Background
In its effort to support and encourage cross-national and interagency partnerships devoted to producing and utilizing comparative research on crime, the National Institute of Justice is soliciting proposals for research on crime and criminal behavior of a cross- national and comparative nature. NIJ intends to support up to five research challenge grants to U.S. based researchers to conduct the U.S. part of a comparative study, for a total of up to $500,000. Each project supported by NIJ must have counterparts to conduct parallel research outside of the United States. These counterparts may be supported by the government agencies or departments, private non-profit organizations, or universities of other nations. In this way, it is anticipated that the first projects will initiate a new series of cross-national research partnerships. Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of ``NIJ Request for
Proposals for Comparative, Cross-National Crime Research Challenge Grants'' (refer to document No. SL000277).
