Description

NIJ is seeking proposals for research targeted toward developing a better understanding of the domestic radicalization phenomenon, and advancing evidence-based strategies for effective intervention and prevention. The goal of this solicitation is to aid federal, State, local, and tribal criminal justice agencies and their attendant communities in implementing programs that prevent or counter radicalization to violent extremism. The solicitation focuses on all forms of radicalization that lead to violent extremism in the United States, but NIJ is particularly interested in responses to one or more of the following areas of focus: (1) radicalization to indigenous violent extremism; (2) NIJ partnership to translate findings for practitioners; (3) contemporary radicalization and (4) evaluation studies.
