NIJ Seeking Applicants for W.E.B. Du Bois Research Program

The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) within the Department of Justice (DOJ) has solicited applications for the 2023 W.E.B. Du Bois Program of Research on Reducing Racial and Ethnic Disparities in the Justice System. The research program aims to identify public policy interventions to address racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system. NIJ has supported funding for the W.E.B. Du Bois Program since 2000, although the program was halted between 2018 and 2021. Two categories of researchers will be selected:

• W.E.B. Du Bois Scholars, who are advanced researchers and are eligible for research, evaluation, and mentoring grants.
• W.E.B. Du Bois Fellows, who are early-career researchers and are eligible for research and evaluation grants.

Applications are due April 24. More information is available on the NIJ website.
