Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 15 Secondary Analysis of the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS) Data opportunity was a discretionary grant program from the U.S. Department of Justice, National Institute of Justice (NIJ), focused on funding research that re-analyzes already-collected national survey data rather than collecting new data. The core purpose was to support secondary statistical analyses of the 2010 NISVS dataset to deepen understanding of intimate partner violence (IPV), sexual violence (SV), and stalking, including how often these harms occur, what forms they take, and how patterns differ across populations. A major motivation behind the solicitation was the recognized need for a durable national surveillance approach that produces frequent, consistent, and reliable estimates using standardized definitions and methods so trends can be tracked over time rather than relying on fragmented or inconsistent measures.
The NISVS itself was created by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), specifically the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC), in collaboration with NIJ and the Department of Defense (DOD). That interagency collaboration mattered because it tied public health surveillance expertise to justice-system research priorities and to the distinct needs of military and other federally relevant populations. The solicitation highlights that this coordinated federal effort was driven by gaps in what the government and researchers could confidently say about IPV, SV, and stalking in multiple populations, including the general civilian population and, critically, American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. In practice, NIJ was looking for analyses that could make the 2010 NISVS data more actionable: clarifying prevalence, correlates, victimization characteristics, and other meaningful dimensions that can inform policy, prevention, and justice responses.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2015 3977; CFDA 16.560) was categorized under Law, Justice and Legal Services and used the grant funding instrument. NIJ anticipated making about five awards, with an estimated total funding pool of $200,000. Individual awards could range from a floor of $1,000 up to a ceiling of $42,000, indicating NIJ expected relatively focused projects (often typical of secondary analysis work) rather than large multi-year data collection efforts. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers barriers to participation for smaller organizations, individual researchers, and entities with limited discretionary funds.
Eligibility was broad and included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3) in categories other than institutions of higher education), small businesses, for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses), individuals, and multiple levels of government (state, county, city or township, special districts, independent school districts, and public/Indian housing authorities). The eligibility list also explicitly included Native American tribal governments (federally recognized) and other Native American tribal organizations, aligning with the solicitation emphasis on AI/AN samples and the need for research that can speak to those populations with appropriate attention and expertise.
Key dates show the solicitation was posted and created on January 9, 2015, with an original and final closing date of April 9, 2015, and an archive date of May 9, 2015. The program contact listed for assistance accessing the full announcement was Christine Crossland, Program Manager. Overall, the grant opportunity was designed to leverage a major national dataset and encourage researchers and practitioners to generate rigorous, policy-relevant findings on IPV, sexual violence, and stalking, with explicit attention to both the general population and American Indian and Alaska Native samples captured in the 2010 NISVS.
