FY 2021 Visiting Fellows Program

Q: The BJA FY 2021 Visiting Fellows Program solicitation requests on page 15 that applicants “Demonstrate the applicant’s expertise working with and developing documents for practitioners and policymakers” and “Provide documentation of any prior work or collaboration that has previously been undertaken by the applicant in the selected area of focus.” Can applicants attach a policy paper they have written or some other product they have created to document this expertise? Can it be submitted as a separate attachment or will it be considered as part of the proposal narrative?

A: In documenting the applicant’s experience, BJA is asking the applicants to provide a statement that summarizes and documents their expertise as part of the program narrative. They are also encouraged to attach prior work products that document their capabilities and competencies in response to the solicitation requirements. BJA will also consider other required support documents such as a résumé or a CV. These can be submitted as separate attachment to the applicant and will not count against the page limit in the program narrative.

On July 14, 2021, BJA held a webinar to provide information about this opportunity and how to apply. In case you missed it:
