Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ W.E.B. Du Bois Fellowship for Research in Race, Gender, Culture, and Crime FY 2015 is a discretionary grant opportunity from the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) designed to support research and evaluation that deepens understanding of how crime and the criminal justice system intersect with race, gender, culture, and broader social context. The central purpose of the fellowship is to advance knowledge about the confluence of crime, justice, and culture across different societal settings, with a particular emphasis on issues of crime and violence and on the administration of criminal justice in culturally diverse contexts within the United States. In practice, the program is aimed at generating research that can clarify patterns, experiences, and outcomes related to victimization, offending, policing, courts, corrections, and other justice processes as they relate to cultural context and identity.
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2015 3972) is offered as a grant under a research and evaluation funding activity category (listed as "Other" with the clarification that it is for research and evaluation). NIJ anticipated making about 4 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding amount of 300,000. The listing does not specify an award ceiling or award floor, indicating that applicants were expected to propose budgets appropriate to the scope of their research projects within the overall funding context and NIJ guidelines. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically means applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation announcement. That structure generally signals that NIJ intended to encourage a wide pool of applicants, such as universities, research organizations, nonprofits, state and local agencies, and potentially other qualified entities, as long as they could meet the requirements and demonstrate the capability to carry out rigorous research aligned with the fellowship goals. The program is associated with CFDA number 16.566, which corresponds to the National Institute of Justice W.E.B. DuBois Fellowship Program.
Key dates for the FY 2015 solicitation include a posted date of September 24, 2014, and a closing date of December 24, 2014, with the opportunity later archived on February 24, 2015. Applications were submitted through Grants.gov, and the notice provides standard federal submission guidance: applicants needing technical help with the submission platform were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800 518 4726 or 606 545 5035) or support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays. If an applicant encountered an unforeseen Grants.gov technical issue beyond their control that prevented on-time submission, the guidance required contacting NIJ within 24 hours after the deadline to request approval for a late submission due to that documented technical problem.
For programmatic or solicitation-specific questions (as opposed to platform technical support), NIJ directed applicants to email Dubois@usdoj.gov. The opportunity also points applicants to NIJ resources that explain general funding processes and common requirements, including NIJ's funding landing page (www.nij.gov/funding/Pages/welcome.aspx) and FAQs (www.nij.gov/funding/Pages/faqs.aspx). The full details, including any special fellowship expectations, required application components, review criteria, allowable costs, and reporting requirements, were provided through the solicitation link referenced in the announcement.
