Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: 2011 BJS 2947) to select one recipient to administer the 2011 National Survey of Tribal Court Systems (NSTCS). The purpose of this project is to carry out a national data collection effort focused on tribal justice systems, specifically by gathering administrative and operational information from tribal courts, tribal prosecutors offices, and indigent defense providers. The survey is intended to cover the tribal justice landscape across the United States, targeting the roughly 200 federally recognized tribal justice systems estimated to be in operation. In practical terms, the award supports the planning and execution of a structured national survey that can produce reliable, standardized information about how these systems are organized and how they function.
The award is issued as a cooperative agreement, which generally signals that BJS expects to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds. The activity category is Information and Statistics, and the program sits under CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive, though they still must meet all federal financial and reporting requirements associated with Office of Justice Programs (OJP) awards.
Eligibility is relatively broad but targeted to organizations with relevant experience and relationships. BJS limited eligible applicants to for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher learning, and consortia that can demonstrate organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. This explicitly includes tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia, reflecting the expectation that successful administration of the NSTCS requires cultural competence, trust, and on-the-ground familiarity with tribal governance and justice contexts. A key financial restriction applies to for-profit entities: consistent with OJP fiscal requirements, for-profit applicants cannot earn a profit from the award and cannot charge a management fee for performing the work. That condition is meant to ensure the funds are used strictly for allowable project costs tied to the data collection and related deliverables.
The timeline for the opportunity shows it was posted and created on March 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 10, 2011, and an archive date of June 9, 2011. Only one award was expected, meaning BJS intended to select a single organization (or consortium) to run the national survey effort. For applicants or interested parties needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the contact listed was Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst at BJS, with a phone number of 202-616-3561.
