This NIJ grant supports rigorous evaluations of programs designed to reduce gang membership, crime, and violence for adults and juveniles. Gang-related issues have steadily increased since 2000, straining community resources and demanding evidence-based solutions. While many multi-strategy programs exist, their true efficacy often remains unproven. NIJ seeks proposals for process and outcome evaluations, employing the most rigorous methods, on existing gang prevention and/or intervention initiatives. This funding aims to provide communities with vital data to effectively combat persistent gang challenges.

| Description: | NIJ is seeking proposals to conduct process and outcome evaluations on programs aimed at reducing gang membership and gang-related crime and violence for both adults and juveniles. Since 2000, there has been a steady increase in gang membership and in gang-related crime and violence (Dinkes, Cataldi, Kena et al., 2006). Faced with increasingly limited resources, many communities are struggling to address this problem. Although there are numerous multi-strategy, community-level programs attempting to address gang issues, there is a need for rigorous evaluations to determine program efficacy. NIJ seeks evaluations—using the most appropriate and rigorous methods—that examine gang prevention and/or intervention programs. |
