NIJ FY25 Research and Evaluation on Drugs and Crime: Nexus with Firearms and Violence

This funding opportunity seeks applications for rigorous applied research on drugs and crime to inform the development of evidence-based tools, practices, and policies for state, tribal, and local law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies that address drug trafficking, drug markets, and drug-related violence. The FY25 NOFO research priority is firearms — the intersection of drug crimes and firearm offenses in trends, interdiction, and prosecution, and efforts to disrupt those criminal activities and related violence.
