Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ Visiting Fellows Program (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2011 2829) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institute of Justice intended to place accomplished professionals in residence at NIJ to produce high-impact scholarship and to help influence and guide NIJ research priorities. The core idea is not just to fund another stand-alone study, but to bring experienced researchers and policy or practice leaders into close, day-to-day collaboration with NIJ leadership and staff so that the fellow can both (1) complete a significant scholarly product and (2) contribute directly to the strategic direction of federal criminal justice research and evaluation.
The program is structured around three fellowship tracks. First are Research Fellows, generally drawn from academic or research-intensive careers, who are expected to bring deep methodological and theoretical expertise and to produce major research-oriented scholarship. Second are Policy Fellows, generally drawn from criminal justice policy or practitioner settings, who bring operational experience and a real-world perspective on how research translates (or fails to translate) into practice, and who can help NIJ align research investments with pressing field needs. Third are Partnership Fellows, which is a paired arrangement consisting of one Research Fellow and one Policy Fellow working together on a joint research project. This partnership design signals that NIJ values projects that intentionally bridge rigorous research with practical policy relevance, with the expectation that the two fellows will jointly produce work that neither perspective could generate alone.
Across all tracks, NIJ emphasizes that the fellowship period should be used to complete a substantial piece of scholarship capable of materially advancing criminology or criminal justice research. The solicitation highlights examples such as a major capstone effort that culminates a line of research, or an ambitious pivot into a new area with strong potential to reshape understanding of crime and justice. In other words, NIJ is looking for work that is foundational, integrative, or transformational, rather than incremental. Because fellows are in residence at NIJ, the program also implicitly supports sustained engagement with NIJ staff and leadership, creating opportunities to refine research questions, connect to federal data or program networks where appropriate, and help shape future NIJ research agendas.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Research and Evaluation within the NIJ research, evaluation, and development project grants CFDA listing (16.560). NIJ anticipated making two awards under this solicitation. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0 in the source data, which typically means applicants needed to consult the full solicitation for any specific funding limits, budget guidance, and allowable costs. Cost sharing or matching was not required. Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications in the full announcement, so the solicitation itself would be the controlling document for details about who may apply, any residency expectations, and the precise terms of the fellowship appointment.
Key dates for this 2011 cycle were: posted and created on January 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2011, and an archive date of June 30, 2011. Questions or requests for help accessing the full announcement were directed to Thomas Feucht, NIJ Executive Senior Science Advisor, at 202-307-2949 or Thomas.Feucht@usdoj.gov.
