NIJ is the research, development and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice. We are dedicated to improving knowledge and understanding of crime and justice issues through science.
This grant program seeks to enhance the utilization of crime and justice research evidence by funding rigorous research and demonstration projects. It emphasizes leveraging implementation science to promote evidence-based policy and practice, focusing on the development, support, and evaluation of efforts aimed at improving the use of research evidence by policymakers, agency leaders, intermediaries, and other decision-makers involved in shaping justice outcomes.
