Opportunity Summary:
The Deaths in Custody Reporting Program, 2012 2015 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 2011 BJS 2939) was a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) under CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). Its purpose was to select a single agent (one expected award) to carry out nationwide data collection and analysis for the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) over a four-year period covering October 1, 2011 through September 30, 2015, which aligns with federal fiscal years 2012 through 2015. The overall aim was to support BJS in producing accurate, timely national statistics and related analytic outputs about deaths that occur while individuals are in the custody of correctional authorities.
Under this opportunity, the selected agent would be responsible for the day to day execution of DCRP operations. That includes collecting death-in-custody data from relevant reporting entities, managing all collection activities in a way that is efficient and cost effective, and maintaining and updating the national DCRP database so that records are complete, accurate, and available on schedule. In addition to routine collection and database maintenance, the agent would also assist BJS with efforts to enhance and expand the DCRP, which implies participating in improvements to methods, coverage, data quality practices, and potentially the scope or usability of the program as BJS priorities evolved during the 2012 to 2015 period.
Eligibility was broad but specific. Applicants could include for profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia. The solicitation also emphasized demonstrated organizational and community based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, explicitly including tribal for profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. A key federal financial condition applied to for profit entities: consistent with Office of Justice Programs (OJP) fiscal requirements, a for profit organization could not earn profit from the award and could not charge a management fee for performing the work. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
The solicitation was posted March 14, 2011, with the original and final application deadline set for May 12, 2011, and an archive date of June 11, 2011. The activity category was listed as Information and Statistics, reflecting that the work centered on statistical data collection, database stewardship, and analysis rather than direct service delivery. For applicants or interested parties needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at 202 616 3561.
