NIJ FY23 Research and Evaluation on Policing Practices, Accountability Mechanisms, and Alternatives

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks rigorous, applied research and evaluation projects examining the impact of:

1. Police accountability practices;
2. The shifting and sharing of police functions;
3. Police training; and
4. Police officer health and wellness programs on an array of police performance outcomes (e.g., officer intervening and reporting of misconduct, excessive or unnecessary use of force, civilian complaints, officer and civilian injuries, police accountability and transparency, public trust and confidence in the police, and quality of police-community relationships).

Applicants are encouraged to review NIJ’s policing portfolio and previous policing and safety, health and wellness research awards funded by NIJ.
