Opportunity Information: Apply for NIJ 2017 11153
The NIJ FY17 Research and Evaluation on Victims of Crime grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2017 11153, CFDA 16.560) was a discretionary Department of Justice program administered by the National Institute of Justice. Its main purpose was to fund research and evaluation projects that expand the evidence base on victims and victimization, reflecting NIJ's ongoing collaboration with the Office for Victims of Crime. The solicitation sits within a broader multi-year effort to strengthen what is known about victim needs, victim service responses, and what approaches actually work when tested through rigorous research.
A central driver behind the opportunity was OVC's Vision 21 Transforming Victim Services initiative launched in 2013, which explicitly called for building a stronger body of evidence-based knowledge to guide victim services policy and practice. Through this FY17 solicitation, NIJ and OVC aimed to support studies that align with shared priorities, build on prior joint projects and workshops, and generate findings that can be translated into better programs, improved system responses, and more effective support for victims across different contexts.
The funding mechanism was a grant, and the activity area was Law, Justice and Legal Services. The award structure indicated a relatively substantial investment capacity, with an award ceiling of $4,500,000 and an expectation of making about 8 awards. That combination suggests NIJ anticipated a mix of medium to large research efforts, potentially including multi-site evaluations or projects requiring significant data collection, rigorous methodology, or long-term follow-up.
Eligibility was broad and included most major sectors that commonly participate in federal justice research. Eligible applicants included state, county, and city or township governments; public and state controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in those nonprofit categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and even individuals. This wide eligibility aligns with the goal of attracting strong research, evaluation, and field-based implementation partnerships, including collaborations among universities, victim service providers, justice agencies, and community organizations.
In terms of timing, the solicitation was created on January 13, 2017, with an original closing date of March 14, 2017. The administering agency was the Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice. Overall, the opportunity can be understood as a targeted research and evaluation investment meant to produce actionable, credible evidence about victimization and victim services, while reinforcing NIJ and OVC's shared commitment to improving outcomes for victims through data-driven policy and practice.Apply for NIJ 2017 11153
