Opportunity Summary:
The 2010 Survey of State Court Criminal Appeals grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2010 BJS 2713) was issued by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to support a single cooperative agreement aimed at carrying out a focused national data collection on criminal appeals in state courts. The central purpose of the award was to fund the final stages of building and running the survey, including completing the sampling design, finalizing survey instruments and procedures, and administering the actual criminal appeals survey. In practical terms, the funded recipient would be responsible for ensuring the project was ready to field at scale and then executing the collection of standardized information from selected courts and cases.
The survey itself was designed to concentrate on criminal appeals that were disposed (resolved) during calendar year 2010. The intent was not simply to count appeals, but to capture detailed, comparable information on key characteristics of appealed criminal cases across states and court levels. The grant emphasized collecting data on the kinds of criminal cases reaching state intermediate appellate courts and state courts of last resort, how those appeals were ultimately resolved (for example, affirmances, reversals, remands, dismissals, or other dispositions), how long appellate processing took, and how appellate litigation affected what happened back at the trial court level. That last piece highlights an interest in the real downstream consequences of appeals, such as whether an appellate decision resulted in a new trial, resentencing, case dismissal, or other modifications to the original trial court outcome.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning BJS expected to have substantial involvement in the project as it progressed, which is common for complex statistical collections where the agency needs to ensure methodological consistency and adherence to national standards. The activity category was Information and Statistics, and the CFDA number associated with the program was 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). BJS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,250,000 and an award ceiling set at the same amount. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for applicants.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on April 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2010. The archive date was July 11, 2010, indicating the solicitation was no longer active after that point. The overall schedule signals a relatively standard federal solicitation window of roughly seven weeks from posting to closing, followed by archiving after the submission period ended.
Eligibility was broadly defined but still limited to specific organization types. Eligible applicants included for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher learning, and consortia, with an explicit emphasis on applicants with demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. The eligibility language also explicitly included tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. At the same time, the solicitation noted a key Office of Justice Programs (OJP) fiscal rule for for-profit entities: they could not earn a profit from the award and could not charge a management fee for performing the work. This condition is important for budgeting and contracting because it affects how indirect costs, fees, and pricing structures can be set up for commercial applicants.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, with a phone number of 202-616-3561. Overall, the opportunity was structured to produce a rigorous, nationally useful dataset describing how state criminal appeals functioned in 2010, with particular attention to appeal types, outcomes, timelines, and the concrete effects appellate decisions had on trial court results.
