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 policy and practice 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 strategies to reduce victimization, and (2) school-based hate crimes, focusing on interventions and evaluations specific to educational settings. This initiative is critical for enhancing understanding and responses to hate crimes, with a total estimated 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.
