Synopsis

This NOFO will support research and evaluation of emerging technology implementation and impact for law enforcement purposes. Topics include policies, trainings, operational and staffing issues; communications strategies associated with technology implementation; and impacts of technology implementation and use on public safety and agency budgets. NIJ encourages researchers and practitioners to partner or build on existing researcher-practitioner partnerships to guide the law enforcement community on the best ways to implement technology to solve contemporary problems in policing. Applying for this funding opportunity involves a two-stage process that begins with submission of a concept paper. Based on the merits of the concept paper, NIJ may request that the applicant submit a full proposal. Applicants should not submit a full proposal unless invited. For information on the concept paper format, please see the General Purpose of the Funding section of this NOFO.
