Background

    The National Institute of Justice, in partnership with the Office 
of Community Oriented Policing Services, announces its solicitation for 
a fourth year of research and evaluation on community oriented 
policing. For this solicitation NIJ is particularly interested in 
efforts that build on and consolidate existing research findings 
pertaining to community oriented policing, especially those research 
efforts that seek to advance theory in these areas. Researchers are 
encouraged to look beyond current practices and propose research that 
forges new concepts and theories. Major topic areas of interest 
include: community policing evaluations, community policing 
organizational issues, the police and the community, problem solving 
strategies and tactics for community policing, locally-initiated 
partnerships, the impact of technology on policing, and how crime is 
measured.
    The NIJ/COPS partnership anticipates granting multiple awards 
totaling up to $8 million under this solicitation.
    Interested organizations should call the National Criminal Justice 
Reference Service (NCJRS) at 1-800-851-3420 to obtain a copy of 
``Solicitation for Policing Research and Evaluation: Fiscal Year 1998''
