What the grant funds
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks applications for funding to establish a Center of Excellence (COE) for research on the domestic radicalization to violent extremism phenomenon in the United States. This Center will conduct (and/or support through sub-awards) rigorous research, evaluation and demonstration projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the phenomenon, and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. This program furthers the DOJ’s mission by supporting the development of new knowledge and tools to address the challenges of crime and justice in the United States through fundamental research. OJP is committed to advancing work that promotes civil rights and equity, increases access to justice, supports crime victims and individuals impacted by the justice system, strengthens community safety, protects the public from crime and evolving threats, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community. With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals to establish a Center of Excellence for research and evaluation on the domestic radicalization to violent extremism phenomenon. This Center will perform four core functions: 1. Conduct (and/or support through multiple sub-awards) rigorous research, evaluation, and demonstration projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the phenomenon and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. 2. Assess the research needs of the field. 3. Translate and disseminate knowledge by developing a suite of evidence-driven best practices and guidelines for immediate reference by practitioners. 4. Supporting training, education and professional development of practitioners engaged in extremism prevention and intervention using that suite of evidence-driven best practices and guidelines. NIJ will give special consideration to proposals with methods that include meaningful engagement with those of lived experience regarding 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.
