Opportunity Summary:
This Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funding opportunity, titled "Methodological Research to Support the Redesign of the National Crime Victimization Survey Sub National Estimates" (Funding Opportunity Number 2010 BJS 2664), is a discretionary cooperative agreement aimed at supporting a large-scale methodological research effort connected to the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). The central purpose is to design and conduct a major companion survey and use it to develop, evaluate, and test survey methods that can reliably produce sub-national (that is, below the national level) estimates of crime victimization from survey responses. In practical terms, the project is about figuring out what methodological changes, additional sampling, or alternative estimation approaches are needed so that NCVS-based victimization estimates can be generated for smaller geographic areas or jurisdictions with acceptable statistical precision and validity.
The solicitation sits within the "Information and Statistics" activity category and is tied to CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). BJS planned to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1), reflecting the scale and integrated nature of the work. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling were both listed as $16,000,000, indicating that BJS anticipated one substantial project rather than multiple smaller grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. That matters because cooperative agreements generally involve substantial federal involvement during the life of the project, such as ongoing collaboration, review, or coordination with BJS on design decisions, milestones, and deliverables. For a project centered on redesign and methodological testing for a major national survey program, this structure signals that BJS expected close coordination to ensure the methods tested are aligned with NCVS operational realities and BJS statistical standards.
Eligibility was broad but defined. Eligible applicants included for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortiums. A specific emphasis was placed on applicants with demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, explicitly including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortiums. At the same time, the opportunity noted a standard Office of Justice Programs fiscal restriction: for-profit organizations could apply, but they could not earn a profit from the award or charge a management fee for performing the work. This requirement is common in certain federal assistance awards and is meant to ensure federal funds support project costs rather than profit-taking.
Key dates show the opportunity moved quickly. It was posted on April 16, 2010, with an original closing date of June 11, 2010, later extended to June 18, 2010. The archive date was July 11, 2010, meaning the solicitation was no longer active after that point. The creation date is listed as June 10, 2010, which often reflects an internal record or update timing in the posting system rather than the first public availability.
In terms of what applicants were being asked to do, the scope centers on methodological research and fielding a major survey that complements the NCVS. The goal is not simply to collect more data for its own sake, but to use that data collection effort as a testbed for approaches that could enable credible sub-national victimization estimates. This typically implies work such as experimenting with sampling designs, assessing small-area estimation strategies, evaluating survey mode or contact protocols, testing questionnaire elements related to local estimation, and documenting how different methods affect measurement quality, response rates, costs, and statistical reliability at smaller geographic levels. The emphasis on "develop and test" signals a research-and-demonstration orientation: BJS was looking for evidence about what works, under real survey conditions, to support a redesign of NCVS estimation capabilities.
