National Victimization Statistical Support Program

(Solicitation)
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) seeks an agent to implement the National
Victimization Statistical Support Program (NVSSP) project, which is designed to
provide scientific and technical support for statistical and methodological
research, statistical analyses, documentation, and dissemination related to BJS work
on crime and victimization. Specifically, the NVSSP will support general
methodological research related to improving the utility and cost effectiveness of
BJS’s National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), including the continued
development of the NCVS subnational estimation program; efforts to improve the
efficiency of the survey mode and sample design; efforts to enhance the ability to
measure emerging crime trends and other issues related to contact with and use of
the criminal and civil justice system; and continued research on improving the
measurement of sensitive crime types and topics, including rape, sexual assault, and
intimate partner violence. BJS intends to fund the NVSSP project through a
cooperative agreement for a 3-year period.
Applicants must register with Grants.gov prior to submitting an application. All applications are due by 11:59 p.m. eastern time on July 24, 2017.
