The FY25 NOFO research priority is firearms—the intersection of drug crimes and firearm offenses in trends, interdiction, and prosecution, and efforts to disrupt those criminal activities and related violence.
NIJ’s Research and Evaluation on Drugs and Crime Program supports rigorous applied research on drugs and crime to inform the development of evidence based tools, practices, and policies for state, tribal, and local law enforcement and other criminal justice agencies that address drug trafficking, drug markets, and drug-related violence. NIJ’s drugs and crime research informs crime reduction through several approaches including:
- Epidemiology: to increase the field’s understanding of patterns between drugs, alcohol, violence, and crime to inform communities and service providers.

- Market Disruption: to identify and evaluate strategies to disrupt drug markets at different levels and by type of market.
