Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) offered this discretionary grant opportunity, titled "2009 Census of Problem Solving Courts," to fund one organization to carry out (or "field") a national census focused on problem solving courts that serve adult offenders. The core purpose of the project was to produce accurate and reliable nationwide statistics on adults who enter problem solving court programs. In practical terms, BJS wanted a comprehensive, standardized count and description of these courts and their programs so the federal government and researchers could better understand how widely they operate, who they serve, and how their cases move through the justice system.
A key point is that the census was not only meant to describe the landscape of problem solving courts; it was also designed to build a strong sampling framework for later, deeper research. Specifically, the data collected through the census would be used to support subsequent sampling and studies examining case processing information and case dispositions for adults participating in problem solving courts. That means the census functions as a foundation: once BJS has a dependable inventory of relevant courts and basic operational details, it becomes possible to draw representative samples and analyze outcomes and processing patterns in a way that holds up statistically at the national level.
The award was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project, such as collaboration on methods, instruments, data standards, or reporting expectations. The funding activity category was "Information and Statistics," aligning the project with BJS's mission of producing national criminal justice statistics and strengthening data systems. Only one award was expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $350,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
The opportunity was posted on April 16, 2010, with the application closing date set for June 11, 2010, and it was later archived on July 11, 2010. The CFDA number associated with the program was 16.734, "Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies," which signals that the project falls within a federal funding stream intended for specialized statistical collections rather than direct service delivery.
Eligibility was fairly broad but specific. Applicants could include for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher learning, and consortia. The eligibility language also emphasized demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. At the same time, the announcement highlighted a common Office of Justice Programs (OJP) fiscal restriction: for-profit entities could apply, but they could not earn profit from the award or charge a management fee for carrying out the work.
