Opportunity Information: Apply for BJS 2017 12781
The FY 2017 National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X-State) Implementation Assistance Program Phase VI grant opportunity is a Department of Justice initiative administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), working in partnership with the FBI, to speed up the national transition to the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). At its core, the program is meant to help law enforcement agencies move away from older summary-style crime reporting and toward incident-based reporting that captures more detailed information about each crime event. The bigger national goal behind this work is to improve the quality and coverage of U.S. crime statistics by increasing the number of agencies reporting to NIBRS, which in turn supports more accurate national-level estimates and analysis.
This particular phase focuses on small and medium local law enforcement agencies that are part of the NCS-X sample, a targeted group of 400 agencies selected across the country that includes all of the largest agencies. The emphasis here is on agencies that are not currently reporting incident-based data to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Program. The funding is intended to remove practical and technical barriers that keep these local agencies from submitting NIBRS-compliant data. Agencies can use the support to begin reporting either through their state UCR program (often the most common pathway, since states frequently act as an aggregation and validation point) or by reporting directly to the FBI, depending on their state setup and technical readiness.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a traditional grant, which generally signals closer federal involvement during the project period. In practice, that means BJS (and the FBI as a partner in this initiative) is likely to provide more hands-on guidance, coordination expectations, and oversight as agencies implement NIBRS reporting capability. The activity category is listed under Information and Statistics, reflecting that the main deliverable is improved crime data infrastructure and reporting rather than enforcement operations or equipment for field policing.
From an administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary funding opportunity under CFDA 16.734. It was created on May 24, 2017, with an original closing date of June 30, 2017. The solicitation projected up to 42 awards, with an overall award ceiling of $25,200,000 for the opportunity. Eligibility is indicated broadly as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the original solicitation text, but the narrative makes clear that the intended recipients are small and medium local law enforcement agencies in the NCS-X sample that need implementation assistance to begin submitting incident-based crime data.
Overall, the program is about building and accelerating NIBRS readiness for selected local agencies so their incident data can flow reliably to state UCR programs and/or the FBI. By investing in the capacity of these agencies to submit standardized incident-based data, BJS and the FBI aim to expand national NIBRS coverage and strengthen the foundation for producing modern, detailed national crime statistics.Apply for BJS 2017 12781
