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.
The goal of this grant is to encourage local justice and service providers to adopt data-driven approaches for enhancing safety and justice in the United States. It aims to foster organizational transformation over the long term and support research partnerships that serve as catalysts for justice and service entities. By incorporating data-driven, problem-solving strategies, these partnerships intend to address the challenges of safety and justice effectively. Additionally, this grant seeks to promote the broad dissemination of the knowledge acquired through these partnerships to the wider practice community, enhancing the impact beyond the direct effects on the involved organizations.
