Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 12 Data Resources Program (DRP) 2012 Funding for Analysis of Existing Data (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2012 3084) is a discretionary grant program run by the National Institute of Justice in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Statistics and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. The main purpose of the opportunity is to support original criminal justice and juvenile justice research that relies on analyzing data that already exist, rather than collecting new data. The solicitation specifically encourages researchers to use datasets available through the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD), along with other publicly available data sources where appropriate, to generate new findings and policy-relevant insights.
A central feature of this program is its emphasis on NACJD as a ready-to-use data infrastructure for research and evaluation. NACJD is maintained by the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan and serves as a repository for both quantitative and qualitative datasets produced through projects funded by NIJ, BJS, and OJJDP. These datasets are distributed online in downloadable, machine-readable formats and are accompanied by documentation intended to make secondary analysis feasible, including study descriptions, codebooks, and other supporting materials. In practice, the program is designed to increase the return on prior federal investments in data collection by encouraging new analyses, replications, and innovative research questions using those archived resources.
From an administrative standpoint, the award mechanism is a grant, categorized under research and evaluation (listed as an "Other" activity category with a clarification pointing to research and evaluation). The program anticipated making about three awards. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 16.560, which corresponds to National Institute of Justice Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The posted date for the opportunity was February 17, 2012, with an original and final closing date of May 17, 2012, and an archive date of June 30, 2012. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which typically indicates that specific funding ranges were not captured in the summarized listing and applicants would need to consult the full solicitation for budget guidance or expectations.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a broad range of applicants, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications contained in the full solicitation document. This kind of open eligibility commonly allows applications from universities, research organizations, nonprofits, for-profits, state and local governments, and other entities capable of conducting the proposed research, as long as they meet the solicitation requirements and federal grant rules.
For applicants and prospective applicants who needed help, the opportunity provided a support contact. If someone had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, they were directed to seek assistance, and for questions about solicitation requirements they could email DRP@ojp.usdoj.gov. Overall, the grant opportunity is best understood as a targeted funding stream for high-quality secondary analysis in criminal and juvenile justice, leveraging NACJD and other public datasets to produce rigorous, actionable research without the time and cost burden of new data collection.
