Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 13 Division of Innovation and Research Fellowship on Juvenile Justice Data was a discretionary federal funding opportunity offered by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) to strengthen the quality, coordination, and usefulness of juvenile justice data in the United States. The central purpose of the fellowship was to help OJJDP deliver timely, credible, and policy-relevant information to the field on how youth move through juvenile justice systems, what needs those systems are addressing, and what patterns exist in youth risk behaviors, victimization, and offending. By improving the underlying data, the program aimed to support better decision-making for practitioners and policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels, and across the many agencies and organizations that rely on juvenile justice statistics.
This opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the fellow would not simply conduct independent research with minimal oversight, but would work collaboratively with OJJDP as an active partner. The fellow was expected to assist with juvenile justice data collection efforts across multiple levels of government and help advance cross-agency strategies, policies, and programs designed to enhance data quality and usability nationwide. In practical terms, the fellowship emphasized applied expertise: aligning data systems and measurement approaches, improving survey and statistical methods, and ensuring that the resulting information could be translated into insights that directly inform juvenile justice policy and practice.
Funding was modest but targeted: OJJDP anticipated making a single award with an estimated total of $150,000, which also served as the award ceiling. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The solicitation fell under CFDA 16.541, Part E, which focuses on developing, testing, and demonstrating promising new programs, underscoring that the fellowship was meant to produce actionable improvements rather than purely academic outputs. The program was authorized under 42 USC 5631 and 5633, with reference to Pub. L. No. 113-6, reflecting its grounding in federal juvenile justice statutory authority.
Eligibility was limited to individuals, with OJJDP specifically inviting applications from senior-level social science researchers and/or statisticians whose work focuses on juvenile justice-related topics. The ideal applicant profile highlighted deep experience in juvenile justice, strong command of survey methodology, and advanced statistical capability, all of which are essential for diagnosing data gaps, improving measurement, and guiding rigorous collection and analysis practices. In other words, OJJDP was seeking a highly experienced fellow who could operate at the intersection of research, statistics, and real-world juvenile justice operations, and who could collaborate effectively across agencies and jurisdictions.
Key administrative details show this was a time-limited FY 2013 opportunity: it was posted May 29, 2013, with an application closing date of July 15, 2013, and it was archived August 14, 2013. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or meeting solicitation requirements were directed to the Justice Information Center (JIC), with support available by phone, email, and live web chat during specified business hours, including extended hours on the closing date.
