In addition to the National Institute of Justice staff members who prepared the individual research solicitations contained in the Program Plan, several other staff members coordinated the preparation, production, and publication of the Plan.

The Plan's preparation was coordinated by the Office of the Director. In that Office, Terry M. Simpson of the Planning and Management Staff served as Program Plan production manager while John B. Pickett, the Director of the Planning and Management Staff, supervised the entire process. The Special Assistant to the Acting Director of the Office of Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Research, Joel H. Garner, Ph.D., coordinated the efforts of his office. Richard S. Laymon, Ph.D., Director of the Center for Crime Control Research, coordinated the Center's efforts.

In the Office of Communication and Research Utilization, Virginia Baldau, Director, Research Applications and Training Division, coordinated preparation of information on that Office's programs. The Office's Reference and Dissemination Division was responsible for production and publication of the Program Plan. Daniel Tompkins provided overall production supervision, with editorial assistance from Division staff member Clay Fulghum.

NIJ's National Criminal Justice Reference Service, particularly editor Joe Holt Anderson and designer Christina Martinson, provided editorial and production support.
