Abstract
Each project in this Portfolio is part of NIJ's overall strategic
plan to respond to the Nation's critical criminal justice
concerns. The projects include only currently active intramural
research conducted by NIJ staff and currently active extramural
research conducted through grants, interagency and cooperative
agreements, contracts, and fellowships. The Portfolio lists
projects alphabetically by title within 15 main categories and
several subcategories that reflect NIJ's administrative
structure. The 15 categories are corrections, courts, crime
prevention, drugs and crime, information dissemination and
general support, international crime, policing, public housing
and crime, schools, sentencing, system analysis and evaluation,
technology development, victimization and victim services,
violence, and youth. Subcategories within each of these 15 main
topic areas include extramural research (awards made to
organizations and researchers not affiliated with NIJ);
intramural research (projects conducted by NIJ staff); and
research applications contract projects (projects that focus on
the dissemination of critical research findings and important
innovations in criminal justice practices). For each project the
information provided includes project title, grantee, contact
person, grant or contract number, and a brief description of the
project. An index permits the location of a project by research
topic.
