Communications

NIJ is seeking applications for funding research to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the elements of the criminal justice system's data architecture. This research should provide a clear picture of how information is generated and used, how it flows through the system from beginning to end, and how the delivery of information may be improved.

NIJ seeks qualified applicants for funding to develop effective solutions to provide law enforcement agencies with the ability to continue to communicate effectively (via voice, video, data, or other means), at the data rates necessary to conduct law enforcement operation, in (1) the absence of an adequate operating communications infrastructure and/or (2) in the presence of multiple, overlapping communications infrastructures with varying attributes.

NIJ seeks proposals for the operation of the Criminal Justice Communications Technology Center of Excellence, a component of the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center System. The center conducts testing, evaluation, technology assistance programs, and other services with regard to communications tools and technologies intended for use by law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies.

NIJ s seeking applications for funding the research, development, testing, and evaluation of emerging communication technology solutions for criminal justice agencies.
