Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2012 National Juvenile Court Data Archive grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2012 3262) is a discretionary federal grant from the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention designed to support the ongoing operation and enhancement of the National Juvenile Court Data Archive. The Archive is essentially the nation s central repository for automated case records from courts with juvenile jurisdiction, and the goal of this funding is to ensure that reliable, standardized information about juvenile court activity is collected, checked for quality, analyzed, and then shared in ways that are useful to policymakers, practitioners, researchers, and the public.
At the core of the project is the annual cycle of data collection, verification, and analysis. The funded organization would be responsible for obtaining juvenile court case processing data from participating jurisdictions, validating and cleaning those data so they are consistent and accurate, and producing analyses that describe how the juvenile justice court system responds to law violating youth and youth considered at risk. This includes documenting patterns and trends in juvenile case processing, which can help illuminate how cases move through the system and how responses may differ across states, counties, or time periods.
A major deliverable emphasized in the solicitation is public dissemination. The Archive is expected to publish Juvenile Court Statistics reports and fact sheets that translate complex court data into clear, usable findings. In addition, the opportunity highlights making national and state level data publicly accessible online, meaning the project is not just about maintaining a database, but also about providing practical access to the information for people who rely on these statistics for planning, evaluation, research, and accountability.
The solicitation also places strong importance on technical assistance. Beyond producing national statistics, the Archive must support state and local agencies that collect juvenile court data by helping them expand and improve their information systems and strengthen information sharing capabilities. In practice, this kind of assistance often involves guidance on data standards, improving data completeness and accuracy, mapping local data elements to national reporting formats, and troubleshooting barriers that prevent jurisdictions from submitting high quality automated records.
A distinct additional requirement in FY 2012 is a feasibility study focused on expanding the Archive s scope. Specifically, the funded entity must assess what it would take to include data collection from juvenile dependency courts, which handle child abuse and neglect matters. The feasibility study is intended to estimate the level of effort needed, likely including questions of data availability, consistency across jurisdictions, legal and confidentiality constraints, technical integration issues, and the resources required to incorporate dependency court data into the existing Archive framework.
Funding details indicate OJJDP expected to make one award under this solicitation, with an award ceiling of 600,000 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on March 21, 2012, with an application closing date of May 7, 2012, and an archive date of June 6, 2012. The activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services, and the CFDA listing included is 16.523 (Juvenile Accountability Block Grants), as provided in the source information.
Eligibility is broad and includes states and territories, units of local government (including federally recognized tribal governments), nonprofit and for profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for profit organizations), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). The solicitation notes that joint applications are welcome, but one entity must be designated as the primary applicant for official communication and grant management, with others listed as co applicants. For profit applicants are allowed but must agree to forgo any profit or management fee, which is an important condition for budgeting and organizational participation.
The program authority for this solicitation is listed as 42 U.S.C. 3796ee 10. For help accessing the full announcement or navigating solicitation requirements, applicants were directed to the Justice Information Center, with support available by phone, email, and web chat during specified business hours.
