About this opportunity
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking a cooperative agreement recipient for the National Victimization Statistical Support Program (NVSSP), which aims to provide scientific and technical support for statistical and methodological research on crime and victimization. The primary objective is to improve the utility and cost-effectiveness of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) through comprehensive statistical analyses, research, and documentation. Qualified applicants include higher education institutions, nonprofits, independent school districts, for-profit organizations, and small businesses with expertise in statistical methodology and criminal victimization research. The selected recipient will work closely with BJS to clarify project objectives, propose new research projects, identify appropriate data and methods, conduct analyses, and prepare detailed reports. The grant opportunity was posted on January 15, 2026, with a proposal submission deadline of February 10, 2026.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly detailed in the grant opportunity, the Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies Federal Grant Program typically awards cooperative agreements ranging from $300,000 to $4.9 million, with project durations between two to five years. The work will be performed at the recipient's research facilities, focusing on developing statistical methodologies, conducting analyses, and producing comprehensive reports on criminal victimization. The project will directly support BJS's core functions of statistical analysis, report writing, and documentation, with the ultimate goal of enhancing the understanding of crime victimization through rigorous, objective research methodologies.
Synopsis
The primary focus of the National Victimization Statistical Support Program (NVSSP) is to provide scientific and technical support for statistical and methodological research, statistical analyses, documentation, and dissemination related to Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) work on crime and victimization. Specifically, the NVSSP supports general methodological research related to improving the utility and cost-effectiveness of the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). With this Notice of Funding Opportunity, BJS is seeking an applicant to provide statistical support on a wide array of projects involving statistical methodology, research, analyses, and reporting on criminal victimization and related statistics. BJS views the NVSSP as being complementary to and directly supportive of larger NCVS survey efforts and to the regular, annual core functions related to statistical analyses, report writing, and documentation. The recipient of funds will be responsible for working closely with BJS to clarify the project objectives and research questions; propose new projects for consideration that align with BJS priorities; identify the necessary data and appropriate methods; provide input on the relative strengths and weaknesses of different analytical approaches (as appropriate); conduct analyses and prepare relevant documents; and clearly communicate the planning, work, and results. The goal of this program is to support general methodological research related to improving the utility and cost effectiveness of the NCVS.
