Opportunity Summary:
The 2016 Graduate Research Fellowship Program for Criminal Justice Statistics is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funding opportunity designed to support advanced doctoral research that relies on criminal justice data or statistical methods and addresses topics such as crime, violence, and other criminal justice system issues. Rather than funding students directly, the program funds accredited, degree-granting universities that offer research-based doctoral programs. Those institutions apply on behalf of a sponsored doctoral student who is far enough along in their program to be considered in the final stages of graduate study and who shows strong potential to successfully complete the doctorate in a discipline aligned with BJS's mission.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement (listed as a grant instrument in the opportunity details), meaning BJS expects an active partnership role as the research moves forward. Each fellowship can support up to three years of funding, and that support is flexible in timing because it can be used across a five-year window. For each year of support, BJS provides the institution two main types of funds: a 35,000 stipend that can be applied toward the student's salary and related costs, plus up to 15,000 for the student's tuition and fees, research expenses, and other related costs. Over three years, the potential maximum aligns with the posted award ceiling of 225,000, reflecting the upper bound for a full fellowship package administered through the university.
Administratively, this is a discretionary federal opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics (USDOJ-OJP-BJS), under CFDA number 16.734 and in the funding activity category of Information and Statistics. The opportunity number is BJS 2016 9013. BJS anticipated making about five awards under this solicitation. The posting and creation dates were March 10, 2016, and the application deadline (original and current) was May 2, 2016, indicating a relatively short application window typical of many annual fellowship-style competitions.
In practical terms, the program is meant to strengthen the national pipeline of researchers who can work with criminal justice datasets, produce rigorous statistical analysis, and contribute evidence that informs policy and practice. It targets doctoral candidates who are close enough to completion to produce near-term, publishable research outputs while still benefiting from structured fellowship support administered through their university.
