Gender Dysphoria and Violent Crime Research Service

The National Institute of Justice seeks proposals for research on gender dysphoria and violent crime. The recipient must conduct secondary data analyses to estimate the prevalence, characteristics, demographic patterns, and offense types of violent crime among individuals with gender dysphoria, while analyzing associations with diagnoses, treatments, comorbid conditions, victim-offender overlap, and contextual factors. The opportunity is open to onshore, USA-only organizations. Applicants must complete a two-step application process by submitting the SF-424 in Grants.gov by November 23, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, followed by the full application in JustGrants by November 30, 2026, at 8:59 p.m. ET. Required application components include the SF-424, Standard Applicant Information, a double-spaced Proposal Narrative, a web-based Budget Detail Worksheet, Biographical Sketch forms, Current and Pending Support common forms, and a Research and Evaluation Independence and Integrity attachment. The budget accounts for 15% of the total application score and must detail cost computations and justifications.
