What it funds

Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.

NIJ seeks proposals to conduct research on policing to improve policing practices and public safety at the State, local, and tribal levels. In 2015, a task force was created by President Barack Obama to examine the current state of policing in the United States. In response to a number of high profile events across the nation involving the police, the panel provided recommendations on promising policing practices that police could adopt as effective crime fighting strategies that would also strengthen trust and confidence in the police among community residents that they serve. The panel identified a number of reforms or œpillars that were viewed as vital to improving current police practices. In response to the recommendations and action items proposed by the task force, NIJ is interested in research in the following topical areas:

1. Research and Evaluation of Strategies to Build and Strengthen Police-Community Relationships
2. Research and Evaluation of Police Training
3. Research and Evaluation on Officer Wellness and Safety
4. Research and Evaluation on Police Technology
5. Research on Crime Scene Investigations: Triaging Evidence
