Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Continuation of the Federal Justice Statistics Program (FJSP) is a U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) funding opportunity focused on sustaining and strengthening the federal governments primary system for compiling administrative data on federal criminal case processing. The FJSP functions as a national clearinghouse that brings together data describing how federal criminal matters move through the justice system, from the earliest enforcement actions through prosecution, adjudication, and ultimately corrections. Its purpose is not simply to store information, but to turn fragmented agency records into consistent, high-quality, comparable statistics that can be used to understand trends, performance, and emerging issues across the federal justice process.
The program is explicitly authorized by federal statute to collect, analyze, and disseminate comprehensive federal justice transaction statistics, and to work jointly with other federal agencies to improve data quality (42 U.S.C. 3732(c)(15)). In practice, that means the award supports ongoing collaboration with multiple federal justice agencies and the technical work needed to receive their administrative datasets each year, clean and standardize the information, and produce integrated statistics that reflect case processing in a coherent way. The opportunity highlights that data are received annually from six federal justice agencies and then standardized to enhance the reliability and usability of statistics across the full case-processing pipeline.
A central outcome of the FJSP is the production of annual federal justice statistics and periodic analytical reports on topics of special interest, helping policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the public better understand what is happening in the federal criminal justice system. The program also supports dissemination through established public-facing tools and archives. Specifically, the FJSP dataset is incorporated into the BJS online query tool, which allows users to interactively generate federal statistics for the years 1994 through 2013, and the data are archived for long-term access at the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD). This emphasis on public access and durable archiving reflects the programs role in making federal justice data usable beyond a single report cycle, supporting replication, trend analysis, and broader research use.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity offered as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement during the project period (for example, close coordination with BJS on deliverables, methods, schedules, and integration with other federal data efforts). The activity category is Information and Statistics, and the CFDA number is 16.734. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $1,000,000, and the application deadline listed was June 6, 2016 (original and current closing date the same). Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional clarification expected in the full eligibility text, suggesting a targeted or specialized applicant pool consistent with the technical, ongoing nature of maintaining a national statistical series.
Overall, the grant continuation is aimed at preserving and advancing a core federal statistical infrastructure: collecting multi-agency administrative records, improving their quality through standardization, generating consistent national-level indicators spanning arrest through corrections, and ensuring those outputs are widely accessible through BJS reporting, interactive query tools, and permanent archiving. It is framed as directly supporting the Departments mission by strengthening partnerships with federal justice agencies, sharing state-of-the-art statistical practices, and enabling innovative strategies for addressing pressing issues in the federal criminal justice system through better data.
