Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2018, $1,497,434)

The applicant proposes to assemble a consortium with the RAND Corporation as the lead but also made up of organizations with knowledge, research efforts, and capabilities across law enforcements, courts, and corrections communities specifically the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), the RTI International (RTI) and the University of Denver (DU). The consortium’s efforts to identify and prioritize criminal justice needs and possible solutions will use brainstorming and Delphi method based prioritization, established and utilized over the years since it was first developed in the 1960s. The methods utilized seek to both gain the advantages of group (various panels of experts) based decision-making while simultaneously recognizing and addressing its limitations. The results of these activities will not only inform NIJ’s role as the national focal point for research on criminal justice but will also provide information intended to contribute to enhancing innovation in the criminal justice communities.

The RAND consortium will also oversee the academic support, research assistance, travel and logistical support, and implementation training for evidence-based policing models for LEADS Scholars and policing agencies seeking to advance evidence-based policing practices.
