Research and Evaluation on Policing Strategies for Civil Disturbances, Fiscal Year 2021
With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects to better understand the factors that lead to violent disorder and criminal conduct at some protests and demonstrations but not others, and the tactics and strategies that police use to maintain public order.
To
that end, NIJ seeks applications for funding research projects addressing these two topics:
Police Strategies and Tactics to Respond to Violence and Maintain Order The Role of Extremists in Fomenting Violence at Protests and Demonstrations Applicants’ proposals must clearly indicate to which topic the proposal is being submitted.
Applications proposing research involving partnerships with criminal justice or other agencies, should include a strong letter of support, signed by an appropriate decision-making authority from each proposed, partnering agency.
A letter of support should include the partnering agency’s acknowledgement that de-identified data derived from, provided to, or obtained through this project will be archived by the grant recipient with the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) at the conclusion of the award.
Applicants and their potential partners are encouraged to review the NACJD’s policies and protections at (NACJD).
If selected for award, grantees will be expected to have a formal agreement in place with partnering agencies by January 1, 202 2. That formal agreement must include a provision to meet the data archiving requirements of the award.
In the case of partnerships that will involve the use of federal award funds by multiple partnering agencies to carry out the proposed project, only one entity/partnering agency may be the applicant (as is the case with any application submitted in response to this solicitation); any others must be proposed as subrecipients.
This solicitation supports DOJ Strategic Objective 3. 1:
Combat violent crime, promote safe communities, and uphold the rights of victims of crime.
