Opportunity Summary:
The W.E.B. DuBois Program of Research on Race and Crime is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), within the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs. It supports research that deepens understanding of how race intersects with crime, the justice system, and culture, with an emphasis on how these dynamics play out across different societal settings. The overall aim is to build stronger evidence and clearer national insight into the complex ways race and justice-related outcomes connect, and how cultural and contextual factors shape those relationships.
For this solicitation (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2016 9108; CFDA 16.566), NIJ is seeking proposals under two distinct tracks. The first is the W.E.B. DuBois Scholars category, intended for established, advanced-career researchers who want to conduct rigorous work that materially advances the study of race and crime. The second is the W.E.B. DuBois Fellows category, aimed at early-career researchers who have promising ideas and need support and visibility to develop those ideas to a level that can contribute to national dialogue and understanding. In practical terms, the structure creates space both for senior researchers to pursue larger, more mature lines of inquiry and for newer scholars to build a research footprint in this area.
Eligibility is broad and includes many types of organizations and applicants that might be positioned to carry out research on these topics. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city or township governments; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations (including both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) entities, as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and individuals. This wide eligibility signals that NIJ is open to proposals from universities, research organizations, practitioners, and other entities capable of producing credible, policy-relevant research.
Awards are made as grants, under the funding activity area of Law, Justice and Legal Services. NIJ anticipated making about 7 awards under this solicitation, with an award ceiling listed at $2,300,000. The opportunity was created and posted on February 26, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was May 16, 2016.
