The Office of Justice Programs’ National Institute of Justice (NIJ) held a webinar on May 26, 2026, to provide an overview of two Notice of Funding Opportunities that seek to support research and evaluation of emerging technology implementation and impact for law enforcement purposes and that advance the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the criminal justice system.

NIJ’s FY25 Research and Evaluation of Emerging Technology Implementation and Impact for Law Enforcement Purposes NOFO includes policies, trainings, operational and staffing issues; communications strategies associated with technology implementation; and impacts of technology implementation and use on public safety and agency budgets.

NIJ’s FY25 Research and Evaluation of Artificial Intelligence for Criminal Justice Purposes NOFO expects to fund studies that explore use cases in policing, corrections, courts, or other criminal justice adjacent areas to examine the suitability of using AI to solve operational problems, as well as evaluate the impacts and outcomes when integrated into criminal justice practice.

The presenters discussed program scope, eligibility, and application elements.
