NIJ FY25 Research and Evaluation on Hate Crimes

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering a federal grant opportunity titled "NIJ FY25 Research and Evaluation on Hate Crimes," aimed at funding research and evaluation projects that inform policies and practices to prevent and combat hate crimes. Proposals are sought under two categories: (1) preventing and addressing hate crimes, which includes evaluations of interventions and research on community strategies, and (2) school-based hate crimes, focusing on understanding and addressing these issues in educational settings. This initiative is crucial for enhancing the understanding of hate crimes and developing effective interventions, with an estimated total program funding of $3.2 million and individual awards ranging from $0 to $2 million. Interested applicants, including federal agencies and local government units, must submit their proposals by March 27, 2025, and can seek technical assistance via email at grants@ncjrs.gov or through the OJP Response Center.
