Opportunity Summary:
The 2013 Visiting Fellow Criminal Justice Statistics Programs opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BJS 2013 3593) was a discretionary Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) program offered through a cooperative agreement to support one or more visiting fellows conducting research within BJS Criminal Justice Statistics Programs. The central idea was to place experienced researchers in a position to make strong scholarly and policy-relevant use of existing BJS data collections, while also producing work that could directly enhance, refine, or inform BJS statistical programs. In practical terms, the fellowship was designed to encourage deeper analysis of BJS datasets, expand the body of research that relies on these national statistics, and generate outputs that could be translated into publishable findings and improved federal statistical products.
The program anticipated making up to three awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $150,000. It was listed under CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies) and categorized in the information and statistics activity area. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving support. The posting date and creation date were both April 5, 2013, with an original and current closing date of May 21, 2013, and an archive date of June 20, 2013.
Eligibility was focused on individual applicants rather than institutions, and it targeted researchers with a nationally recognized portfolio and substantial expertise in the proposed topic area. The fellowship expectation was a significant time commitment over at least a 12-month period. The work to be performed centered on analyzing existing BJS data or contributing to BJS statistical program development, with a clear deliverable requirement: fellows were expected to produce at least one publishable-quality report summarizing their analyses. While the opportunity referenced BJS authority under Section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements/contracts with a broad range of entities and individuals for collecting and analyzing criminal justice statistics, this specific announcement emphasized individuals with demonstrated research credentials who could use BJS data to generate rigorous, policy-relevant findings.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-307-5992.
