Opportunity Summary:
The 2009 State Court Organization (SCO) grant opportunity was issued by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to fund a single organization to serve as the national data collection agent for the 2009 SCO project. The purpose of the SCO is to document and describe how state courts are organized across the United States, with emphasis on the structure and operating framework of both trial and appellate courts. This is not a program-services grant; it is an information and statistics award designed to produce a standardized, comparable snapshot of state court organization nationwide.
The 2009 SCO continues a long-running series that BJS previously conducted in 1980, 1987, 1993, 1998, and 2004. The 2009 round is intended to be consistent with those prior efforts so the resulting dataset can be compared over time, allowing researchers and policymakers to track how court systems evolve. The collection is expected to cover core administrative and organizational topics such as sentencing structures and responsibilities, the use and administration of juries, governance of the judicial branch, appellate court structures and processes, and other features that define how state trial and appellate courts are arranged and managed. The data are meant to reflect conditions accurate as of December 2009, effectively creating a time-stamped reference point for that year.
BJS planned to make one award under this solicitation, using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which generally means the agency anticipates substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on methodology, deliverables, review cycles, or dissemination). The projected project length was 30 months, with the award expected on or after September 30, 2009. Applicants were encouraged to review earlier BJS publications and outputs related to state court organization, available through the BJS website, to understand the scope, definitions, and reporting expectations and to maintain continuity with the historical SCO series.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was categorized as discretionary and tied to the federal activity area of information and statistics. It carried CFDA number 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). The competition was broadly open: both nonprofit and for-profit (commercial) entities could apply. However, for-profit recipients were subject to Office of Justice Programs fiscal rules prohibiting them from earning profit or charging a management fee under the award. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which indicates applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of funding.
Key dates and identifiers for the opportunity include Funding Opportunity Number 2009-BJS-2127, with the posting date of March 23, 2009, and a closing date of May 6, 2009 (the original and current closing dates matched). The opportunity was later archived on June 5, 2009. Questions about access to the full announcement were directed to Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at 202-616-3561.
