The Law Enforcement Advancing Data and Science (LEADS) Scholars programs are designed to increase the in-house research capabilities of law enforcement agencies by building data and research skills of individuals employed by and engaged with these agencies.
Those who are selected for these programs will have the opportunity to attend the 2023 International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) conference with all travel, accommodation, and per diem costs associated covered by NIJ, among other professional development benefits.
LEADS Scholars are encouraged to pursue projects that directly respond to the priority needs of their agency. This program does not include direct funding to support original research. However, LEADS participants will regularly be exposed to multiple federal resources and programs with relevance to your agency, including such entities as the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office).
Review the updated eligibility and expectations for applying and apply by May 1, 2023, 11:59 PM EST.
