Information and Geospatial Technologies Center of Excellence

March 4, 2010 - The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is the research, development, and evaluation agency of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and a component of the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). NIJ provides objective, independent, evidence-based knowledge and tools to enhance the administration of justice and public safety, with an emphasis on the needs of state and local criminal justice agencies.

NIJ seeks qualified applicants to establish an Information and Geospatial Technologies Center of Excellence (“the Center”) within the NLECTC System to support the NIJ research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) process in its specific technology areas. The Center will support the NIJ RDT&E process by providing scientific and technical support to NIJ’s research and development efforts; supporting the demonstration, transfer, and adoption of appropriate technology into practice by law enforcement and corrections agencies, courts, and public crime laboratories; assisting in the development and dissemination of technology guidelines and standards; and providing technology assistance, information, and support to law enforcement and other appropriate criminal justice agencies. The Center will be established through a cooperative agreement.
