The projects include only currently active intramural research conducted by NIJ staff and currently active extramural research conducted through grants, interagency and cooperative agreements, contracts, and fellowships.

Subcategories include drugs and crime, residential drug treatment, violence, community policing, crime mapping, arrestee drug abuse monitoring, firearms, corrections, courts, law enforcement family support, community policing technology, DNA, National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Centers, and less-than-lethal technology. The listing for each project includes the title, institution, project director, number, and purpose.
