Predictive Policing Analytic and Evaluation Research Support

Application Deadline: July 13, 2009 11:45 PM eastern time.

NIJ's Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) is requesting proposals to provide analytic and evaluation support, as well as independent evaluation services to applicants selected for funding in the planning phase of the OST Predictive Policing program. Predictive policing includes strategies and tactics that improve the situational awareness of law enforcement concerning individuals or locations before criminal activity occurs. In a separate solicitation entitled, "Predictive Policing Demonstration and Evaluation Program," the NIJ Office of Science and Technology (OST) is seeking applications from State and local law enforcement agencies or regional law enforcement information centers to conduct planning activities leading to the demonstration of predictive policing methods in practice. Applicants selected under the OST Predictive Policing Program solicitation will be required to collaborate with program evaluators to design and monitor the predictive policing models as ! they are developed, implemented, and rigorously evaluated.
