SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority

    This action is authorized under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe

(1994).

Background

    NIJ seeks proposals to use the ADAM program to conduct research 
using primary data collection or secondary data analysis and to foster 
research on the development of the ADAM program itself.
    It is anticipated that up to five grants will be awarded. Available 
funding is $750,000 with $250,000 set aside to address issues 
concerning violence against women through the use of ADAM data.
    The FY 1999 ADAM Research Grant offers an opportunity to use an 
ongoing Federally-supported and locally-implemented data collection 
system to investigate questions on a wide range of issues including: 
drug abuse and drug control policy, criminal behavior and law 
enforcement, domestic violence and sexual assault, social services and 
public health, job market and other economic concerns, and methods of 
drug use surveyance and other sensitive topics.
    Research sponsored through this solicitation will be executed 
through data collection at the 35 ADAM sites. Secondary analysis of 
existing ADAM data that furthers methodological advancement may also be 
supported. The solicitation is open to current ADAM site management 
staff as well as other investigators who are able to establish an 
acceptable working relationship with the site management team. Research 
using primary data collection will be executed at the 35 ADAM sites and 
the applicant must obtain access to the arrestees through ADAM site 
management in order to ensure that relations with the local jail 
facility are not disturbed and that normal ADAM data collection is not 
significantly disrupted.
    For more information on the ADAM program refer to the ADAM website

    Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice 
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of
