## 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, in collaboration with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects that inform policy and practice in the field of juvenile justice. Specifically, this solicitation seeks proposals for studies that advance knowledge and understanding in the following three categories: 1. Research and evaluation of legislative and administrative policy changes affecting youth involved in the justice system. Applicants must address one or more of the following three specified juvenile justice issues: Providing community-based alternatives to youth incarceration, with a focus on very high need/risk youth who have traditionally been held securely. Sealing and expungement of juvenile justice records. Reducing racial and ethnic disparities in the juvenile justice system. 2. Research to assess dual system youth data capacity and service delivery across juvenile justice and child welfare systems. 3. Analysis on the use of the valid court order exception. In FY 2023, applications proposing research outside of these three specified categories will not be considered. Applicants may submit proposals to more than one of these categories but each proposal must be in a separate application. Applicants are expected to identify the category to which a proposal is submitted on the title page of the Proposal Narrative. 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.
