Goals: The goal of the program is to increase graduate research fellowship in social and behavioral sciences and in science, technology, engineering and mathematics that are involved in research relevant to problems that affect criminal justice policy and practice in the United States particularly addressing issues deemed critical by the U.S. Department of Justice. Through the GRF program, NIJ supports graduate education by investing in academic institutions that support outstanding and promising doctoral students. Objectives: NIJ’s Graduate Research Fellowship (GRF) program provides awards for research on crime, violence, and other criminal justice-related topics to accredited academic universities that support graduate study leading to research-based doctoral degrees in disciplines relevant to the Institute’s mission. This program furthers the Department’s mission by sponsoring research to provide objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to meet the challenges of crime and justice, particularly at the State and local levels.
