SUMMARY: The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) is soliciting 
information for use in an upcoming Criminal Justice Testing and 
Evaluation Consortium (CJTEC) report that will provide a landscape view 
of application software for mental health and wellness in the law 
enforcement community. The report will highlight the vendors/developers 
creating mental health and wellness application software products 
(apps) directed to law enforcement end users and other first 
responders. The report will also consider these mental health and 
wellness apps in terms of the broader context of the rapidly evolving 
marketplace for fitness and health and wellness products for consumer 
and medical applications.

DATES: Emailed responses must be received (and mailed responses 
postmarked) by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on May 10, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Responses to this request may be submitted electronically by 
email to Blaide Woodburn at [email protected] with the 
subject line ``Law Enforcement Mental Health and Wellness Application 
Software Market Survey Federal Register Response.'' Responses may also 
be sent by mail to the following address: Criminal Justice Testing and 
Evaluation Consortium (CJTEC), ATTN: Blaide Woodburn, Law Enforcement

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Information sought: CJTEC is seeking information on products, such 
as application software and other technologies, that can help the law 
enforcement community monitor and manage their own mental health and 
wellness. Specifically, the team is seeking technologies that fit one 
or more of these categories:

 Products specifically developed for the use of the law 
enforcement and criminal justice community
 Products specifically developed for first responders or 
individuals in analogous high-stress work environments
 Products designed as consumer/corporate mental health and 
wellness tools but are applicable to the law enforcement community

    Usage: Information provided in response to this request may be 
published in a landscape report on mental health and wellness 
application software for law enforcement. This RFI is intended to 
solicit important general information from product developers, which 
may lead to later discussions to help complete a technical 
specifications table about the product that will be referenced in the 
report.
    CJTEC is seeking a response from technology vendors/developers that 
includes:

1. Name and description of product
2. The type of product (application software or other technology-
enabled solution)
3. Who this product was created for (law enforcement/criminal justice 
community, first responders, general employees, or other)
4. Overview of product features and literature supporting concepts 
behind the application software
5. Research studies on efficacy of the application software
6. User testimonials
7. Photo/screenshot of the product
8. Contact information for a future conversation (name, role, email, 
phone number)

    An independent response should be submitted for each product that 
respondents would like CJTEC to consider in their landscape report. NIJ 
encourages respondents to provide information in common file formats, 
such as Microsoft Word, pdf, or plain text. Each response should 
include contact information.

Acting Director and Principal Deputy Director, National Institute of
