Grant Description

Grants to USA and territories nonprofit organizations, government agencies, institutions of higher education, for-profits entities, and tribes for research in the areas of radical terrorism. Applicants must complete required registrations prior to applying. Funding is intended for research and evaluation projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization phenomenon and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention.

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects targeted toward developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization phenomenon and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention.

NIJ seeks proposals in four topics as they relate to radicalization to violent extremism:

Research to inform terrorism prevention efforts.
Research on the role of communications in promoting and countering extremist content and information.
Research on disengagement, deradicalization and the reintegration into society of individuals incarcerated for terrorism related offenses.
Evaluations of programs and practices to prevent acts of terrorism.

NIJ is particularly interested in proposals that explore the radicalization of Americans to white nationalist extremism and identify and advance evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention.

NIJ will give special consideration to proposals with methods that include meaningful engagement with the people with lived experience of the subject of study, including, but not limited to, justice practitioners, community members, crime victims, service providers, and individuals who have experienced justice system involvement.

NIJ is interested in supporting researchers who are early in their careers and new to NIJ’s research grant portfolios, specifically non-tenured assistant professors, or equivalent full-time staff scientist positions in a research institution, who propose research on topics relevant to NIJ’s Office of Research, Evaluation and Technology (ORET). To that end, NIJ may give, in appropriate circumstances, special consideration in award decisions to applications proposing such researchers as principal investigators.
