MCRIC RFP Solicitation Invites Proposals from the Maryland Research Community
The Maryland Crime Research and Innovation Center (MCRIC) at the University of Maryland draws upon academic research expertise to develop and evaluate innovative criminal justice strategies aimed at reducing and preventing crime to benefit Maryland citizens. Launched in 2018 with support from the Governor’s Office of Crime Control & Prevention (GOCCP), MCRIC supports interdisciplinary projects that align with GOCCP’s efforts to prevent and reduce crime, drawing from research expertise from across the Maryland academic community.
A particular focus for MCRIC is to develop research-informed, data-driven methodologies and strategies for crime prevention and reduction, and to help foster data sharing, collaboration, and cooperation among partner organizations, agencies, and stakeholders across Maryland. MCRIC invites proposals from the Maryland research community to engage in one of three data projects.
