Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) FY 2010 Visiting Fellow National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) Design opportunity was a discretionary federal grant offered as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). BJS planned to make a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $200,000 and an award ceiling of $200,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding opportunity (No. 2010 BJS 2662) was posted on April 16, 2010, and it closed on June 11, 2010, with the archive date listed as July 11, 2010.
The purpose of the award was to bring in a highly experienced visiting fellow to support BJS in methodological work tied directly to redesigning the NCVS, the nation’s primary survey for measuring criminal victimization. The central work product was the development of a modular design for the NCVS Crime Incident Report questionnaire to be used in the redesigned survey. In practice, a modular questionnaire approach typically means structuring the incident report into clearly defined components (modules) that can be consistently administered, updated, tested, or swapped in and out without rewriting the entire instrument. This kind of redesign work is meant to improve measurement quality, reduce respondent burden where possible, and make the survey instrument more adaptable to evolving policy and research needs while preserving core trend measures.
A second major responsibility focused on the long-standing methodological challenge of repeat victimization, meaning situations where a respondent experiences multiple similar victimization events within a reference period. The visiting fellow was expected to conduct a thorough review of relevant research literature on how surveys handle repeated incidents, including issues such as recall error, telescoping, incident “bundling” by respondents, and the tradeoffs between capturing incident counts versus capturing incident detail. Building on that review, the fellow would then work collaboratively with the BJS program manager and staff to develop a practical strategy for addressing repeat victimization within the redesigned NCVS. This implies not only recommending an approach in theory, but shaping procedures and questionnaire logic that could be implemented operationally and defended on methodological grounds.
Eligibility was narrow and aimed at securing a top-level expert rather than a broad range of institutions. Applicants were limited to senior-level social science researchers and/or statisticians with extensive publication records on crime-related topics who were willing to commit a substantial portion of their time over an 18-month period. The structure as a cooperative agreement signaled that BJS anticipated active involvement in the project’s direction and deliverables, rather than a hands-off relationship typical of some grants, and that the fellow would work closely with agency staff throughout the redesign-focused research and development process.
For administrative and access questions, the announcement listed Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, as the contact (202-616-3561), and noted that assistance was available for applicants who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
