What the grant funds
OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and racial equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety and protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization phenomenon and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. NIJ seeks proposals in four topics as they relate to radicalization and violent extremism under this solicitation: Research to inform terrorism prevention efforts. Research on the role of communications in promoting and countering extremist content and information. Research on disengagement, deradicalization and the reintegration into society of individuals incarcerated for terrorism related offenses. Evaluations of programs and practices to prevent acts of terrorism. NIJ is particularly interested in proposals that explore the radicalization of individuals within the United States to violent white supremacist extremism and anti-government extremism, and identify and advance evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. NIJ will not fund applications that intentionally introduce, expose, or disseminate extremist materials and propaganda to study participants. Applications that do not include an explicit plan to anonymize data and personally identifiable information will not be funded. Further, NIJ will not fund applications that employ deceptive or non-privatized data collection practices nor will NIJ fund applications that provide identifiable research data to law enforcement or investigative agencies. Please see the "Important Considerations" and "What will not be funded" sections on pages 8 and 17 below for more information. NIJ will give special consideration to proposals with methods that include meaningful engagement with the people with lived experience of the subject of study, including, but not limited to, justice practitioners, community members, crime victims, service providers, and individuals who have experienced justice system involvement. Applicants are encouraged to propose multidisciplinary research teams to build on the complementary strengths of different methods and areas of subject matter expertise.
