Awards Support 15 School Districts

As part of the Comprehensive School Safety Initiative, NIJ has awarded nearly $63 million to school districts and research organizations. Twenty-four research projects receive funding under two different solicitations. The first, “Investigator-Initiated Research,” includes nine awards to research organizations totaling more than $18 million. The second, “Developing Knowledge About What Works to Make Schools Safe,” provides more than $45 million to 15 school districts and their research partners.

By determining what safety interventions work best for specific schools and students, this research will provide professionals with a body of knowledge to help them make decisions about which programs are most effective—and most cost effective—for their particular schools and their challenges.
