Opportunity Summary:
NIJ FY 13 Data Resources Program 2013 Funding for Analysis of Existing Data (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2013 3373) was a discretionary federal grant solicitation focused on research and evaluation in the criminal and juvenile justice fields. It was issued by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in partnership with the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP). The central purpose of the opportunity was to fund original research projects that rely on analysis of existing datasets, rather than collecting new data. In practice, this meant encouraging applicants to produce new findings, policy-relevant insights, or methodological advances by using data that already exist and are accessible through major public repositories.
A defining feature of the program was its emphasis on leveraging the National Archive of Criminal Justice Data (NACJD) as a primary source of research material, along with other public data sources as appropriate. The solicitation was positioned to support studies that could move quickly and efficiently because the underlying data were already available. This generally aligns with objectives like maximizing the value of prior federal investments in data collection, promoting replication and secondary analysis, and accelerating the translation of research into knowledge that can inform practice and policy in areas such as crime trends, justice system processing, corrections, victimization, and juvenile justice topics.
The program anticipated making about five awards. It did not specify an award ceiling or award floor in the summary fields provided (both listed as 0), which typically indicates that applicants needed to consult the full solicitation document for guidance on expected budget ranges, allowable costs, project periods, and any recommended funding levels. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity was 16.560, which corresponds to NIJ Research, Evaluation, and Development Project Grants. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, effectively open to any type of entity, subject to any additional clarifications contained in the full solicitation. That kind of broad eligibility commonly includes academic institutions, nonprofit organizations, for-profit entities, state and local governments, and potentially tribal governments or other qualified organizations, depending on the solicitation language. Because the short notice points to possible clarifications, applicants would have needed to verify any specific constraints or documentation requirements in the full announcement.
Key dates for the opportunity were as follows: it was posted on March 14, 2013, with a closing date of May 30, 2013 (the original and current closing dates were the same). The record lists an archive date of July 31, 2013, indicating that the solicitation was no longer active after that point. Administrative support for applicants was handled through Grants.gov for submission issues, with 24/7 technical support available (except federal holidays) via the Grants.gov Customer Support Hotline. For solicitation-specific questions not tied to technical submission, the opportunity directed inquiries to DRP@ojp.usdoj.gov, which served as the program email contact for the Data Resources Program.
Overall, this grant opportunity was designed to stimulate high-quality, original criminal justice research using existing datasets, especially those curated and distributed through NACJD, and to do so through a streamlined funding mechanism that favored rigorous secondary analysis over new data collection.
