Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2019 16089
The Survey of Campus Law Enforcement Agencies (SCLEA) funding opportunity (BJS 2019 16089) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS). Its purpose is to restart and carry out a national survey focused on law enforcement agencies that operate on behalf of public and private institutions of higher education. The SCLEA collection was last conducted in 2011, so this award is aimed at rebuilding the infrastructure for an updated national data collection and producing current statistics and reporting on campus law enforcement.
Under this cooperative agreement, the selected recipient is expected to work closely with BJS throughout the full project lifecycle, from early planning through data collection and final reporting. A major early responsibility is to verify and update the survey sampling frame, meaning the recipient must ensure the underlying list of eligible campus law enforcement agencies is accurate, complete, and current. This typically involves confirming which colleges and universities have dedicated law enforcement agencies, clarifying agency status and contact information, and ensuring coverage of both public and private institutions so the resulting survey can support reliable national estimates and subgroup analyses.
Once the frame is updated, the recipient must design a sampling strategy and produce a formal sampling plan for BJS review. This includes defining the target population, selecting an approach for drawing a representative sample (or census, if justified), and planning how to handle key design issues such as stratification, differential probabilities of selection, expected response rates, and any weighting or nonresponse adjustments needed to ensure the results are statistically sound. The sampling plan and the survey instrument are then submitted to BJS for approval before data collection can begin, reflecting the cooperative nature of the award and BJSs oversight role in statistical standards, burden considerations, and consistency with prior SCLEA rounds where appropriate.
The opportunity also allows for convening an expert panel meeting if the applicant and BJS determine it is necessary. The purpose of this panel would be to review the survey instrument and the strategies for contacting agencies and securing participation. In practice, such panels can help validate question wording, confirm that requested data elements are feasible for agencies to provide, and improve outreach and follow-up procedures that drive response rates and data quality. The panel may include stakeholders such as campus law enforcement leaders, survey methodologists, and subject-matter experts in higher education public safety, depending on BJS needs and the projects approach.
After BJS approves the sampling plan and survey materials, the recipient will field the survey, collect responses, and manage the operational side of the data collection. This includes implementing contact protocols, tracking participation, conducting follow-ups, providing respondent support, and applying data quality checks. The recipient must then deliver the resulting dataset to BJS, ensuring the data are properly documented and formatted for federal statistical use, including any associated metadata, codebooks, and methodological documentation needed to interpret and analyze the results.
The final phase of the project centers on working with BJS to analyze and report the findings. This implies collaborative development of analytic approaches, production of tables and statistical summaries, and preparation of written outputs that present the updated landscape of campus law enforcement agencies. Because SCLEA was last administered in 2011, the refreshed data collection can also support comparisons over time, where measures remain comparable, and can help fill national information gaps on the organization, staffing, functions, and activities of campus law enforcement.
The award has an anticipated ceiling of $750,000, with one expected award. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 16.734, and the activity category is Information and Statistics, reinforcing that the project is primarily a federal statistical data collection and reporting effort rather than an operational policing grant. The closing date listed for applications was May 28, 2019, and eligible applicants are described as Others, with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation.Apply for BJS 2019 16089
