Opportunity Summary:
The "2010 Visiting Fellow Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2010 BJS 2758) was a discretionary Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) grant offered as a cooperative agreement under the Information and Statistics activity area. It was designed to support one visiting fellow for a 12-month period to strengthen BJS capacity related to a national arrestee drug use monitoring program, commonly associated with Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring-type efforts. The emphasis of the award was not on launching a new data collection from scratch, but on improving the methodological foundation and practical usefulness of an existing or ongoing national monitoring approach by applying advanced research and statistical expertise.
The core work expected from the fellow centered on three major responsibilities. First, the fellow would conduct methodological research aimed at enhancing BJS's ability to improve a national arrestee drug use monitoring program, which implies developing or refining sampling strategies, measurement approaches, data quality procedures, weighting and estimation techniques, and other design features that affect the reliability and comparability of findings across sites and over time. Second, the fellow would perform statistical analyses of existing data to increase their utility, meaning the fellow would dig into already-collected datasets to produce stronger estimates, identify limitations or biases, improve analytic documentation, and potentially develop recommended best practices for making the data more actionable for policy, research, and operational decisions. Third, the fellow would serve in an advisory capacity to BJS staff on current issues in the substantive area, which includes staying current with developments at the intersection of drug use and crime, helping interpret findings in context, and providing guidance on emerging methodological or analytic issues relevant to arrestee drug monitoring.
Funding for the opportunity was up to an estimated total of $200,000, with an award ceiling of $200,000 and no stated award floor. BJS anticipated making a single award, reflecting the visiting fellow model where the program funds one highly qualified expert rather than multiple project teams. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which typically lowers barriers for individual researchers or institutions supporting the fellow, since applicants would not need to provide a financial match.
Eligibility was restricted to experienced, mid- and senior-level professionals: social science researchers and/or statisticians, epidemiologists, or biostatisticians who had already made significant contributions to drug- and crime-related research. This framing signals that BJS was looking for an established track record in rigorous quantitative or epidemiological methods and a substantive understanding of drug use and criminal justice populations, rather than early-career applicants or organizations without demonstrated expertise. While the listing uses "Others" as a general category, the specific eligibility language clarifies that the primary qualifying factor was the applicant's professional standing and contributions to the field.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on May 13, 2010, with an application closing date of June 29, 2010, and it was archived on July 29, 2010. The CFDA number attached to the opportunity was 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), which aligns with BJS's role in producing national criminal justice statistics and improving statistical programs and data infrastructure. Questions or access issues related to the full announcement were directed to Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at 202-616-3561.
In practical terms, this grant functioned like an embedded expert role funded through a cooperative agreement, meaning BJS likely expected close coordination during the fellowship. The end value to BJS would be stronger methods, better statistical use of existing arrestee drug data, and timely expert advice that could influence program design decisions, analytic products, and the broader direction of national arrestee drug monitoring efforts.
