Grant Description

Grants to USA and territories nonprofit and for-profit organizations, government agencies, Tribes, and IHEs for research and analysis related to juvenile justice. Applicants must complete required registrations prior to applying. Funding is intended to generate and advance knowledge, with meaningful implications for juvenile justice policy and practice.

NIJ works closely with OJJDP to support high-quality, rigorous research, independent evaluations, and statistical analyses related to juvenile justice, juvenile delinquency, and child victimization. The purpose of this solicitation is to invite applicants to propose research addressing one of three categories described below. Under each category, applicants should propose to conduct scientifically rigorous research and/or evaluation studies with an emphasis on informing policy and practice. Applicants should clearly articulate the research questions to be addressed and may propose a broad range of research methodologies to address these questions, including mixed qualitative and quantitative methods.

Category 1: Research and Evaluations of Legislative and Administrative Policy Changes Affecting Youth Involved in the Justice System
Category 2: Research to Assess Dual System Youth Data Capacity and Service Delivery across Juvenile Justice and Child Welfare Systems
Category 3: Analysis on the Use of the Valid Court Order Exception
