Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2020 17572
This Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funding opportunity supports a single cooperative agreement to run two core national corrections data collections: the National Prisoner Statistics program (NPS) and the National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) for reference years 2020 through 2024. The selected agent is responsible for conducting the data collection and related work across four collection cycles, with a project period running from October 1, 2020 through September 30, 2025. While the overall effort spans five years, the solicitation notes that funding is initially provided for the first three years, and the final two years are intended to be funded only after successful completion of the 2020 to 2022 data.
The purpose of combining NPS and NCRP under one award is to maintain BJSs primary annual measures of the size and characteristics of state and federal prison populations, using two complementary approaches. NPS provides a consistent, long-running set of annual aggregate counts that allow BJS and the public to track overall prison population levels and key characteristics over time. NCRP adds depth by collecting person-level records on admissions, releases, and community supervision transitions, making it possible to study individual movement through the corrections system and to support more detailed policy analysis.
Under NPS, state departments of corrections and the Federal Bureau of Prisons use administrative records to report aggregate counts for the prison population as of December 31 each year. These counts cover both custody and jurisdictional populations and are broken out by sex. NPS also gathers information on admissions and releases during the year, demographic detail such as race and Hispanic origin, and capacity measures for facilities holding prisoners. A notable component of NPS is its annual reporting on confirmed HIV/AIDS cases and current testing policies, which supports ongoing monitoring of health conditions and practices within prison systems. NPS has been collected every year since 1926 and serves as a foundational input to BJS publications, including the Prisoners series and Corrections Populations in the United States.
Through NCRP, BJS collects detailed offender-level data from state prison systems and post-custody community supervision programs, described here as PCCS (previously referred to as parole). NCRP is also built from administrative records and has been collected annually since 1983. The program typically includes five distinct files each year: prison admissions, a December 31 census of state prisoners, prison releases, entries into PCCS programs, and exits from PCCS programs. For most participating states, NCRP also supports linking prison and PCCS records across years into what BJS calls terms, meaning the span from an individuals admission to release. This longitudinal structure allows analysts to look beyond single-year snapshots and examine pathways through incarceration and supervision over time.
BJS uses NCRP data to address a wide range of corrections topics that are difficult to study with aggregate counts alone. Examples highlighted in the solicitation include recidivism research (often by linking NCRP records with criminal history data), prisoner reentry and post-release outcomes, the aging prison population, trends in community supervision populations, and supervision outcomes. The NCRP also supports broader BJS efforts to track shifts in racial and offense composition, examine transitions between stages of the corrections process, and compare differences among states in correctional practices and populations.
Administratively, this is a discretionary opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics, using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally implies substantial federal involvement during the project. The opportunity number is BJS-2020-17572, listed under CFDA 16.734. The posting indicates one expected award with an award ceiling of $2,700,000. The solicitation was created February 14, 2020, with an original closing date of April 14, 2020, and eligibility is described broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full eligibility text.
The legal authority for BJS to make this award comes from Section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which authorizes BJS to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with a range of entities, including public agencies, higher education institutions, private organizations, and individuals, for the collection and analysis of criminal justice statistics. The solicitation cites authority under 34 U.S.C. 10132.Apply for BJS 2020 17572
