Moreover, applicants should anticipate that applications determined to be nonresponsive to the
scope of the solicitation, or that do not include the application elements that NIJ has designated
to be critical, will neither proceed to peer review nor receive further consideration. Under this
solicitation, NIJ has designated the following application elements as critical: Program Narrative,
Budget Detail Worksheet, Budget Narrative, and resumes/curriculum vitae of key personnel. For
purposes of this solicitation, “key personnel” means the principal investigator, and any and all
co-principal investigators.
OJP strongly recommends that applicants use appropriately descriptive file names (e.g.,
“Program Narrative,” “Budget Detail Worksheet and Budget Narrative,” “Timelines,”
“Memoranda of Understanding,” “Resumes”) for all attachments. Also, OJP recommends that
applicants include resumes in a single file.
1. Information to Complete the Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424)
The SF-424 is a required standard form used as a cover sheet for submission of pre-
applications, applications, and related information. Grants.gov and OJP’s Grants
Management System (GMS) take information from the applicant’s profile to populate the
fields on this form. When selecting "type of applicant," if the applicant is a for-profit entity,
select "For-Profit Organization" or "Small Business" (as applicable).
2. Project Abstract
The project abstract is a very important part of the application, and serves as an introduction
to the proposed project. NIJ uses the project abstract for a number of purposes, including
assignment of the application to an appropriate review panel. If the application is funded, the
project abstract typically will become public information and be used to describe the project.
Applications should include a high-quality project abstract that summarizes the proposed
project in 250-400 words. Project abstracts should be—
Written for a general public audience.
Submitted as a separate attachment with “Project Abstract” as part of its file name.
Single-spaced, using a standard 12-point font (Times New Roman) with 1-inch margins.
As a separate attachment, the project abstract will not count against the page limit for the
program narrative.
Project abstracts should follow the detailed template (including the detailed instructions as to
content) available at
3. Program Narrative
The program narrative section of the application should not exceed 30 double-spaced pages
in 12-point font with 1-inch margins. If included in the main body of the program narrative,
tables, charts, figures, and other illustrations count toward the 30-page limit for the narrative
section. The project abstract, table of contents, appendices, and government forms do not
count toward the 30-page limit.
