Applicants selected under the OST Predictive Policing Program solicitation will be required to collaborate with program evaluators to design and monitor the predictive policing models as they are developed, implemented, and rigorously evaluated.
Evaluation of the Statewide Automated Victim Information and Notification (SAVIN) Program (pdf)

Change to "Cost of Proposed Work": NIJ now anticipates that up to a total of $1.5 million may become available for an award made through this solicitation, changed from "up to $2 million" as stated in the original solicitation.

Funding through this solicitation is intended to support a national evaluation including State-level analyses of the SAVIN program leading to a promising practices toolkit to aid the continued development, implementation, and enhancement of comprehensive victim notification programs within individual States and territories. In addition to the evaluation focus, NIJ hopes to advance both theory and practice related to victims through this research.

This solicitation is aimed at developing existing partnerships, establishing new partnerships, and capturing significant lessons that have been learned through past and current researcher-practitioner partnerships.
