Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant opportunity titled "NIJ Research on Policing" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2437) invited proposals for research and evaluation projects focused on improving policing policies, strategies, and day-to-day operations at the state and local levels. The central purpose of the solicitation was to generate practical, evidence-based knowledge that can help law enforcement agencies make better decisions about how to deploy limited resources, reduce crime, prevent harm, and strengthen public safety outcomes. In plain terms, NIJ was looking for studies that do more than describe problems; it wanted research that tests what works, what does not, and under what conditions particular policing approaches are effective.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary grant under a research and evaluation funding category. NIJ anticipated making about four awards, and there was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive. The solicitation was posted on March 4, 2010, with an application deadline of May 3, 2010, and it was later archived on June 30, 2010. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that specific funding limits were not captured in the summary record and would instead be detailed in the full solicitation document.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity (for example, universities, research organizations, nonprofits, private organizations, or potentially public agencies), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full announcement. While the summary does not spell out priority topics or required deliverables, the description makes NIJ's intent clear: proposals needed to focus on policing research that can directly inform state and local law enforcement practice, especially research that measures the effectiveness of departmental policies and public safety interventions. That emphasis reflects a broader goal of helping agencies allocate constrained staffing and budgets toward approaches that have demonstrated results rather than relying on tradition, anecdote, or untested assumptions.
For applicants who needed help accessing the full announcement or navigating solicitation requirements, the agency provided a point of contact: Brett Chapman at (202) 514-2187, with an email address referenced but not shown in the provided excerpt. The full solicitation link was also referenced as the place to find complete requirements, selection criteria, and any special instructions for submission.
