Grant Description
The purpose of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants program is to encourage and support research, development, and evaluation to improve criminal justice policy and practice in the United States. With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals to conduct comparative evaluations of safety equipment modalities, that is, policies and practices among correctional agencies regarding what safety equipment staff may use, when and how staff use it, and how those modalities affect officers’ physical safety. For the purpose of this solicitation, safety equipment is defined as equipment used by correctional officers to de-escalate and stop violent and disruptive activities by inmates and to protect officers from assaults. Authorizing Legislation: Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (sections 201 and 202) and Homeland Security Act of 2002 (section 232).
