Current Funding Opportunities

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is excited to partner with the National Science Foundation (NSF) on the program solicitation “Building the Prototype Open Knowledge Network (Proto-OKN).”

Learn more about NIJ's priorities under that opportunity.

All entities seeking Department of Justice (DOJ) grant funding must have an active registration in SAM.gov. Once registered, entities must complete annual renewals to maintain an active status.

It is recommended that you begin the SAM.gov registration or renewal process 30 days prior to any deadlines to allow for the time necessary to complete the full process, including SAM.gov’s entity validation process. If you intend to apply for a specific DOJ opportunity, refer to the Grants.gov due date provided on the solicitation, and plan your SAM.gov registration accordingly.

For additional support, visit SAM.gov Help.
