With this solicitation, NIJ seeks proposals for rigorous research and evaluation projects to better understand the factors that lead to violent disorder and criminal conduct at some protests and demonstrations but not others, and the tactics and strategies that police use to maintain public order. To that end, NIJ seeks applications for funding research projects addressing these two topics:

  • Police Strategies and Tactics to Respond to Violence and Maintain Order
  • The Role of Extremists in Fomenting Violence at Protests and Demonstrations
