Description

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects  targeted toward developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization phenomenon, and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. This includes research efforts that explore the radicalization of Americans to white nationalist extremism, and those exploring emerging militant left-wing movements, to identify and advance evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention.

NIJ seeks proposals in three areas of focus:

  • Research to inform terrorism prevention efforts.
  • Research on the reintegration of offenders into the community.
  • Evaluations of programs and practices to prevent terrorism.

Funded projects will apply an approach that engages researchers and practitioners in an active partnership to develop more effective solutions to specific problems and to produce transportable lessons and strategies that may help other localities with similar problems.
