This program furthers the Department’s mission by improving scientific knowledge of factors related to the commission of violent crime and developing knowledge to advance strategies for violence prevention and reduction.
The purpose of this solicitation is to support research to produce sustainable community-level reductions in violence. NIJ seeks to develop scientific evidence and build practical knowledge of the factors that contribute to achieving enduring violence reductions in communities. NIJ is interested in receiving proposals for research with both empirical and theory-building elements that will lead to practical and generalizable recommendations. These recommendations should inform community-focused efforts to produce substantial and lasting violence reductions in communities that have suffered from persistently high levels of violence, including those funded by OJP such as the OJP Diagnostic Center and the Violence Reduction Network.
The goal of this solicitation is to support research designed to build knowledge on communitylevel reductions in violence. This research will produce scientific evidence and build practical knowledge of the factors that contribute to achieving enduring violence reductions in communities. Research projects will incorporate both empirical and theory-building elements that advance scientific understanding of community violence prevention and reduction. Projects funded under this solicitation will also produce practical recommendations.
