NIJ W.E.B. DuBois Fellowship Program (2006): 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. 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. The W.E.B. DuBois Fellowship Program seeks to advance the field of knowledge regarding the confluence of crime, justice, and culture in various societal contexts. DuBois Fellows will be asked to focus on policy-relevant questions in a manner that truly reflects their saliency as an integral part of the American past, present, and, increasingly, its future. The Fellowship places particular emphasis on crime, violence, and the administration of justice in diverse cultural contexts. DuBois Fellows will contribute to NIJs national criminal justice research program by studying topics of mutual interest to the Fellow and NIJ. Researchers from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. Fellows are encouraged to spend a period of residence at NIJ and to prepare reports suitable for publication by NIJ that summarize the results and policy implications of their research. NIJ will negotiate specific products with Fellows during the preaward period. Fellows also may be asked to: Participate in developing plans for nationally significant criminal justice research programs relating to the Fellows proposed research and field of expertise. Interact with NIJ staff and other Fellows. Develop and make presentations to inform and involve NIJs research and development community and program partners in discussion and interpretation of research findings and policy implications.
