Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation on Domestic Radicalization to Violent Extremism: Prevention and Intervention Demonstration Programs" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2016 9103) is a discretionary funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice (USDOJ-OJP-NIJ). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means NIJ expects to have an active role in the project beyond simply providing funding, such as collaborating on project direction, monitoring progress, and supporting dissemination of findings. The program sits in the Law, Justice and Legal Services funding category and is associated with CFDA 16.560.
The central purpose of the solicitation is to deepen the practical, evidence-driven understanding of how domestic radicalization develops within the United States and how it may progress toward violent extremism. The emphasis is not only on academic insight, but on producing knowledge that can be used by state, local, and tribal criminal justice agencies. In other words, the solicitation is looking for research that is directly relevant to practitioners and decision-makers who must identify, prevent, or respond to radicalization dynamics in real-world community and justice settings.
The program lays out two main objectives. The primary objective is to produce research studies that close gaps in current knowledge or substantially build on existing studies in ways that generate actionable insights for criminal justice agencies. This could include examining under-studied pathways into radicalization, evaluating prevention or intervention models, identifying risk and protective factors, or testing implementation approaches that agencies can realistically adopt. The secondary objective is to develop an empirical foundation that can support the creation and rollout of effective policies and programs aimed at addressing domestic radicalization in the U.S. This second objective highlights that NIJ is looking for findings that do more than describe the problem; the expectation is that results will help guide what should be done, how it should be done, and what outcomes can reasonably be expected.
The expected deliverables are research studies and published works that directly address these objectives. That means applicants should anticipate producing formal research products suitable for dissemination, such as final reports, peer-reviewed articles, practitioner-oriented summaries, or other publications that translate findings into usable knowledge for the field. The overall aim is to strengthen the evidence base behind prevention and intervention strategies and to provide criminal justice stakeholders with tools that are grounded in rigorous empirical work rather than speculation or anecdote.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is broad and includes state governments, county governments, city or township governments, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both with and without 501(c)(3) status), individuals, for-profit organizations (including other than small businesses), and small businesses. This wide eligibility suggests NIJ is open to proposals from many types of research and practitioner partnerships, including collaborations between universities, community organizations, and criminal justice agencies.
Funding details indicate an award ceiling of $3,500,000, with an anticipated five awards. The opportunity was posted and created on March 8, 2016, and the closing date was May 9, 2016. Even though these dates indicate this specific solicitation cycle is historical, the summary captures the intent and structure: a sizeable, research-centered initiative designed to generate practical, publishable evidence to help U.S. criminal justice agencies understand and address domestic radicalization that may lead to violent extremism.
