The National Institute of Justice (NIJ), part of the U.S. Department of Justice, issued a continuation grant opportunity titled "NIJ FY24 Domestic Radicalization and Violent Extremism - Invited to Apply" (Opportunity Number: O-NIJ-2024-171954; CFDA: 16.560). It is a research-focused solicitation under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category, and it is structured as an invited, continuation award rather than an open competition.

The purpose of the award is to support rigorous research that deepens understanding of domestic radicalization in the context of five far-right violent extremist groups. The project NIJ is seeking to fund is aimed at examining how radicalization occurs, what individual and environmental conditions may contribute to it, and how these processes unfold within or around specific extremist group contexts. A central deliverable is the development of an analytical framework that identifies risk factors and protective factors, including how combinations of those factors may interact to increase or decrease the likelihood of radicalization and violent extremism. The intent is to move beyond broad descriptions and toward a structured, evidence-based way to analyze pathways into radicalization and potential points of interruption.

NIJ emphasizes that the framework should be useful for advancing evidence-based prevention and intervention strategies. In practical terms, that means the research is expected to produce findings that can inform policies, programs, or operational approaches designed to reduce the likelihood of radicalization or violence, while also identifying conditions that may help protect individuals or communities from these outcomes. The solicitation aligns with Goal 2.2 of the DOJ FY 2022-2026 Strategic Plan, which focuses on countering foreign and domestic terrorism, and it is framed within DOJ's broader mission of upholding the rule of law, keeping the country safe, and protecting civil rights.

Administratively, this opportunity has an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $127,591. The original application deadline was February 2, 2024, and the opportunity was created on January 25, 2024. Eligible applicants are listed broadly as "Others," though the "Invited to Apply" and continuation designation strongly indicates it is intended for a specific recipient (in this case, Development Services Group, Inc., as referenced in the listing) rather than new applicants seeking to enter the competition.
