NIJ has awarded $1 million to the John Jay College of Criminal Justice to bolster the research infrastructure and capabilities of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) within the criminal and youth justice fields.
The current disproportionate allocation of federal research funding for MSIs curtails their innovation potential and capacity for scholarly contributions in areas crucial for greater understanding of criminal justice, such as social factors contributing to crime and violence.
This award will address the immediate scientific funding and infrastructure gaps, and catalyze long-term, systemic change in the research landscape of MSIs and the field of criminal justice.
