| The National Institute of Justice
and the Ukrainian Academy of Law Sciences are currently
engaged in a multi year initiative entitled, "Creating
New Partnerships: Linking Research and Practice in the United
States and Ukraine to Respond to the Challenges of
Crime."
This partnership program is part of an interagency
agreement with the Bureau for International Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Affairs of the Department of State. The overall
program is constructed along three dimensions:
Internet Grants program that will build the technical
capacity and infrastructure required for research;
Experience Exchange program, that will assess the fit
between U.S. law enforcement training and assistance efforts
and Ukrainian practitioner needs;
Research Partnership program, in which U.S. and Ukraine
research teams will collaboratively study five high priority
crime areas that affect both countries: organized
crime, corruption, drug trafficking, human trafficking and
economic crimes.
