Abstract: Currently, constituents can sign-up for communications, such as new publications, funding opportunities, events and other news & announcements from NCJRS & its OJP federal sponsors. The form is over 14 years old and requires 19 required fields on 7 screens, creating undo burden. The form is being revised to make the sign-up process less cumbersome and also collect meaningful information to assist segmentation strategies for targeted outreach to users interested in OJP/NCJRS funding & resources.
