Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) grant opportunity titled "Research on Teen Dating Violence in Understudied Populations Postdoctoral Fellowship FY 2013" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3444) was a discretionary research and evaluation program designed to fund postdoctoral-level work focused on teen dating violence, also referred to as adolescent relationship abuse. The main goal was to expand the evidence base on teen dating violence by supporting postdoctoral fellows who would either analyze existing datasets or collect new data, with a specific emphasis on populations that had been overlooked or insufficiently studied in prior research. NIJ signaled that the proposed work could be relevant across multiple policy and practice settings, including federal, state, local, tribal, and juvenile justice contexts, indicating interest in research that could inform real-world decision-making as well as academic understanding.
The solicitation contemplated making a small number of awards, with an expected total of two grants. It did not list a specific award ceiling or floor in the summarized fields, meaning applicants needed to consult the full solicitation document for budget guidance, allowable costs, and fellowship structure. Cost sharing or matching funds were not required, which typically lowers barriers to entry for applicants and allows proposals to focus on the merit and feasibility of the research plan rather than on an applicant's ability to provide additional funding.
In terms of eligibility, the opportunity was described as unrestricted, essentially open to any type of applicant entity as long as it met any conditions described in the full solicitation under the additional eligibility information. In practice, postdoctoral fellowship opportunities like this usually involve a host or sponsoring organization (such as a university or research institute) that administers the grant and supports the fellow, but the exact requirements would be spelled out in the solicitation itself. What NIJ made clear in the summary is that the fellowship should directly support a postdoctoral researcher and that the research should address teen dating violence within understudied groups, which could include populations defined by geography, culture, race and ethnicity, tribal affiliation, disability status, sexual orientation or gender identity, involvement with the juvenile justice system, rural or urban context, or other dimensions of vulnerability and limited prior coverage.
The timeline for the opportunity was straightforward. The program was posted and created on February 5, 2013, and the application deadline was April 22, 2013, with the same date listed as both the original and current closing date. The opportunity was later archived on July 31, 2013. Applications were submitted through Grants.gov, and applicants experiencing technical submission issues were directed to the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) or support@grants.gov, with support available 24/7 except federal holidays. For programmatic or solicitation-specific questions, NIJ listed Carrie Mulford, Social Science Analyst, as the point of contact, reachable at 202-307-2959 or Carrie.Mulford@usdoj.gov.
Overall, the opportunity reflected NIJ's interest in building stronger, more inclusive knowledge about teen dating violence by investing in early-career researchers at the postdoctoral level and encouraging studies that either make better use of existing data sources or fill gaps through new data collection. The emphasis on understudied populations and on relevance to multiple levels of policy and practice suggests the agency was looking not only for descriptive work, but also for research with potential to improve prevention strategies, intervention approaches, and system responses in settings that touch adolescents, including schools, communities, and juvenile justice systems.
