Department of Justice: National Juvenile Justice Data Analysis Program
This solicitation supports the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) in assembling juvenile justice-related data sets, analyzing and reporting on complex data and issues, and developing publications and online resources to make juvenile justice data easily accessible to the general public. To support the OJJDP website redesign, this program also requires the successful applicant to work closely with OJJDP to further develop and implement innovative dissemination strategies and visual displays that are most likely to facilitate use of OJJDP-sponsored and other juvenile justice-related data. The activities undertaken as part of this program assist OJJDP in fulfilling its responsibility to disseminate vital statistical information to the field on juvenile well-being and risk behaviors, juvenile victimization and offending, the juvenile justice system’s response to law-violating behavior, and related issues. The program’s overarching goal is to provide OJJDP with a central, primary source of statistical data and analyses that will inform the juvenile justice field and the public concerning critical issues.Limit: 1 per institution, as leadInternal due date: Notification of interest: 3/10/16Agency due date: Full Application: 4/26/16
The NIH Research Education Program (R25) supports research education activities in the mission areas of the NIH. The over-arching goal of this NIGMS R25 program is to support educational activities that enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce. To accomplish the stated over-arching goal, this FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on research experiences and courses for skills development. Applicants should directly address how the set of activities will enhance the diversity of the biomedical, behavioral and clinical research workforce by discussing 1) the rationale underlying the balance of effort and resources dedicated to each activity; 2) how the three activities integrate; and 3) objective indicators that can measure the effectiveness of the program.
