Background
In its effort to support and encourage cross-national and
interagency partnerships devoted to producing and utilizing comparative
research on crime, the National Institute of Justice is soliciting
proposals for research on crime and criminal behavior of a cross-
national and comparative nature. NIJ intends to support up to five
research challenge grants to U.S. based researchers to conduct the U.S.
part of a comparative study, for a total of up to $500,000. Each
project supported by NIJ must have counterparts to conduct parallel
research outside of the United States. These counterparts may be
supported by the government agencies or departments, private non-profit
organizations, or universities of other nations. In this way, it is
anticipated that the first projects will initiate a new series of
cross-national research partnerships.
Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of ``NIJ
