Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research arm of the U.S. Department of Justice, offered this FY 2013 discretionary grant opportunity to fund research and evaluation projects focused on violent victimization. The solicitation invites studies that can inform policy and practice across multiple justice settings, including federal, state, local, tribal, and juvenile justice contexts. The overall aim is to build stronger evidence about who experiences violent victimization, how those experiences connect to broader social and system factors, and what responses or services actually help victims in measurable ways.
NIJ signaled particular interest in proposals that tackle one or more priority topic areas. One emphasis is the intersection of race, ethnicity, and violent victimization, which can include examining disparities in risk, reporting, case processing, access to support services, or outcomes for victims across different communities. Another priority is evaluating the effectiveness of services for victims of violent crime, meaning research that goes beyond describing programs and instead tests whether specific interventions, service models, or delivery approaches improve victim safety, wellbeing, recovery, cooperation with the justice process, or other relevant outcomes. A third area is the victim/offender overlap in violent crime, recognizing that some individuals and groups may be at heightened risk of being both victims and offenders, and that understanding this overlap could shape prevention strategies, supervision approaches, and service responses. NIJ also highlighted the need for research on sexual orientation and/or gender identity and violent victimization, encouraging work that improves understanding of risks, patterns, reporting barriers, and service needs among LGBTQ individuals and communities.
Administratively, the opportunity was issued as a grant under CFDA 16.560 (National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants). NIJ anticipated making about five awards. The solicitation did not require cost sharing or matching funds. The announcement was posted March 5, 2013, and the application deadline was May 20, 2013, with the opportunity later archived on July 31, 2013. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both recorded as 0), which typically indicates applicants needed to consult the full solicitation document for any budget expectations, limits, or recommended funding ranges.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full solicitation. In practical terms, opportunities like this commonly attract universities, research organizations, nonprofits, and other qualified entities capable of conducting rigorous social science research and evaluation, particularly projects involving justice system partners or victim service providers.
For submission logistics, applicants were directed to Grants.gov for electronic application submission, with technical support available through the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline (800-518-4726 or 606-545-5035) and by email at support@grants.gov. For programmatic and solicitation questions, NIJ provided contacts within the agency: Nadine P. Frederique (Nadine.Frederique@usdoj.gov, 202-514-8777) for general requirements and for questions related to race and victimization; Bethany Backes (Bethany.Backes@usdoj.gov, 202-305-4419) for questions focused on victim services or sexual orientation; and Carrie Mulford (Carrie.Mulford@usdoj.gov, 202-307-2959) for questions about victim/offender overlap. The solicitation also referenced a link to the full announcement document for complete requirements, detailed topic guidance, and application instructions.
