The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is inviting applications for the FY24 Research and Evaluation on Drugs and Crime grant, focusing on critical issues such as money laundering, firearms, and human trafficking. This opportunity aims to fund rigorous applied research that will inform the development of evidence-based tools and practices for law enforcement and criminal justice agencies addressing drug trafficking and related violence. With an estimated total program funding of $3 million and a maximum award ceiling of $3 million, the NIJ expects to make approximately four awards under this cooperative agreement. Interested applicants, particularly units of local government, must submit their proposals by May 1, 2024, and can seek assistance through the OJP Response Center or via the provided contact email at grants@ncjrs.gov.
