Grant Description: 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. NIJ seeks applications for research and development leading to the adoption into practice of safer, more effective less lethal devices by law enforcement and corrections agencies. Such devices are designed for use by law enforcement and corrections officers when: . Lethal force is not appropriate. . Lethal force is justified, but lesser force may be effective. . Lethal force is justified, but its use could cause injury to bystanders or damage to property or the environment. Such devices may achieve the desired effect by temporarily incapacitating, confusing, or delaying an individual. NIJ is interested in both development of such devices and in necessary underlying research leading to such development.
