Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) grant opportunity titled "2012 Visiting Fellows Criminal Justice Statistics Programs" invited applications from highly experienced researchers to serve as BJS Visiting Fellows for a 12-month period. The central aim was to fund scholars who would use existing BJS datasets to produce rigorous, policy-relevant analyses and deliver a publishable-quality report based on their findings. In addition to generating new research, the fellowship was designed to strengthen and inform BJS statistical programs by bringing senior-level external expertise directly into BJS work involving criminal justice statistics.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary award and used a cooperative agreement funding instrument, meaning recipients would be expected to work in close coordination with BJS rather than operate in a fully independent grant structure. The program fell under the "Information and Statistics" activity category and was associated with CFDA number 16.734, "Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies." BJS emphasized that the fellows would work with existing BJS data collections, underscoring that the focus was on analysis and scholarly use of established datasets rather than creating new primary data collection efforts.
Eligibility was narrowly defined. Applicants had to be senior-level social science researchers and/or statisticians with an extensive publication record on crime-related topics. The announcement also required that applicants be willing to commit a substantial portion of their time over the 12-month fellowship period to conduct analyses and produce a report of publishable quality. While the listing indicates eligible applicants as "Others," the eligibility text clarifies that the intent was to support accomplished individual experts rather than a broad range of organizations or early-career researchers.
In terms of funding scale and timing, BJS anticipated making up to six awards, with an award ceiling of $150,000 per award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which meant applicants were not required to provide additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was posted on May 11, 2012, and the application deadline was June 25, 2012, with an archive date of July 25, 2012. The funding opportunity number was BJS 2012 3337, and the administering agency was the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The legal authority cited for the program was section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which authorizes BJS to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with a wide range of entities, including public agencies, higher education institutions, private organizations, and private individuals, for the purpose of collecting and analyzing criminal justice statistics. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full program announcement, the contact listed was Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst at BJS, reachable by phone at 202-307-5992.
