2015 National Crime Statistics Exchange (NCS-X) Implementation Assistance Program: Phase I - Support for State Programs: The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) is seeking proposals from state Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) programs to expand the state’s capacity to report incident-based crime data to the FBI’s National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS). BJS has the support of the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division, which established and maintains the NIBRS program, for this project. The FBI is developing a plan to establish NIBRS as the law enforcement crime data reporting standard for the nation, with a complementary plan to phase out the Summary Reporting System of the UCR Program. This will result in an increase in the number of local law enforcement agencies reporting data to NIBRS. The typical mechanism by which a local agency contributes data to NIBRS is through its “state pipeline,” whereby agencies report their incident-based crime data to the NIBRS-certified UCR program in their respective state, and the state agency then sends the data from all the state’s contributing agencies to the FBI. The FBI advocates the use of the “state pipeline” for crime data reporting. The plan to transition local agencies to NIBRS reporting requires enhancing the “state pipeline” to ensure state Uniform Crime Reporting programs are capable of receiving and processing local incident-based crime data. Enhancing states’ capacity to receive and transmit NIBRS data is an effort jointly supported by BJS and by the FBI’s Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS). Funding under this solicitation will support (1) state programs that are transitioning from a Summary Reporting System to a system capable to receive state-specific incident-based crime data and report it in the NIBRS format to the FBI; (2) the establishment of a new state program capable of receiving state-specific, incident-based crime data and reporting it in the NIBRS format to the FBI; or (3) the expansion of the capabilities of an NIBRS-certified state program to receive and process more incident-based crime data.

Additional Information on Eligibility
Eligible applicants are limited to (1) the 28 State Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) Programs identified in the appendix to this solicitation or (2) a state agency in Indiana, Mississippi, or New Mexico (states that currently do not have a state UCR program) that will be officially designated as responsible for collecting incident-based data from local law enforcement agencies and reporting those data to the FBI’s NIBRS. These states either do not have an incident-based crime reporting component that is certified by the FBI to submit data to NIBRS, have a program that is NIBRS-certified but fewer than 80% of the law enforcement agencies in the state report incident-based data to the program, or do not have a state UCR program at this time.

BJS welcomes applications that involve two or more entities; however, the State UCR Program or the state agency in Indiana, Mississippi, or New Mexico (as indicated above) must be the lead applicant and other applicants must be proposed as subrecipients. The applicant must be the entity with primary responsibility for administering the funding and managing the entire program. Only one application per lead applicant will be considered; however, subrecipients may be part of multiple proposals.
