Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) offered a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Research and Evaluation on White Collar Crime" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3453) to support research projects that strengthen what is known about white collar crime (WCC) and what can be done to prevent it, respond to it, and reduce its harms. The solicitation is framed broadly: NIJ is looking for proposals that either build foundational knowledge about white collar crime or rigorously evaluate strategies, interventions, and programs intended to curb it. The topics listed in the announcement are presented as examples rather than limits, which signals that applicants could propose other well-justified WCC research directions as long as they fit the overarching aim of improving evidence and practice.
A major emphasis of the opportunity is improving the research base on different forms of white collar crime and the people who commit them, including work that shows how particular research strategies and methodologies can be especially effective for studying WCC. That can include, for example, methodological approaches that address common challenges in this area such as underreporting, complex organizational structures, data access barriers, and the difficulty of measuring harm that may be dispersed across many victims or markets. NIJ also highlights the need to enhance knowledge about the incidence and prevalence of white collar crime, along with the characteristics of these offenses and offenders. In practical terms, that points to studies that can better estimate how often different types of WCC occur, who is affected, what patterns exist across industries or jurisdictions, and how these crimes are detected and processed.
Another priority area is developing and validating standardized definitions, models, or measurements for various types of white collar crime. This reflects a recurring issue in WCC research: different agencies, researchers, and jurisdictions may use inconsistent definitions and classification systems, making it hard to compare studies, track trends over time, or evaluate interventions consistently. Proposals that create clearer typologies, measurement tools, or validated indicators could help improve comparability and support better data-driven policy and enforcement decisions.
NIJ also invites proposals that develop and or evaluate strategies for effective prevention and intervention. This includes both new approaches and rigorous testing of existing ones, which could cover deterrence strategies, compliance mechanisms, regulatory and enforcement practices, investigative techniques, public awareness efforts, or organizational controls designed to reduce opportunities for fraud and related misconduct. A related focus is on developing and demonstrating or evaluating programs aimed at reducing the monetary and broader social costs of white collar crime. That framing recognizes that WCC often produces significant financial losses, but can also generate wider harms such as reduced trust in institutions, market instability, and long-term effects on communities and victims.
From the administrative details provided, the opportunity was run as a grant program under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ expected to make two awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, and eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any applicant type as long as they met any clarifications in the full solicitation. The opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2013, with an application closing date of June 19, 2013, and it was later archived on July 31, 2013. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as 0 in the summary record, which typically indicates that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation document for award size guidance, budgeting limits, and other funding parameters rather than relying on the abbreviated listing.
For support, the announcement directs applicants with submission problems to Grants.gov customer support, available 24 7 except federal holidays. Programmatic and solicitation requirement questions were directed to NIJ contacts Karen R. Stern (Social Science Analyst) and Patrick Clark (Social Science Program Specialist), with phone numbers and email addresses provided. Overall, the grant opportunity was designed to expand the evidence base on white collar crime through both foundational research (definitions, measurement, prevalence) and applied evaluation work (prevention, intervention, and cost reduction), with flexibility for applicants to propose well-supported topics beyond the examples listed.
