Opportunity Summary:

The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 BJS 2755) to support the design and implementation of the 2010 Survey of General Purpose Law Enforcement Agencies (2010SGPLEA). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the award recipient would carry out the work in close coordination with BJS rather than operating fully independently. The central purpose of the effort is to produce accurate, reliable, timely, and relevant national-level statistical information about general purpose law enforcement agencies across the United States. Although the survey work would begin in January 2011, the information collected would primarily reference agency conditions and activities during 2010.

The survey is intended to build a comprehensive statistical picture of general purpose law enforcement agencies by collecting standardized information across a broad set of operational areas. In particular, the survey is expected to gather data on basic agency characteristics, staffing and personnel, agency budgets, and a range of policies and programs. The emphasis on national statistics signals that the survey design and implementation must support consistent measurement and comparability across jurisdictions, helping BJS publish usable findings for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners who rely on federal justice statistics.

BJS anticipated making a single award under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $650,000 and an award ceiling of $650,000 (no stated award floor). The opportunity falls under the activity category of Information and Statistics and is associated with CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is open to a range of organizational types, including for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. A notable eligibility detail is the emphasis on demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The eligibility language explicitly includes tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. At the same time, the announcement notes a key fiscal restriction typical of Office of Justice Programs (OJP) awards: for-profit organizations may not earn a profit from the award and may not charge a management fee for performing the work.

The timeline in the posting indicates the opportunity was posted on May 11, 2010, with a closing date of June 25, 2010, and an archive date of July 25, 2010. Interested applicants needing help accessing the full program announcement were directed to contact Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at (202) 616-3561.
