Opportunity Summary:
The Annual Surveys of Probation and Parole, 2011-2014 Solicitation is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funding opportunity focused on continuing two long-running, nationwide statistical data collections: the Annual Probation Survey and the Annual Parole Survey. These surveys are often discussed together as the PP collections, and their main purpose is to gather consistent, yearly counts and characteristics of adults under community supervision in the United States. In practical terms, the project supports the ongoing collection, processing, and reporting of administrative records maintained by supervision agencies, so BJS can track trends in the size and makeup of the adult probation and parole populations over time.
The core value of this work is continuity and comparability. Since 1980, BJS has used these surveys to measure growth and change in what is commonly called the adult community corrections population, meaning adults supervised in the community rather than held in a jail or prison. The data are sourced from state probation and parole agencies as well as municipal, county, or court agencies that administer supervision, along with the federal system. Because these agencies already maintain administrative data for operational purposes, the surveys are designed to standardize and compile those figures into a single, national statistical series that can be used by policymakers, researchers, and justice administrators.
A key feature of the solicitation is how the PP data fit into a bigger national picture of corrections statistics. BJS uses the probation and parole totals alongside other cornerstone collections, including the National Prison Statistics (NPS) program (which provides counts of adults incarcerated in state and federal prisons) and the Annual Survey of Jails (which provides counts of people held in local jails). Together, these sources allow BJS to estimate the total adult correctional population in the United States across incarceration and community supervision, which supports national reporting, trend analysis, and public accountability.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that BJS expects substantial involvement or collaboration with the recipient during the project period. The funding activity category is Information and Statistics, and the CFDA number listed is 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). BJS anticipated making one award under this solicitation, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving the award.
The timeline shows the opportunity was posted on February 15, 2011, with an original closing date of April 12, 2011, later extended to April 14, 2011. The archive date is May 12, 2011, indicating the solicitation is no longer open. The program is identified by Funding Opportunity Number 2011-BJS-2872.
Eligibility is described broadly, but with specific emphasis. Eligible applicants include for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. The solicitation also specifies applicants should have demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, and it explicitly includes tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. This eligibility language suggests BJS was interested in ensuring capacity and experience for working with tribal communities where relevant, even though the overall PP collections are national in scope.
For access and questions, the solicitation lists a program analyst contact: Lisa Price Grear at the Bureau of Justice Statistics, with a phone number provided (202-616-3561), and notes that applicants who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically could reach out for assistance.
