The National Institute of Justice administers this FY25 research grant NOFO for emerging technology implementation and impact in law enforcement. The opportunity uses a two-stage concept-paper process and has USD 3,000,000 available as the total funding pool.
For-profit organizations, including small businesses, can apply directly alongside governments, universities, and nonprofits. The NOFO focuses on evaluation research rather than product procurement: projects should generate practical evidence on how law enforcement agencies implement emerging technologies and how those technologies affect operations, staffing, training, public safety, and budgets.
The captured cycle is closed as of June 24, 2026. The source describes a Grants.gov concept-paper stage followed by an invited full proposal stage for selected applicants.
Rigorous evaluations of emerging technology implementations for law enforcement, including operational impacts, staffing, training, communications strategies, public-safety effects, and agency budget impacts.
