Who is eligible for NIJ awards?
Generally, NIJ provides funding to educational institutions, public agencies, nonprofit organizations, faith-based organizations, individuals, and profitmaking organizations willing to waive their fees. Some solicitations have special eligibility criteria, which are defined in the solicitation. Non-U.S. entities are not eligible for awards. All grant awards are made to U.S. institutions. Where appropriate, however, a U.S. grantee may subcontract with a non-U.S. institution or individual for work necessary to complete project tasks. Such subcontracting is usually anticipated and included in the original grant proposal.
