Application deadline: April 15, 2020, 11:59 pm ET.

The NIJ Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) program supports doctoral students engaged in research that advances NIJ’s mission.
The goal of the GRF program is to increase the pool of scholars engaged in research that addresses the challenges of crime and justice in the United States, particularly at the state and local levels.
Previously, the GRF program had two separate tracks:
- Social and Behavioral Sciences. GRF-SBS supported research in all social and behavioral science disciplines including, but not limited to, criminology, psychology and sociology.
- Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). GRF-STEM supported research in the life sciences, physical sciences, engineering, computer and information sciences, and the mathematical sciences.
Changes for 2020
Beginning in 2020, NIJ will welcome applications from eligible applicants in all fields to a single GRF funding opportunity, regardless of SBS/STEM distinction. NIJ anticipates that this solicitation will be released in early 2020.
