Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) grant opportunity titled "Annual Survey of Jails in Indian Country, 2016-2019" (Funding Opportunity Number BJS-2015-4166) is a discretionary funding program offered through a cooperative agreement to support the annual administration and analysis of the Survey of Jails in Indian Country (SJIC) for four consecutive survey years: 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The central purpose of the award is to ensure the SJIC is fielded each year and that the resulting data are processed, analyzed, and reported in a way that produces accurate, high-quality national statistics on jail operations and inmate populations in Indian country. BJS positions the SJIC as a key statistical tool for tracking how jail populations change over time and for documenting how these detention facilities are organized, staffed, and run.
The SJIC focuses on core measures that describe the status and movement of inmate populations in Indian country jails, along with facility operations such as staffing patterns and operational characteristics. In addition to those recurring topics, BJS notes that the survey sometimes includes addenda to capture more detailed information about programs and services offered within these facilities. Those intermittent add-ons can cover areas like health care access, medical intake or assessment practices, mental health screening procedures, counseling services, and educational programming. Through this work, the funded organization is expected not only to carry out the yearly data collection and analysis tasks, but also to help strengthen the survey over time by recommending improvements or enhancements to the SJIC instrument and approach.
This opportunity is categorized under "Information and Statistics" and aligns with CFDA number 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). BJS anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $400,000. The announcement lists no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0 in the source information, which typically indicates that applicants should rely on the full program announcement for any specific budget constraints or that the funding level is governed by the overall estimated total and project scope rather than a fixed per-award cap.
Eligibility is broad and includes a wide range of public and private entities connected to criminal justice system improvement and research. Eligible applicants include national, regional, state, or local public and private entities; for-profit and nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations); institutions of higher education (including tribal colleges and universities); federally recognized Indian tribal governments; and units of local government. The authority for these awards is described under section 302 of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, which permits BJS to make grants or enter into contracts or cooperative agreements with states and territories, local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits, for-profits, higher education institutions, and certain qualified individuals. A notable condition is that for-profit organizations may apply but must agree to forgo any profit or management fee. Foreign governments, foreign organizations, and foreign institutions of higher education are explicitly ineligible.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was posted on March 24, 2015, with the application deadline (original and current closing date) set for May 26, 2015, and the opportunity archived on June 25, 2015. Because the funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, BJS typically expects a closer working relationship with the award recipient during the project period, often involving ongoing coordination around data collection methods, instrument updates, quality assurance, analysis plans, and publication of results. The announcement also provides a contact for assistance accessing the full program materials: Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst, at 202-307-5992.
