Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJS 2024 172139
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is offering a continuation, cooperative agreement supplement titled "BJS FY24 National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) Estimation Project Supplement - Invited to Apply" (Funding Opportunity Number O-BJS-2024-172139). The purpose of this award is to provide additional funding to support ongoing technical and methodological work behind BJS's national crime estimates that are produced using the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). This opportunity is focused on strengthening and expanding the statistical procedures that turn NIBRS incident-level submissions into reliable national estimates of crimes known to law enforcement across the United States.
A key driver behind this supplement is the shift to NIBRS as the sole data source for national "crimes known to law enforcement" estimates. BJS released the first set of national estimates using this newer NIBRS-based methodology in September 2022, which was a milestone because it marked the first time the estimates were not relying on the older summary-based reporting system. Because NIBRS is more detailed and the national transition to it is still evolving, BJS is emphasizing continued development work to ensure the estimation methods remain sound, transparent, and stable over time.
The work supported by this funding is described as three broad categories. First, it includes system maintenance activities, meaning continued upkeep and refinement of the processes, pipelines, and supporting infrastructure used to produce the national estimates. Second, it includes additional estimation development, which points to further methodological research and enhancements to the statistical approaches used to account for varying participation, reporting completeness, and other factors that affect how incident-based data can be scaled to national levels. Third, it includes assessment of data for indicators that were not part of the initial "Year One" estimates, suggesting BJS wants to evaluate the feasibility and quality of producing estimates for additional measures beyond what was included in the first release.
This is a continuation opportunity and appears to be an invited supplement, with RTI International named in the description, indicating it is intended for the current project partner rather than a broad open competition. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BJS expects substantial involvement in project direction, coordination, and deliverables rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The activity category is Information and Statistics under CFDA 16.734, aligning with BJS's role as the federal statistical agency for criminal justice data.
Administratively, the opportunity was created on 2024-05-20 and had an original closing date of 2024-05-23, reflecting a short application window consistent with an invited, continuation supplement. BJS expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $2,545,928. Eligible applicants are listed as "Others," but given the continuation and invited language, the practical eligibility is aimed at the existing awardee supporting the NIBRS estimation project.Apply for O BJS 2024 172139
