Opportunity Information: Apply for NIJ 2019 15466
The Graduate Research Fellowship Program in the Social and Behavioral Sciences, FY 2019 (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2019 15466) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice through the National Institute of Justice (NIJ). It is designed to strengthen doctoral-level research in the social and behavioral sciences by funding graduate research that supports public safety goals and improves how the U.S. criminal justice system prevents, responds to, and manages crime. While the fellowship is aimed at doctoral students across any social or behavioral science discipline, the awards are made to accredited colleges and universities, which then support the student researchers and their dissertation-related work.
The purpose of the program is to invest in rigorous, policy-relevant research leading to PhD degrees in topics tied to preventing and controlling crime and ensuring the effective administration of criminal justice in the United States. NIJ is looking for research that produces practical knowledge and evidence that can inform decision-making for law enforcement, courts, corrections, victim services, and other justice and public safety stakeholders. The program is broadly open to many disciplinary perspectives, meaning applicants can come from fields such as criminology, sociology, psychology, economics, public policy, public health, social work, geography, and related areas, as long as the proposed dissertation research clearly connects to criminal justice outcomes and public safety.
NIJ highlights several priority areas that reflect Department of Justice concerns at the time of the solicitation. These include violent crime reduction, improving the effectiveness of investigations and prosecutions, protecting police officers and other public safety personnel, combating the opioid epidemic, understanding and addressing victimization, and responding to issues connected to illegal immigration. In practice, that emphasis signals that proposals aligned with these problem areas, and that can demonstrate real-world relevance to DOJ operations and public safety strategies, are especially competitive.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled universities and private universities. This structure is typical for federal graduate fellowship programs administered through universities: the institution applies for and receives the grant, and the supported doctoral students conduct the funded research under academic supervision, usually in the context of dissertation planning, data collection, analysis, and dissemination. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is research and development within science and technology and related R&D, indicating NIJ is expecting a research-driven project with clear methods, measurable outputs, and credible plans for producing findings that contribute to the evidence base.
For FY 2019, the opportunity listed an award ceiling of $1,000,000 and anticipated making about 7 awards. The solicitation was created on February 5, 2019, with an original application closing date of April 8, 2019. The program is listed under CFDA number 16.560, which corresponds to NIJ research, evaluation, and development activities. Overall, this fellowship program is best understood as a way for NIJ to cultivate the next generation of criminal justice researchers while generating dissertation-based research that can directly inform policies and practices aimed at reducing crime, supporting victims, and improving justice system performance.Apply for NIJ 2019 15466
