Eligible applicants include tribal governments, nonprofits, higher education institutions, and various other state and local entities. The evaluation criteria will emphasize the quality and feasibility of the proposed research methodology, as well as the project's potential to generate practical insights for criminal justice professionals. Proposals are due by March 20, 2025.

The federal grant program under which this opportunity falls, the NIJ Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants, has demonstrated significant diversity in recent funding levels, ranging from $25,000 to $6.9 million. While the specific award values for this particular opportunity are not stated, past grants have supported multi-year research projects (1-5 years) across a variety of criminal justice domains. The place of performance is not specified, as the program aims to support initiatives that can be applied at the state and local level.
