Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 National Inmate Survey (NIS) grant opportunity is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) discretionary funding announcement aimed at supporting the administration of a national survey that measures the prevalence of sexual assault within correctional facilities. The work centers on conducting the NIS using an Audio Computer Assisted Self Interview (ACASI) approach, where incarcerated individuals privately respond to standardized questions via a computer-assisted format designed to improve reporting on sensitive topics. The key outcome of the project is facility-level estimates of sexual assault prevalence, meaning the survey is structured to produce results that can be attributed to individual prisons, jails, or juvenile facilities rather than only broad national totals.
This solicitation is issued under the National Prison Rape Statistics Program (NPRS), which is described as a recurring survey series. NPRS is intended to consistently collect and analyze data on sexual victimization affecting people held across multiple parts of the correctional system, including federal and state prisons, local jails, and juvenile facilities, and also extending to former inmates. In practical terms, this places the 2009 NIS within an ongoing federal statistical effort to track and understand sexual assault in confinement settings over time, using repeatable methods that allow comparisons across facility types and across survey cycles.
BJS expects to make a single award under this opportunity, structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the funding agency anticipates substantial involvement in the project, such as collaboration on methodological decisions, data collection protocols, or reporting expectations. The project period is anticipated to be 24 months, which reflects the scale of planning, coordination with correctional facilities, fieldwork operations, data processing, and analysis needed to successfully administer a survey of this kind.
Eligibility is broad and includes both nonprofit and for-profit (commercial) organizations, with an important restriction for for-profit applicants: consistent with Office of Justice Programs (OJP) fiscal rules, a for-profit organization may not earn a profit from the award and may not charge a management fee for performing the work. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number 2008 BJS 1890 and is categorized under the Information and Statistics funding activity area. It lists an expected number of awards as one and is associated with CFDA number 16.739 (National Prison Rape Statistics Program). The posting and creation dates are May 20, 2008, and the closing date is May 29, 2008, with an archive date of June 28, 2009. For applicants or interested parties who need help obtaining the full announcement, the contact listed is Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-616-3561.
