Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, offered this FY 2014 discretionary grant opportunity to fund studies that strengthen criminal justice policy and practice related to violence against women. The solicitation focuses specifically on three overlapping areas: teen dating violence, sexual violence, and intimate partner violence. The intent is to generate practical, evidence-based knowledge that can inform prevention, intervention, investigation, prosecution, victim services, and broader system responses. NIJ emphasized research, development, and evaluation, meaning proposals could range from basic research on dynamics and risk factors to applied evaluations that test whether particular programs, policies, or practices actually work.
Projects under this solicitation could be designed around different levels of the justice system and different jurisdictions. NIJ made clear that research could be situated at the state, local, tribal, or federal level, and it could also focus on the juvenile justice system. In practical terms, that meant applicants could propose work examining how agencies respond to teen dating violence in schools or juvenile contexts, how law enforcement and courts handle sexual assault cases, how coordinated community responses affect intimate partner violence outcomes, or how policy changes influence reporting, case processing, victim safety, offender accountability, and service access. The unifying requirement was that the work be clearly tied to criminal justice policy and practice and contribute usable findings for decision-makers.
From a funding standpoint, NIJ anticipated making about 20 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,850,000. The award ceiling and floor were listed as $0, which typically signals that award sizes could vary widely and that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation for any practical limits, budgeting expectations, or preferred project periods. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to bring non-federal dollars to qualify. The program falls under CFDA 16.560, National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants, and the funding instrument type was a grant.
Eligibility was listed as “unrestricted,†meaning the competition was broadly open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarification in the full announcement. In similar NIJ research solicitations, this generally includes universities, nonprofit organizations, private research firms, tribal governments and organizations, state and local governments, and other entities capable of conducting rigorous research and managing federal awards, but applicants would still be expected to meet all federal administrative, financial, and compliance requirements.
Key dates for this opportunity were as follows: it was posted on February 10, 2014 (created February 12, 2014). The original closing date was May 21, 2014, but it was later updated to a current closing date of April 25, 2014. The archive date was June 20, 2014. Applications were submitted through Grants.gov, and NIJ noted that applicants encountering technical issues beyond their control had to contact NIJ within 24 hours after the deadline to request approval for a late submission due to those issues.
For support and questions, NIJ directed applicants to email VAWResearch@ojp.usdoj.gov for solicitation-related requirements and pointed to NIJ’s general funding guidance and FAQ pages on nij.gov. Technical submission assistance was routed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov, with the hotline operating 24/7 except federal holidays.
