Opportunity Summary:
The 2015 Survey of Law Enforcement Personnel in Schools (SLEPS) is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) discretionary funding opportunity aimed at building a new, nationally representative statistical data collection about law enforcement personnel who work in, or regularly interact with, K-12 public schools. The core purpose is to document and measure the activities, roles, and responsibilities of these personnel and the law enforcement agencies that assign them to school settings. In practical terms, BJS is looking for one organization to design the survey instruments, conduct a field test to validate and refine those instruments, and then carry out full-scale data collection using a nationally representative sample of law enforcement personnel working in schools. The results are intended to strengthen the nation s criminal justice statistics related to school policing and provide more reliable, standardized information for research and policy.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically means BJS expects substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on methodology, instrument content, sampling decisions, and deliverables. The funding activity category is Information and Statistics, aligning with BJS s mission to collect and analyze criminal justice data. The legal authority for this work is cited as section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which permits BJS to make grants or enter into cooperative agreements or contracts with a wide range of entities for the purpose of collecting and analyzing criminal justice statistics.
The program anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of up to 1,000,000 dollars. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute nonfederal funds to be eligible or competitive. The opportunity is listed under CFDA number 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), reinforcing that this is a specialized statistical initiative rather than an operational school safety program.
Eligibility is broad and includes national, regional, state, or local public and private entities. This includes nonprofit and for profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit or for profit entities), faith based and community organizations, institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions), federally recognized Indian tribal governments, and units of local government involved in improving the functioning of the criminal justice system. A notable condition is that for profit applicants must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is common in certain federal statistical and research cooperative agreements.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 9, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 24, 2014, and an archive date of July 24, 2014. The funding opportunity number is BJS 2014 3928. Applicants needing access assistance for the full announcement were directed to contact Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst, at 202 307 5992.
