Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) released this discretionary grant opportunity in FY 2013 to fund research and evaluation focused on violence against women, specifically in three areas: teen dating violence, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. The goal is to support studies that build stronger evidence about what is happening, what works (and what does not), and how policy and practice can be improved to prevent violence, respond more effectively when it occurs, and reduce harm to victims. The solicitation is positioned as a research-and-evaluation initiative rather than a direct service program, meaning applicants are expected to generate knowledge, assess programs or strategies, and produce findings that can inform decision-making in the field.
Projects proposed under this opportunity could be designed to examine violence against women at multiple levels of government and across different systems. NIJ explicitly notes that research may focus on federal, state, local, tribal, and juvenile justice policy and/or practice contexts. That scope leaves room for studies that look at prevention and intervention strategies in schools and communities (especially relevant for teen dating violence), criminal justice responses and case processing, victim service models, and cross-system coordination among law enforcement, courts, corrections, advocates, healthcare, and social services. The inclusion of tribal contexts signals interest in research that is responsive to the needs and realities of tribal communities, and the reference to juvenile justice highlights that NIJ is also interested in how youth-serving systems address dating violence, sexual violence, and related forms of abuse.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is described as “Research and Evaluation.” NIJ anticipated making up to 8 awards under this solicitation. The opportunity is tied to CFDA number 16.560, which covers National Institute of Justice research, evaluation, and development project grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of eligibility, which can lower barriers for organizations that do not have access to substantial outside funding.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted (open to any type of entity), subject to any additional clarifications in the full solicitation document. In practice, NIJ research competitions commonly attract universities, research organizations, nonprofits, and other public or private entities capable of carrying out rigorous research and evaluation, but the posted summary indicates the competition itself was broadly open as long as applicants met the requirements spelled out in the solicitation.
Key administrative dates frame this as a time-limited FY 2013 competition. The opportunity was posted and created on February 5, 2013, with an application deadline of April 22, 2013. The archive date was July 31, 2013, indicating the solicitation is no longer active and was formally archived after the competition cycle. The award ceiling and floor fields are listed as 0 in the summary data, which usually means the specific funding ranges were either described in the solicitation narrative or were not encoded into the summary fields; applicants would need the full solicitation document to confirm typical award sizes, permissible budgets, project periods, and any funding limits by topic area.
For application support, NIJ directed applicants to Grants.gov for submission and provided the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and email (support@grants.gov) for technical issues, noting that support is available 24/7 except federal holidays. For programmatic or solicitation-specific questions (as opposed to submission mechanics), NIJ provided an Office of Justice Programs contact email: VAWResearch@ojp.usdoj.gov. Overall, the opportunity was designed to expand the evidence base on teen dating violence, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence, with an emphasis on research and evaluation that can directly inform policy and practice across multiple jurisdictions and justice-related settings.
