## 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 applications for funding from two categories: (1) Tribal-researcher capacity-building (TRCB) planning grants and (2) research and evaluation proposals from previous TRCB grantees (i.e., Fiscal Year [FY] 2018, FY 2019, FY 2020, FY 2021) based on the results of the activities funded under the original planning grant. Applications involving Tribal governments and/or being conducted on Tribal sovereign lands must have an executed Tribal resolution or executive order from the Tribal authorized representative (i.e., Tribal council/government) sanctioning the partnership and the project. Tribal partnerships with program staff of government agencies or programs directed and administered by Tribal governments require approval from the government body. Similarly, applications involving Tribally-based organizations (a non-governmental organization such as a Tribal nonprofit establishment) must have a letter of commitment from the Tribal organization’s authorized legal representative (i.e., administrator, executive director) authorizing the partnership and the project. 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. NIJ also seeks proposals that include consideration and measurement of issues of diversity, discrimination, and bias across age, gender and gender identity, race, ethnicity, religion, and sexual orientation, as applicable. Applications proposing research involving partnerships with criminal justice or other agencies, should include a letter of support, signed by an appropriate decision-making authority from each proposed, partnering agency.
