Opportunity Summary:
The Data Resources Program 2016: Funding for Analysis of Existing Data (NIJ 2016 9052) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National Institute of Justice (NIJ), focused on supporting original research that relies on existing, publicly available data rather than new data collection. The program is run as a partnership among NIJ, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), with NIJ serving as the managing agency and the funder of awards made under this solicitation. The main purpose is to encourage strong secondary analysis that can directly inform juvenile and criminal justice policy and practice in the United States.
A central feature of this program is the use of data from the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). NACJD is a major repository that hosts both quantitative and qualitative datasets that were produced through research funded by NIJ, BJS, and OJJDP. These datasets are made available online at no cost in downloadable, machine-readable formats, and they come with supporting documentation (such as codebooks and user guides) that is also available free of charge. NACJD is maintained by the Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan, and its ongoing support comes from NIJ, BJS, and OJJDP. While NACJD is the primary source emphasized, the solicitation also makes clear that applicants may propose analyses using other publicly available secondary datasets, including data hosted on other government or agency websites, as long as the work remains aligned with the program’s policy- and practice-relevant goals.
In terms of topic scope, the solicitation is intentionally broad. Because NIJ, BJS, and OJJDP have sponsored datasets across a wide range of criminal justice and juvenile justice areas, applicants can draw from many different subject domains, populations, and system points (for example, prevention, enforcement, courts, corrections, victimization, juvenile offending, system processing, and related community or institutional outcomes). The emphasis is less on a narrow thematic priority and more on producing rigorous, original insights from existing data that stakeholders can use. In practical terms, the program is designed for researchers who can leverage established datasets to answer important questions efficiently, making the most of already-collected information.
Eligibility is expansive and includes state, county, and city or township governments; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education under that category); individuals; for-profit organizations (other than small businesses); and small businesses. This wide eligibility reflects the program’s interest in drawing proposals from many parts of the research and practitioner ecosystem, not only universities.
Key administrative details include a CFDA number of 16.560 and an activity category of Law, Justice and Legal Services. The solicitation was posted on March 10, 2016, with the application closing date set for April 25, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). The expected number of awards was four, and the maximum award amount (award ceiling) was $160,000 per award. Overall, the opportunity is structured as a relatively targeted set of awards intended to produce high-value analyses from existing criminal justice and juvenile justice data resources, especially those housed at NACJD.
