About this grant
Summary from the official listing on Grants.gov:
This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the NIJ FY 2026 Research on Gender Dysphoria and Violent Crime. This opportunity will support foundational research on gender dysphoria, its treatment, and the perpetration of violence and violent behavior. Available empirical evidence regarding this topic is limited, particularly in regard to underlying causal mechanisms. To address these gaps, NIJ is interested in retrospective, secondary data analyses that explore gender dysphoria, its treatment, and the perpetration of violence and violent behavior. Examples include, but are not limited to:
• Prevalence rates of violent crime and behavior for this population, to include demographic information and crime type characteristics.
• Post-conviction analyses, to include analyses based on individuals who have been incarcerated.
• Analyses examining the relationship between violence and gender dysphoria diagnosis and/or treatment.
• Research on the victim/offender overlap or other contextual factors to interpret trends.
• Impact of comorbidities (e.g., substance use disorders and/or mental health disorders) on the relationship between violence and gender dysphoria diagnosis and/or treatment.
