Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2023 171742
The BJA FY 23 Visiting Fellows Program is a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), Office of Justice Programs (OJP) discretionary funding opportunity that supports paid, time-limited fellowships designed to strengthen national criminal justice policy and practice. The program is rooted in OJP priorities that include advancing civil rights and racial equity, expanding access to justice, supporting crime victims and people impacted by the justice system, improving community safety, addressing evolving public safety threats, and building trust between law enforcement and communities. A notable emphasis in this solicitation is a preference for applicants with lived experience who can bring practical knowledge and critical perspectives that help BJA better connect with, and respond to, the needs of people and communities most affected by the criminal justice system.
Awards are made as cooperative agreements, meaning fellows are expected to work in close coordination with BJA (and broader DOJ) staff rather than operating independently. The fellowship term lasts 24 months and includes a dedicated "residency" period of roughly 9 to 12 months. During that residency, the fellow is expected to devote a significant portion of their time to fellowship activities and will work closely with BJA staff both virtually and with some onsite time in Washington, D.C. The central purpose of each fellowship is to produce meaningful policy and program contributions within a specific criminal justice focus area, with fellows helping to translate evidence, field experience, and stakeholder perspectives into actionable strategies.
The work fellows are expected to perform centers on high-impact support to BJA and DOJ decision-making. This includes conducting or synthesizing research, providing data and analytic insights, offering subject matter expertise, and engaging in critical outreach to practitioners, researchers, and communities. In practice, fellows help inform the development of new BJA strategies, policies, and programs that can be implemented across the field, with an emphasis on solutions that are credible to practitioners and responsive to impacted populations.
Eligibility is broad and includes state, county, and city or township governments; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; nonprofit organizations with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those categories); for-profit organizations other than small businesses; and small businesses. The opportunity is administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance. The posted award ceiling is $350,000. The original application closing date for this FY 2023 solicitation was June 29, 2023. The opportunity number is O-BJA-2023-171742, and the funding activity category is listed under Employment, Labor and Training, with CFDA numbers 16.031, 16.040, 16.585, 16.608, 16.746, 16.812, and 16.838.Apply for O BJA 2023 171742
