Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2017 11480
The National Victimization Statistical Support Program (NVSSP) is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) cooperative agreement opportunity focused on strengthening the federal governments ability to produce, improve, and expand national statistics on criminal victimization. At its core, the project is meant to provide sustained scientific and technical support that helps BJS modernize and refine the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which is one of the primary national data sources for measuring crime experienced by people and households, including incidents that may never be reported to police. The overall intent is not only to support a specific set of analyses, but to create a strong methodological and analytical backbone for BJS as it redesigns the NCVS and uses that survey more strategically in the future.
The opportunity lays out three main functions for the NVSSP. First, it calls for rigorous statistical and methodological research tied directly to the NCVS redesign. That includes developing and testing improvements to survey methods, conducting statistical analyses that help evaluate design choices, producing technical documentation, and supporting dissemination so that results are usable by BJS and understandable to stakeholders. In practical terms, this is about making sure changes to the survey are evidence-based, carefully measured, and transparently documented, since design changes can affect trend lines and the comparability of estimates across years.
Second, NVSSP is meant to enhance BJS statistical reporting that draws from the NCVS and from other federal victimization-related data sources. This emphasis signals that the awardee is expected to help BJS broaden and strengthen its publications and statistical products, potentially by integrating findings across datasets, improving analytic approaches, and producing clearer, more policy-relevant reporting. The focus is on victimization statistics, so the work supports BJSs role in producing national indicators and analyses about who is victimized, under what circumstances, and how victimization patterns change over time.
Third, the program supports BJS in using NCVS data to guide longer-term decisions about the design and content of its overall victimization statistics portfolio. This piece is forward-looking: beyond immediate redesign tasks and near-term publications, BJS is aiming to use the NCVS as a tool for strategic planning about what topics to measure, how to measure them, and how to ensure the program keeps pace with emerging crime and victimization issues. The stated goal is to increase the breadth of substantive issues addressed with the NCVS in both the short run and the longer term, meaning the work may include scoping new content areas, assessing measurement feasibility, and developing approaches that allow the survey to cover a wider range of victimization-related topics without sacrificing data quality.
Administratively, this is a discretionary federal award issued by the Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which typically implies substantial ongoing involvement by the agency in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Information and Statistics, and the CFDA number listed is 16.734. The opportunity number is BJS 2017 11480. BJS expected to make one award, with an award ceiling of $4,000,000. The posting indicates a creation date of June 22, 2017, and an original closing date of July 24, 2017. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full opportunity text, which usually means interested applicants need to consult the official notice to confirm whether particular organizations (such as research institutions, nonprofits, or other entities) qualify.
Taken together, NVSSP is essentially a large, single-award effort to provide high-level statistical, methodological, analytic, and communication support to BJS during a major modernization phase for the NCVS, while also improving the quality and reach of national victimization reporting and helping shape the future direction of federal victimization measurement.Apply for BJS 2017 11480
