Team Fit

None of the team members have relevant skills or interests in criminal justice technology testing or evaluation, making this opportunity a poor fit for the team.

AI Summary

This opportunity focuses on funding for the Criminal Justice Technology Testing and Evaluation Center, aimed at evaluating technologies for the criminal justice sector.

Scoring Rationale

The opportunity does not align well with the team's skills, as it primarily involves testing and evaluation of technologies in the criminal justice field, which is outside the team's expertise. The focus on compliance testing and standards development does not match any of the team's interests or skills.

Full Description

This funding opportunity seeks to continue funding the Criminal Justice Technology Testing and Evaluation Center (CJTTEC). The Center provides testing, evaluation, and other activities to support the safety, effectiveness, efficiency, and efficacy of technologies in use or adaptable by criminal justice and juvenile justice communities. The Center informs NIJ’s research and development efforts as well as NIJ’s stakeholders, including criminal justice practitioners, policymakers, researchers, federal partners, and private industry, by: (1) conducting secondary research on technologies and technology implementation for potential use by criminal justice communities; (2) performing experimental testing and evaluation on technologies to inform potential adoption by criminal justice agencies; (3) conducting experimental or rigorous quasi-experimental research and evaluation of technology implementation by criminal justice agencies; (4) administering the NIJ Compliance Testing Program (CTP); and (5) supporting the development, validation, and maintenance of criminal justice equipment standards.
