NIJ FY24 Research and Evaluation on Violence Against Women

The U.S. Department of Justice, through its branch, the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), under the Office of Justice Programs (OJP), is making a call for applications for its NIJ FY24 Research and Evaluation on Violence Against Women grant. This funding program underlines the OJP's dedication to promoting various aspects of justice, such as civil rights, equity, and improved access.

This grant is essentially about supporting victims of crime and those who have been affected by the justice system. It aims to strengthen community protection and safety measures against crime, and also seeks to enhance public trust in law enforcement. The organization acknowledges the evolving threats to peace and the need to adjust its efforts accordingly.

This NIJ solicitation is aimed at funding comprehensive and high-quality research and evaluations. The focus will be to assess certain interventions, programs, models, and practices. These initiatives should be centered on two primary objectives. Firstly, enhancing the engagement of victimized women and girls with the justice system. Secondly, ensuring greater accountability within the criminal justice system, particularly towards individuals who participate in or perpetrate violence against women and girls.

The overall goal of this funding opportunity is to continue the Department of Justice's mission. That is to uphold the rule of law, maintain our nation's security, and protect civil rights. The FY24 Research and Evaluation on Violence Against Women grant aims to make strides in these areas, promoting fairness and safety for all.
