Crime and Justice Research Solicitation
Funding amounts for this year's NIJ Crime and Justice Research solicitation have doubled—up to $4 million may be available. We also extended the time for applicants to write proposals—90 days. We're looking for innovative, precedent-setting ideas in what we call our "open" solicitation for social and behavioral research and evaluation on criminal and juvenile justice policy and practice. As always, the questions your research answers should have clear implications for criminal justice policy and practice.

Behavioral and Social Science Research on Understanding and Reducing Health Disparities (R01 & R21)
As a follow-up to the October 2006 conference sponsored by the NIH Office of Behavioral and Social Sciences Research (OBSSR), Understanding and Reducing Disparities in Health: Behavioral and Social Sciences Research Contributions, two funding announcements have been released. The purpose of these funding announcements is to encourage behavioral and social science research on the causes and solutions to health and disabilities disparities in the U. S. population. Health disparities between, on the one hand, racial/ethnic populations, lower socioeconomic classes, and rural residents and, on the other hand, the overall U.S. population are major public health concerns. Emphasis is placed on research in and among three broad areas of action: 1) Public policy, 2) health care, and 3) disease/disability prevention. Particular attention is given to reducing “health gaps” among groups. Proposals that utilize an interdisciplinary approach, investigate multiple levels of analysis, incorporate a life-course perspective, and/or employ innovative methods such as system science or community-based participatory research are particularly encouraged.
The assigned announcement numbers are PAR-07-379 for the R01 mechanism and PAR-07-380 for the R21 mechanism. Links to the listings in the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts are below.
R01: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-379.html
R21: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-07-380.html
General inquiries can be directed to OBSSR’s Dr. Ronald Abeles. Please see the announcements for specific scientific contact information.

Safe and Drug-Free Schools-Mentoring Programs
The Safe and Drug-Free Schools-Mentoring Programs grant provides assistance to promote mentoring programs for children with greatest need that: (1) assist these children in receiving support and guidance from a mentor; (2) improve the academic performance of the children; (3) improve interpersonal relationships between the children and their peers, teachers, other adults, and family members; (4) reduce the dropout rate of the children; and (5) reduce juvenile delinquency and involvement in gangs by the children.
To be eligible for funding, a project must address the academic and social needs of children with the greatest need through school-based mentoring programs and activities and provide these students with mentors. A school-based mentoring means mentoring activities that are closely coordinated with schools, including the involvement of teachers, counselors, and other school staff in the identification and referral of students, and that are focused on improved academic achievement, reduced student referrals for disciplinary reasons, increased bonding to school, and positive youth development. These programs and activities must serve children with the greatest need in one or more grades 4th through 8th living in rural areas, high-crime areas, or troubled home environments, or who attend schools with violence problems.
Under a competitive preference priority, five additional points will be added to a consortium of eligible applicants that includes either: a) at least one local education agency (LEA) and at least one faith-based or community organization (FBCO) that is not a school and that provides services to youth and families in the community; or b) at least one private school that qualifies as a nonprofit FBCO and at least one other FBCO that is not a school and that provides services to youth and families in the community.

 Public Health Systems Research (117 Kb)
Public Health Systems Research (PHSR) is a field of inquiry examining
the organization, financing, and delivery of pubic health services
at local, state, and national levels, and the impact of these activities on
population health. This research informs public health practice, advocacy,
and policy. There are fundamental questions yet to be addressed
in understanding the public health system; thus, RWJF is committed
to investing in PHSR in order to build the evidence base.
