Opportunity Summary:
The NIJ FY 14 Data Resources Program 2014 Funding for Analysis of Existing Data (Funding Opportunity Number NIJ 2014 3726) was a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) under CFDA 16.560, which supports research, evaluation, and development projects in the law, justice, and legal services space. The core purpose of this solicitation was to fund projects that analyze data that already exist, rather than collecting new data. NIJ expected to make multiple awards and indicated that this work would be carried out in cooperation with the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) and the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), signaling an emphasis on research that can inform policy and practice across multiple DOJ research and statistics components.
In terms of funding, the solicitation anticipated awards of up to 40,000 dollars each (with an award floor of 1,000 dollars). Projects were typically designed to run about 12 months, which fits the goal of supporting focused, efficient analyses that can produce findings within a relatively short time frame. Indirect costs were allowed, but applicants had to keep in mind that indirect costs were included within the 40,000 dollar cap, meaning there was no additional money beyond that ceiling to cover overhead. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be eligible or competitive.
Eligibility was broad and included many common research and public-sector entities. Eligible applicants included state governments; city, township, county, special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they were not colleges or universities in those specific nonprofit categories); public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities; federally recognized tribal governments and other Native American tribal organizations; for-profit organizations other than small businesses; small businesses; and even individuals. This wide eligibility suggests NIJ intended to attract proposals from academic researchers, government analysts, nonprofits, and private-sector research groups, as long as the proposed work aligned with the solicitation focus on analyzing existing datasets relevant to justice topics.
Key dates show this was a time-limited 2014 opportunity. The announcement was posted and created on February 19, 2014, with an application deadline of May 5, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on June 4, 2014, indicating the submission window had closed and the program had moved into review and award processing. The funding instrument was a grant, and the activity category was listed as law, justice, and legal services, consistent with NIJ's mission to support rigorous research that can strengthen criminal justice knowledge and decision-making.
For applicants or interested parties who needed help accessing the full solicitation, NIJ provided a point of contact through the Data Resources Program email (DRP@usdoj.gov), listed as the program administrator contact. The full solicitation was available via an additional information link, which would normally include detailed requirements such as allowable data sources, expected deliverables, application formatting rules, selection criteria, and reporting obligations.
