W.E.B. Du Bois Program of Research on Crime (Webinar)

This NIJ webinar will educate applicants on the purpose of the FY 2018 W.E.B. Du Bois Program of Research on Crime solicitation and application requirements.

With this solicitation, NIJ seeks investigator-initiated proposals from two categories of researchers: (1) scholars who are advanced in their careers; and (2) fellows who are early in their careers.

The program supports research that places particular emphasis on the intersections of race, crime, violence, and the administration of justice within the United States.

The key goals of this webinar will be to:
- Highlight the solicitation purpose, goals, and expectations;
- Specify purpose area requirements;
- Provide a general overview of the application process;
- Identify tools and resources that will facilitate the application process;
- Explain the application review process;
- Discuss some of the common pitfalls and reasons applicants are not selected for funding; and
- Offer an opportunity for applicants to ask questions.

Webinar speakers:
- Dr. Nadine Frederiquie, Senior Social Science Analyst
- Christine Crossland, Senior Social Science Analyst
- Dr. Brett Chapman, Social Science Analyst
