Opportunity Summary:
The OJJDP FY 2015 National Juvenile Court Data Archive grant (Funding Opportunity Number OJJDP 2015 4125) is a discretionary federal grant from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP), focused on sustaining and strengthening the National Juvenile Court Data Archive. The Archive serves as the nation’s central repository for automated case records from courts with juvenile jurisdiction, capturing what juvenile courts handle and how they respond to youth referred for law-violating behavior and other at-risk circumstances. The overall purpose of the award is to support the yearly cycle of collecting juvenile court case data, checking and validating it, analyzing it, and turning it into usable national information that policymakers, researchers, practitioners, and the public can rely on.
The core work funded under this opportunity centers on annual data collection and data quality assurance. That includes gathering case-level information from participating state and local juvenile court data systems, verifying the accuracy and completeness of those submissions, and applying consistent methods so the resulting dataset can be used to produce credible national and state-level statistics. The expectation is that the grantee will not only compile the data, but also document juvenile court activities and case processing in a way that supports trend analysis over time, comparisons across jurisdictions, and clearer understanding of how juvenile courts handle different categories of cases and youth.
A major deliverable is public-facing dissemination. The Archive is expected to publish and distribute information about juvenile court case processing through established products such as Juvenile Court Statistics reports and fact sheets, translating complex administrative data into accessible summaries. In addition, the project will make national and state-level data publicly available online, supporting transparency and enabling outside analysis by researchers and other stakeholders. In practice, this means maintaining user-friendly access to aggregate statistics and, where appropriate, downloadable datasets or tools that allow the public to explore the information without needing specialized access.
Another central component is technical assistance (TA). The funded project is expected to assist state and local juvenile court data collection agencies with improving and expanding their information systems and their ability to share information. This can include guidance on data standards, improving data definitions and coding practices, addressing gaps in reporting, strengthening automated case-management and reporting capacity, and troubleshooting barriers that prevent consistent data submission. The intent is to improve the quality, coverage, and comparability of juvenile court data nationwide, not just to compile what already exists.
The solicitation also highlights a targeted expansion effort: planning and implementing additional work to expand case estimates to include Hispanic/Latino youth more effectively. This reflects a recognition that race and ethnicity measurement can be inconsistent across jurisdictions and that national estimates may require improved methods, better reporting practices, and stronger statistical approaches to ensure Hispanic/Latino youth are accurately represented. The funded recipient is expected to take concrete steps in this direction as part of the overall Archive mission.
Funding for the opportunity is structured as a single expected award, with both an award floor and ceiling of $650,000, indicating OJJDP anticipated one grant at a fixed amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted March 31, 2015, with an application closing date of May 28, 2015, and an archive date of June 27, 2015. The CFDA number listed is 16.540 (Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Allocation to States), and the activity category is Law, Justice and Legal Services.
Eligibility is broad but defined. Eligible applicants include states and territories, units of local government, federally recognized tribes that perform law enforcement functions, nonprofit and for-profit organizations (including tribal nonprofit and for-profit entities), and institutions of higher education (including tribal institutions). A key restriction is that for-profit organizations must agree to forgo any profit or management fee under the award. OJJDP also allows collaborative proposals involving two or more entities, but requires that one eligible entity serve as the lead applicant with primary responsibility for the project. Any partners must be structured as subrecipients or contractors as appropriate, and the lead applicant is responsible for oversight, monitoring, and proper management of any subawards or subcontracts. OJJDP will consider only one application per lead applicant, although an organization may participate as a subrecipient on multiple submissions.
In plain terms, this grant is designed to keep the nation’s juvenile court statistical infrastructure running: collecting and cleaning court data each year, producing authoritative reports and online statistics, helping jurisdictions improve how they capture and share juvenile justice information, and addressing known gaps in demographic estimation, particularly for Hispanic/Latino youth.
