With this solicitation, NIJ, in collaboration with the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), seeks proposals for funding to conduct an expansion or extension of one or more ongoing/existing longitudinal research studies that focus on delinquency and crime throughout the life-course. Longitudinal studies support interdisciplinary research on the emergence, persistence, and desistance of delinquency and criminal offending. This research will inform the design of more effective strategies for prevention and intervention in delinquent and criminal behavioral trajectories.
NIJ seeks applications for funding to expand or extend one or more ongoing/existing longitudinal research studies that focus on delinquency and crime throughout the life-course of the individual, which may include childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Applicants are encouraged to adopt a holistic approach to the study of child and adolescent development and the emergence, persistence, and desistance of delinquent and criminal offending. The research findings are intended to identify malleable risk and protective factors, which can be effectively targeted in efforts to prevent the onset of delinquency and to intervene in the lives of youth and young adults who engage in delinquent and criminal behavior.
Goals
The goals of this research initiative are to inform the advancement of effective delinquency prevention and intervention approaches that support positive life-course outcomes and thereby contribute to the reduction of delinquency and crime. To achieve these goals, the solicitation will extend or expand ongoing/existing longitudinal developmental investigations.
