We’re a few weeks away from NIJ’s 2023 National Research Conference and we’ve received a phenomenal amount of interest in the conference! I am pleased to share that we have awarded 25 students with travel scholarships from a pool of 181 applicants and we have also selected 51 poster presentations, 30 of which were submitted by graduate students.
The conference agenda, complete with abstracts and a list of participants, is now available for attendees to start planning their schedules. I recognize, however, that since we’ve reached registration capacity not everyone will be able join us. The good news is that all conference plenaries will be recorded and widely disseminated after the conference.
Here’s a list of the plenary sessions by title:
• Embodying Evidence to Action: Tracking the Impact of Three Key NIJ Research Investments:
• DNA for Case Clearances and Wrongful Convictions
• Body Armor Standards: Saving Officers’ Lives
• Spatial Analyses of Crime: Promoting Community-based Safety
• Inclusive Research: How Engaging People Closest to the Issue Makes for Better Science and Greater Impact
• De-escalation Training: What Works, Implementation Lessons, and Taking It to Scale
• Can Science Enhance Equity? Findings and Implications From a Study To Detect Bruising on Victims With Dark Skin Pigmentation
