers and practitioners within the U.S. criminal justice system.
Awards are issued as grants to cover a doctoral student fellowship, with anticipated award amounts tied to the study's methodological approach. Projects using qualitative research methods are expected to request about $30,000, while projects using a quantitative approach are expected to request about $25,000. Applicants are instructed to request funding consistent with the type of research being proposed, and NIJ notes that final award decisions, including the final funding amounts, are made by the Director of the National Institute of Justice. The posted award ceiling and floor are listed as zero in the opportunity data, which typically signals that applicants should rely on the solicitation narrative for expected award levels rather than those summary fields. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Administratively, this opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3374 and is associated with CFDA 16.562 (Criminal Justice Research and Development / Graduate Research Fellowships). It was posted on February 22, 2013, with an application closing date of May 23, 2013, and it was later archived on August 23, 2013. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is described as research and evaluation. The eligible applicant field is marked as unrestricted, meaning any entity type may apply unless further limited by the solicitation text, though the program description clearly indicates the intended applicants are accredited universities with research-based doctoral programs sponsoring qualified students.
For support and submission logistics, applications are submitted through Grants.gov, with technical help available via the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays. Questions about solicitation requirements beyond technical submission issues are directed to GRF@ojp.usdoj.gov.
