Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2016 9980
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) FY 2016 National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X) Implementation Assistance Program, Phase III, is a discretionary federal grant offered as a cooperative agreement to help large local law enforcement agencies move to incident-based crime reporting and strengthen the national crime statistics infrastructure. The larger NCS-X effort is designed to create a nationally representative system of incident-level records for offenses known to law enforcement, which would improve the ability to produce national estimates of crime using detailed, incident-based data rather than only summary counts.
At the center of this initiative is the Federal Bureau of Investigation's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). NCS-X aims to expand and diversify NIBRS participation by recruiting a carefully selected sample of 400 law enforcement agencies to join the more than 6,500 agencies already reporting. This Phase III solicitation focuses specifically on supporting large local agencies so they can continue implementation work that began under earlier NCS-X project phases, and it also emphasizes practical work around data quality. In other words, the funding is not just about getting agencies connected to incident-based reporting, but also about making sure the data they submit is accurate, consistent, and usable for producing reliable national crime estimates.
Eligibility is narrowly targeted. Applicants must be local law enforcement agencies with 750 or more sworn officers that are not currently reporting incident-based data to their state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program or directly to the FBI's NIBRS. In addition, the agency must have already completed a readiness assessment through the NCS-X Initiative, meaning BJS expects applicants to have taken prior steps to evaluate their systems, staffing, processes, and technical needs before requesting implementation assistance under this phase.
Administratively, the opportunity is issued by the Bureau of Justice Statistics under CFDA 16.734, categorized under "Information and Statistics." The funding opportunity number is BJS 2016 9980. The original closing date was June 10, 2016, and the posting was created on April 21, 2016. The program anticipated up to 69 awards, with an overall award ceiling listed as $16,125,000. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, recipients should expect a closer working relationship with the federal government than under a standard grant, typically involving more active federal involvement in planning, oversight, milestones, and reporting tied to implementation progress and data quality objectives.
In practical terms, this grant opportunity is aimed at accelerating NIBRS adoption among the largest local agencies that have not yet transitioned, while simultaneously investing in the validation and assessment work needed to ensure incident-based data can support credible national-level crime measurement. The long-term goal is a stronger, more representative incident-based national crime statistics system that reflects the realities of crime reporting across jurisdictions, especially in large urban and metropolitan departments that can heavily influence national estimates.Apply for BJS 2016 9980
