The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is offering this Visiting Fellow grant to support in-depth methodological research. The primary aim is to significantly enhance BJS’s capacity to effectively utilize its extensive National Corrections Reporting Program (NCRP) data. Fellows will focus on critical areas including studying the success and failure trajectories of state parolees, analyzing the impact of time served in prison on overall population changes, and examining the patterns of imprisonment across offenders’ life courses. Furthermore, the grant supports developing innovative methods to address data nonresponse, crucial for generating robust national-level estimates regarding transitions between various stages of the imprisonment process. This initiative seeks to advance correctional statistics analysis.
