NIJ FY07 Evidence-Based Model Programs for Cold Case Units: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and public safety. NIJ solicits proposals to inform its search for the knowledge and tools to guide policy and practice. This solicitation marks the first step in a planned multi-year effort to build, evaluate, and improve the effectiveness of cold case investigations by local law enforcement agencies. This effort will identify current practices of police agencies conducting cold case investigations; develop evaluation criteria for assessing the effectiveness of these practices and approaches; construct alternative model programs and alternative program elements that agencies of various sizes could implement; and estimate the resource requirements implied by these model programs. This effort is designed to produce results that can inform a planned FY 2008 demonstration initiative.
