Due Date: January 21, 2009
Summary: The purpose of this program is to further the knowledge of the confluence of crime, justice, and culture in various societal contexts that have direct implications for criminal justice policy and practice in the United States. The program strives to achieve this goal by supporting a talented researcher early in their career to elevate independently generated research and ideas to a national level of discussion. Grants are usually 12 months in duration. The Du Bois Fellowship places particular emphasis on crime, violence, and the administration of justice in diverse cultural contexts within the United States. Researchers may choose from, but are not limited to, the following list of broad topic areas:
• Immigration, crime, and victimization
• Trafficking in human beings
• Transnational crime
• Police-community relations
• Courts, sentencing, and corrections
• Civil rights
• Ethnographic studies
Fellowship grants are typically 12 months in duration. Fellows may propose to serve a period of the Fellowship in residence at NIJ, and may be asked to participate in a number of additional program activities.
Eligible Applicants: Researchers from all academic disciplines are encouraged to apply. Due to the nature of this Fellowship, NIJ strongly encourages applicants with diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
Award Amount: $75,000. It is anticipated that one award will be made nationally.
