Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) funding opportunity titled "Research on Violence and Victimization Across the Life Span" (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2011 2824) was a discretionary grant program designed to support research and evaluation focused on violence and victimization. The solicitation emphasizes building knowledge that can lead to practical, innovative responses to violence, while also strengthening the evidence base used by practitioners, policymakers, and communities. The work sits within NIJ's Violence and Victimization Research Division, which frames its mission around strategic planning, funding high-value research and evaluation, and then actively disseminating findings so they can be applied in the real world, not left on a shelf.
This solicitation called for studies that examine violence and victimization across different stages of life, including basic or foundational research meant to clarify causes, risk and protective factors, patterns of victimization, and outcomes over time. It also included "special topics" within violence and victimization, signaling openness to targeted, emerging, or under-studied issues that fall within NIJ's broader public safety and victim services priorities. A distinct emphasis was placed on elder mistreatment, highlighting the agency's interest in improving understanding, detection, prevention, and response strategies related to abuse, neglect, and exploitation affecting older adults. Collectively, the solicitation reflects NIJ's goal of generating actionable findings that can inform prevention, intervention, and system-level decision-making.
The program was categorized under research and evaluation (Funding Activity Category: Other, clarified as Research and Evaluation) and used the grant funding instrument. NIJ anticipated making approximately five awards under this announcement, and the assistance listing was tied to CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). The listing did not specify a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute matching funds as a condition of eligibility. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as 0 in the source data, which typically indicates that exact budget ranges were defined in the full solicitation or determined based on proposal scope rather than a fixed published cap in the summary record.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility notes contained in the full announcement. In practice, open NIJ research solicitations often attract universities, research organizations, nonprofits, and other qualified entities capable of conducting rigorous social science research and evaluation, but the key point here is that the opportunity was not limited to a narrow applicant class based on the summary information provided.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on January 6, 2011, with an original and current closing date of April 6, 2011. The record indicates an archive date of June 30, 2011, reflecting that the solicitation is no longer active and was formally archived after the application and initial processing period.
NIJ also provided topic-specific points of contact for prospective applicants who needed clarification on program areas. For general "violence across the life span" inquiries, the contact listed was Christine Crossland (christine.crossland@usdoj.gov, 202 616 5166). For teen dating violence and elder mistreatment, the solicitation directed applicants to Carrie Mulford (carrie.mulford@usdoj.gov, 202 307 2959). For domestic violence and offender interventions, contacts included Bernie Auchter (bernie.auchter@usdoj.gov, 202 305 4419) and Bethany Backes (bethany.backes@usdoj.gov, 202 305 4419). An additional information link to the full solicitation announcement was included for applicants needing complete requirements, selection criteria, and submission instructions, and the notice noted that applicants could request assistance if they had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
Overall, this NIJ grant opportunity was built to fund evidence-driven research and evaluation on violence and victimization, with a life-span perspective and particular attention to pressing subareas such as teen dating violence, domestic violence interventions, and elder mistreatment. The structure of the solicitation reflects NIJ's broader emphasis on rigorous research that can translate into measurable improvements in policy, practice, and public understanding.
