NIJ FY25 Research and Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence for Criminal Justice Purposes is sponsored by National Institute of Justice (USDOJ-OJP-NIJ). This funding opportunity supports research and evaluation that advances the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice system.
The goal is to enhance lawful decision-making and improve its accuracy and effectiveness through AI applications supporting crime prevention, public safety, and criminal justice systems. Research should explore both the benefits and limitations of AI, addressing potential risks and downstream impacts.
NIJ expects to fund studies that explore use cases in policing, corrections, courts, or other criminal justice adjacent areas to examine the suitability of using AI to solve operational problems, as well as evaluate the impacts and outcomes when integrated into criminal justice practice. Small businesses are eligible applicants.
