The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is offering this grant for basic scientific research, aimed at developing and validating a risk assessment tool. This grant’s purpose is to create a tool for criminal and juvenile justice systems to estimate short-term (1-3 years) reoffense risk in juveniles with a history of sex offenses. The tool, which can be pre-existing or newly developed, must incorporate static, dynamic, and protective factors. It requires validation across up to four geographically diverse sites. This initiative supports the SMART Office’s mission to advance best practices in sex offender management.

| Description: | As part of a collaborative effort with and funding from the Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking (SMART), the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) seeks applications for funding basic scientific research in the development and validation of a risk assessment tool with both static and dynamic factors designed for use in criminal and juvenile justice systems to estimate the short-term risk that juveniles with a history of sex offenses may recommit sex offenses. This program furthers the SMART Offices mission to identify, promote and support best practices in the field of sex offender management. The risk assessment tool can (a) be available in the field of juvenile justice currently but not validated empirically; or (b) be developed for the purposes of this solicitation. The risk assessment tool should be validated in up to four sites that are geographically and demographically diverse, should include protective factors, and should be capable of estimating short-term risk of reoffending no more than 1 to 3 years into the future for juvenile sex offenders. |
