Opportunity Information: Apply for O NIJ 2022 171374
The NIJ FY 2022 Invited to Apply grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number O-NIJ-2022-171374) is a continuation grant offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, through the National Institute of Justice. It is a small, targeted award designed to support a very specific function: operating the Secretariat for ISO/IEC JTC 1 Subcommittee 37 (SC 37). SC 37 is the international standards subcommittee focused on biometrics within the broader ISO/IEC information technology standards structure, and the Secretariat role generally involves the administrative and coordination work that keeps the international standards program moving (for example, managing documentation and workflows, supporting meetings, coordinating ballots, and facilitating communication among participating national bodies and technical experts).
The solicitation is framed within OJP priorities that emphasize civil rights and racial equity, access to justice, victim support, community safety, protection from evolving threats, and strengthening trust between law enforcement and the community. In practice, the connection to these priorities is that biometric technologies and the standards that govern them can have real consequences for fairness, accountability, and public confidence, especially when they are used in justice and public safety contexts. By funding the Secretariat function for SC 37, NIJ is supporting the infrastructure needed to develop and maintain high-quality international technical standards, which can influence how biometric systems are designed, tested, documented, and implemented.
This opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it uses the grant funding instrument. The CFDA number listed is 16.560. It was released on June 23, 2022, with an original application deadline of June 30, 2022, indicating a short turnaround typical of an invited-to-apply or continuation action where the applicant pool is limited and the work is ongoing. The expected number of awards is one, and the award ceiling is $50,000, reinforcing that this is not a broad competitive program but rather a narrowly scoped funding action intended to maintain continuity of Secretariat operations.
Eligibility is listed as "Others" with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt), which commonly signals that NIJ expected a specific organization or type of organization already positioned to perform the Secretariat duties. The statutory authorities cited for the award include Title I of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 (sections 201 and 202), relevant sections of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (sections 231-233 and 235), and 28 U.S.C. 530C, which together provide DOJ the legal basis to support justice-related science and technology activities, including standards coordination that affects public safety and homeland security capabilities.
In short, the grant funds the behind-the-scenes operational work required to run the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 37 Secretariat, helping ensure that international biometric standards development remains organized, timely, and effective, with the broader aim of supporting trustworthy and interoperable technology practices that can impact justice and public safety outcomes.Apply for O NIJ 2022 171374
