Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation on Policing" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3449) is a discretionary, competitive grant program designed to support rigorous research and evaluation projects focused on improving policing in the United States. NIJ is looking for studies that produce practical, evidence-based knowledge that can strengthen law enforcement operations while also reinforcing public trust and confidence in police agencies across diverse communities.
The solicitation emphasizes several major research themes. One priority is officer safety and wellness, with an interest in identifying strategies, policies, training approaches, organizational practices, or environmental factors that reduce injuries, improve physical and mental health outcomes, and enhance overall wellbeing for officers. Another priority area is police technology and its real-world effects on crime control and disorder. This includes research that examines whether specific technologies change police effectiveness, community outcomes, decision-making, deployment patterns, accountability, or the frequency and nature of crime and disorder, as well as how technology is adopted and used in practice. NIJ also highlights the importance of promoting police integrity, which can include research on misconduct prevention, organizational culture, supervision, internal accountability systems, ethical decision-making, transparency tools, and interventions that reduce corruption or bias and strengthen legitimacy. A fourth area of interest is the consolidation of police agencies at the state, local, and tribal levels, with a focus on understanding the costs and benefits of agency consolidation or regionalization, such as impacts on service quality, response times, budgets, governance, labor issues, specialized capabilities, community relationships, and outcomes related to crime and disorder.
This opportunity falls under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants) and is categorized as "Research and Evaluation." NIJ expected to make about 8 awards under this solicitation. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition is generally open to a wide range of applicant types, as long as they meet any conditions described in the full solicitation. In practice, NIJ research solicitations often attract proposals from universities, research organizations, nonprofit entities, and other public or private institutions capable of carrying out high-quality research and evaluation, including partnerships with law enforcement agencies and community stakeholders when relevant.
Key dates for this solicitation include a posted and creation date of January 30, 2013, and an application closing date of April 26, 2013 (with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date). The archive date is July 31, 2013. 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 applicants would need to consult the official solicitation document for detailed budget guidance, allowable costs, and any recommended funding ranges.
Applicants were directed to submit through Grants.gov, with technical submission help available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov. For programmatic and solicitation requirement questions, NIJ listed two points of contact: Brett Chapman (202-514-2187, Brett.Chapman@usdoj.gov) and Eric D. Martin (202-514-9588, Eric.D.Martin@usdoj.gov). Overall, the central purpose of the opportunity is to fund research that helps the field better understand what works in policing, what the tradeoffs are, and how agencies can improve safety, effectiveness, integrity, and community confidence using solid evidence rather than assumptions.
