Department of Justice - Building and Enhancing Criminal Justice Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships

Department of Justice - Building and Enhancing Criminal Justice Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships

Synopsis:

NIJ is interested in funding multiple criminal justice research projects involving researcher-practitioner partnerships as well as capturing, in detail, relevant accounts of these collaborations. Such partnerships have frequently been encouraged in NIJ solicitations for research. However, this 2012 solicitation specifically aims to support criminal justice research and evaluation activities that include a researcher-practitioner partnership component. Within the context of the proposed research or evaluation project, these partnerships can be new or ongoing. Results from these projects should lead to better criminal justice policy, practice, and research, including as it relates to the participating practitioner partner.

NIJ intends to support criminal justice research in two areas related to new and ongoing researcher-practitioner collaborations. Applications should fall under one of the following program areas:
1. Junior Faculty Grant Program to Promote Criminal Justice Researcher-Practitioner Partnerships.
2. Criminal Justice Researcher-Practitioner Fellowship Placement Program.

Deadline: May 30, 2012
