The theme of NIJ’s 2023 Research Conference was “evidence to action,” and our goal was to bring researchers and practitioners together to learn about the latest research evidence and how it can be implemented to promote safety, equity, and justice.

The opening ceremony included remarks from U.S. Attorney General Merrick B. Garland, Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Justice Programs Amy Solomon, and NIJ Director Nancy La Vigne.

NIJ’s American Indian and Alaska Native Travel Scholarship Program Scholars discuss:

• Why they applied to the program.
• Which conference they chose to attend and why.
• Why representation of American Indian and Alaska Native is important in the field of criminal justice.
• What conference sessions they chose to attend and which they found most interesting.
• How they want to contribute to the fields of tribal and criminal justice.
