FY 2022 National Survey of Prosecutors

The proposed fiscal year (FY) 2022 supplemental award for the National Survey of Prosecutors (NSP) will provide funding from May 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022. The NSP is comprised of both core questions used in the past and several new or expanded topics that capture emerging justice issues. Through the NSP, BJS measures staffing characteristics, budgets, overall caseloads, and cases involving emerging issues. Statutory Authority: Under section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, BJS is authorized to "make grants to, or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with public agencies, institutions of higher education, private organizations, or private individuals" for purposes of collecting and analyzing criminal justice data and producing reliable statistics under 34 U.S.C. § 10132(c) (1).
