Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJS 2025 172528

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is offering a grant to support data collection and related activities for its National Prisoner Statistics (NPS) and National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) from reference years 2025 to 2029. These two flagship programs track the size and composition of U.S. state and federal prison populations on an annual basis, using both aggregate and individual-level data.

The grant will cover the first three years of a five-year project (2025–2027), with funding for the final two years (2028–2029) contingent on successful completion and delivery of data from the initial period. The awardee will also conduct one supplemental NPS survey focusing on a special topic, such as data collection regarding opioid use disorder testing and treatment within prisons.

NPS gathers summary data on the number of prisoners under custody and jurisdiction each year as of December 31, including details like race, admissions, releases, and facility capacity. It also collects figures on HIV/AIDS cases and testing policies. NCRP, meanwhile, collects more detailed, person-level data. Both data sets are critical for BJS statistical reports, including the Prisoners and Corrections Populations in the United States series.
