Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation on Children Exposed to Family Violence" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2010 2431) supports multidisciplinary research and evaluation projects that deepen understanding of how children are affected when violence occurs in their homes. The solicitation is specifically focused on family violence and domestic violence dynamics, including children who are direct victims as well as children who witness or are otherwise exposed to violence between caregivers or other household members. While the broader field of Children Exposed to Violence (CEV) can include violence in schools, neighborhoods, or exposure through media, this particular opportunity draws a clear boundary around violence that occurs in the home and excludes school or community violence and popular culture influences like television, movies, music, and video games.
A central priority of the solicitation is research on the relationship between domestic violence and child custody decisions. NIJ is looking for projects that examine how domestic violence is considered during custody and visitation determinations, and how those custody outcomes can, in turn, affect the ongoing safety and well-being of children and other family members. This emphasis reflects practical justice system concerns, since custody arrangements may either reduce harm or inadvertently create additional risk in families with a history of domestic violence. Proposals are expected to engage with the real-world decisions made by courts and related agencies and to generate evidence that can inform safer, more effective policies and practices.
NIJ also highlights several substantive research themes it wants applicants to address. One major theme is interventions, meaning programs, services, or strategies intended to prevent harm, reduce trauma, and improve outcomes for children and families affected by violence in the home. Another theme is justice system responses, which can include how police, prosecutors, courts, child protection systems, and victim service providers identify, assess, and respond to situations where children are exposed to family violence. A third theme focuses on child development, coping, and resilience, encouraging work that goes beyond documenting harm to also examine protective factors, recovery trajectories, and the conditions under which children adapt or regain stability after exposure. Taken together, these themes signal that NIJ is seeking applied, policy-relevant research that connects child and family outcomes to system-level decisions and interventions.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program categorized under research and evaluation. NIJ anticipated making approximately three awards, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on March 31, 2010, and the application deadline was June 1, 2010, with the solicitation archived on June 30, 2010. Award floor and ceiling amounts are listed as zero in the source data, which typically indicates that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation document for any funding limits, budget expectations, or project period guidance.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to a wide range of applicant organizations, subject to any additional constraints described in the full solicitation text. In practice, opportunities like this commonly attract universities, research organizations, nonprofits, and other entities capable of conducting rigorous multidisciplinary research and evaluation, especially those with expertise spanning criminology, psychology, child development, social work, public health, family law, and related fields.
