Description

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.
