Background
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research agency of the
U.S. Department of Justice, is soliciting proposals to conduct
research, development, and application of new and innovative
technologies in support of the implementation and enhancement of
community-oriented policing on a national level. Successful proposals
will receive grant funding to conduct research and development
projects. Proposals are expected to describe research and development
efforts to

move technologies in support of community-oriented policing beyond
current state of the art. The solicitation seeks proposals representing
partnerships between the public and private sectors to support the
research and development of new technologies or the innovative
adaptation of existing technologies that could be used as tools for
community policing. The solicitation is not intended to fund the
purchase of currently available commercial off-the-shelf technologies,
systems, or products.
The National Institute of Justice anticipates a funding level of up
to $4 million, which will support several awards under this
solicitation.
