NIJ FY09 Building and Enhancing Research Researcher-Practitioner/Policymaker Partnerships

NIJ is seeking applications for funding to support criminal justice researcher-practitioner collaborations. Such partnerships have frequently been encouraged in solicitations for research. However, there is a need for intentional activities that effectively use lessons learned from previous partnerships to provide opportunities for creating, enhancing, and improving criminal justice researcher-practitioner partnerships. This solicitation is aimed at developing existing partnerships, establishing new partnerships, and capturing significant lessons that have been learned through past and current researcher-practitioner partnerships. See FAQs for this solicitation http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/nij/funding/2009/sl884-faqs.htm.
