Research Meetings and Workshops
NIJ learns from the people who work day-to-day with the issues. We sponsor meetings, workshops and working groups that bring together researchers, policymakers, technologists and practitioners.
These meetings generate a rich exchange of ideas. They guide future research and help ensure that NIJ's research, development and evaluation activities meet real-world needs.
