What it funds
Official synopsis as published by the agency, formatted for readability.
With this solicitation, BJA seeks to invest in current and future leaders in the criminal justice field to advance priority national policy issues and offer cross-developmental opportunities for DOJ staff and criminal justice practitioners and researchers. Awards made under the BJA Visiting Fellows Program will fund fellowships for a period of 24 months for Category 1 and for 36 months under Category 2, including a “dedicated immersion” period when the Fellow will be expected to commit a significant portion of their time to the fellowship. Fellows will also have an opportunity to work closely with BJA staff members, both virtually and onsite at BJA’s office in Washington, D.C.
