Opportunity Summary:
The National Institute of Justice (NIJ) offered this 2010 Data Resources Program grant to support research that makes strong use of existing criminal justice data, especially data already housed in the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). The central goal of the opportunity is to fund projects that reproduce, replicate, or extend earlier findings, as well as projects that conduct new analyses that build on prior NIJ-funded datasets. In practice, this means NIJ is looking for proposals that can confirm whether earlier results hold up, test whether they generalize to new contexts or populations, or push the original work further by asking new questions that the existing data can answer.
A key feature of the program is its emphasis on NACJD as the primary data source. NACJD is an archive of both quantitative and qualitative data from NIJ-funded research, designed to make reanalysis and secondary analysis possible. The archive provides online access to machine-readable datasets in common formats such as SPSS, SAS, or plain ASCII, along with the supporting documentation researchers typically need to use data responsibly and correctly, including data dictionaries and study abstracts. For certain studies, the archive also includes geographic files in MapInfo or ESRI formats, which can be important for spatial or place-based criminal justice research. NACJD is maintained by the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan, with NIJ support, which underscores that this opportunity sits squarely in NIJ's broader strategy of preserving and maximizing the value of federally funded research data.
Although NIJ signaled a clear preference for projects that use NACJD holdings, the solicitation also leaves room for applicants to use data from other sources. The tradeoff is that any data files created or produced through a Data Resources Program (DRP) award must be deposited into NACJD at the end of the project, regardless of where the data originally came from. That requirement is important because it means the program is not only funding individual studies; it is also investing in the long-term public research infrastructure by expanding what future researchers can access, verify, and build upon.
Administratively, this was a discretionary grant opportunity categorized under research and evaluation. NIJ expected to make about seven awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally lowers the barrier to entry for applicants that do not have institutional funds available to supplement federal support. The posting date and creation date were both February 16, 2010, and the application deadline was April 16, 2010, with an archive date of June 30, 2010. The listed award ceiling and floor were shown as zero in the summary fields, which typically indicates that specific funding ranges were either not provided in that summary record or were detailed in the full solicitation document rather than in the metadata.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was open broadly to different types of entities, subject to any clarifying eligibility language in the full announcement. For applicants, the most relevant practical takeaway is that NIJ wanted rigorous secondary data analysis work that either strengthens confidence in prior results through replication or produces meaningful new knowledge by creatively and carefully leveraging existing datasets. Finally, the listed program contact for questions about solicitation requirements was Ronald E. Wilson, Social Science Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-305-8711, with additional details and the full solicitation accessible via the linked solicitation document and the NIJ Data Resources Program website referenced in the announcement.

Yes. Any data files created or produced through a Data Resources Program award must be deposited into NACJD at the end of the project, regardless of where the data originally came from.
Why does NIJ require depositing data into NACJD?
