Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJS 2022 171348
The FY 2022 National Inmate Survey (NIS-4) Jails opportunity is a continuation cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), under the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). Its core purpose is to support the next phase of the National Inmate Survey focused specifically on people held in local jails. The NIS is the federal government s primary statistical effort for producing nationally representative information on sexual victimization in correctional settings, and this jail-focused award supports the data collection and statistical work needed to keep that national measurement system operating. The solicitation reflects OJP s broader priorities around civil rights and racial equity, access to justice, support for victims and justice-impacted individuals, community safety, and strengthening trust between communities and the justice system.
In practical terms, the award is meant to fund a single recipient to carry out the highly specialized work required to administer NIS-4 in jails, using BJS standards and close coordination with the federal project team. Because the instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, BJS expects to have substantial ongoing involvement in key decisions and deliverables. That typically includes oversight of sampling plans, instrument implementation, field procedures in secure settings, data security protocols, and the production of statistical outputs that meet federal quality requirements. The activity category for the award is Information and Statistics, which signals that the emphasis is on rigorous national data collection, analysis, and reporting rather than direct service delivery or program operations in facilities.
The opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number O-BJS-2022-171348, under CFDA 16.739, and it was posted May 19, 2022 with an original closing date of June 17, 2022. BJS anticipated making one award, with an award ceiling of up to 2,000,000. Eligibility is listed broadly as Others, with additional eligibility details provided in the solicitation itself, which is typical for BJS statistical collections where qualified research organizations, survey contractors, and similar entities may be considered depending on the continuation context and the specific requirements for managing large-scale survey operations in correctional environments.
The statutory authority for BJS to issue this solicitation is cited as 34 U.S.C. 10132(c) and 34 U.S.C. 30303, which are provisions that support BJS s role in collecting, analyzing, and disseminating justice system statistics. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as federal support for maintaining and executing a critical national statistical survey that helps the public and policymakers understand the prevalence and characteristics of sexual victimization in jails, while aligning the work with OJP s stated commitments to equity, civil rights, and improving the fairness and effectiveness of the justice system. For the detailed scope, expectations, and deliverables, the solicitation directs applicants to the Overview section in the original posting at the BJS website link provided.Apply for O BJS 2022 171348
