About this grant
Summary from the official listing on Grants.gov:
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the NIJ FY 2026 Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program (SCIP).1 This opportunity will support research and evaluation to assess the effectiveness of programs funded under FYs 2022-2026 BJA’s Byrne SCIP NOFOs.
BJA’s Byrne SCIP provides funding for the creation or enhancement of state crisis intervention court proceedings and related programs or initiatives, including extreme risk protection order (ERPO) programs, as well as mental health courts, drug courts, and veterans treatment courts. Such programs or initiatives can include, but are not limited to:
1) Law enforcement crisis interventions;

Applicants may apply to assess multiple program areas where applicable. NIJ anticipates making at least one award per topic area for a total of 4 awards. Applicants should clearly state the program area(s) on the title page.
This NOFO invites applications proposing a two-phased evaluation strategy to assess Byrne SCIP. The approach includes:

• Phase II: An Evaluation of the Byrne SCIP’s Effectiveness.
Applications to this NOFO should include both phases. Applications that do not meet this requirement would not be considered responsive to this funding opportunity.
