Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) offered this discretionary funding opportunity to support the administration of the 2012 Census of Law Enforcement Training Academies (CLETA), a nationwide census designed to produce accurate, reliable, timely, and policy-relevant statistics on law enforcement training academies across the United States. Through a cooperative agreement, BJS intended to fund one organization to help carry out the full data collection effort, with the overarching purpose of strengthening the national evidence base on how state, regional, and local academies are staffed, structured, resourced, and operated.
The core activity funded under this opportunity was the implementation of a census of approximately 750 law enforcement training academies operating in the U.S. The data collection was scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2013 and would gather information referring to calendar year 2012. The census was set up to capture a wide picture of academy operations, including details about recruits (such as volume and characteristics of trainees), staff (such as instructors and support personnel), curricula (what subjects are taught and how training is delivered), facilities (the physical and technical resources available for training), and academy policies (rules, standards, and administrative practices). BJS indicated it would provide both the data collection instrument and the respondent list, meaning applicants were expected to focus on executing the fieldwork and managing the collection process rather than designing the survey from scratch.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted May 2, 2012, with an application deadline of June 22, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012. The award ceiling was $250,000, and BJS anticipated making a single award. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that BJS expected to remain actively involved during the project period through collaboration, review, and coordination, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The activity category was listed as “Information and Statistics,” and the CFDA number associated with the solicitation was 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility was broad but specific. BJS limited applicants to for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. The eligibility language also emphasized demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, explicitly including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. For-profit applicants were permitted but had to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, a condition commonly used to ensure federal funds are spent directly on project costs rather than generating profit.
The legal authority for issuing the solicitation was the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968, Section 302, as amended, which underpins BJS’s role in collecting and disseminating criminal justice statistics. Questions about accessing the full announcement were directed to Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst, at 202-307-5992.
