Opportunity Summary:
The National Judicial Reporting Program 2011 (NJRP) grant opportunity, offered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), sought a single organization to take the lead on designing, developing, and carrying out a major national data collection focused on criminal cases disposed in state courts. The award was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the information and statistics category (CFDA 16.734, Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The solicitation was posted February 25, 2011, and closed April 25, 2011, with an archive date of May 25, 2011, and it anticipated making one award.
The core purpose of the project was to update and expand the NJRP, which historically captured detailed, case-level information about felony sentencing outcomes in state courts along with the demographics of felony offenders. Prior NJRP collections were limited in scope: they did not include federal courts, and they also excluded state or local courts that do not handle adult felony adjudications. For the 2011 cycle, BJS aimed to build on earlier NJRP work and incorporate ongoing redesign efforts to move toward a more comprehensive and continuous administrative data collection. In practice, this meant shifting from periodic snapshots toward a system capable of producing more regular, reliable, and nationally representative information about how criminal cases are disposed in state courts.
A key expectation for the successful applicant was to complete the redesign work already underway and then translate that redesign into an operational administrative data collection. The resulting collection was expected to include “key measures of interest” drawn from a nationally representative sample, with statewide data included where appropriate. This emphasis signals that BJS wanted a system that could support national estimates while also taking advantage of states where full statewide data systems could provide broader coverage and stronger analytic value. Overall, the work was framed as both methodological (finalizing and improving the design) and operational (running the collection and producing usable data).
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 eligibility language also highlighted 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. At the same time, the solicitation reiterated Office of Justice Programs fiscal rules for for-profit recipients: they could not earn profit from the award or charge a management fee for performing the work.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, at 202-616-3561. The funding opportunity number was 2011 BJS 2930, and the official title was National Judicial Reporting Program 2011.
