Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) grant opportunity titled "Recidivism in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 (NLSY97)" funds an 18-month research effort to examine how and why people return to offending after justice system involvement, using the rich, long-running NLSY97 dataset. The central purpose is to map developmental patterns of recidivism over time and identify the legal, social, economic, and educational factors that are linked to juvenile and adult recidivism as well as successful reentry. In practical terms, the project is meant to turn an existing national longitudinal survey into a stronger, more user-ready platform for recidivism research and to produce analyses that help policymakers and practitioners better understand what influences reoffending versus reintegration.
The award is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the "Information and Statistics" activity category, signaling that BJS expects active involvement and collaboration during the project rather than a hands-off grant. BJS anticipated making one award, with total estimated funding of $350,000 and an award ceiling of $350,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which lowers barriers for applicants that may not have additional funds to contribute.
The planned period of performance is 18 months beginning in October 2010. The original and current application deadline listed is June 8, 2010, with a posting date of April 7, 2010 and an archive date of July 8, 2010. The funding opportunity number is 2010 BJS 2655, and it is associated with CFDA 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), which aligns with BJS's role as the federal statistical agency for criminal justice data.
The deliverables are clearly defined and have a strong public-use orientation. First, the project must produce a public access database designed to support a wide range of recidivism studies, meaning the funded team is expected to prepare data in a way that is accessible, well-documented, and usable for secondary analyses by other researchers. Second, the project must produce publications that explore and explain the correlates of recidivism, which may include empirical findings on how factors like schooling trajectories, employment history, family formation, neighborhood context, justice system contacts, and other life-course indicators relate to reoffending and reentry outcomes. Because the opportunity emphasizes "developmental patterns," it implies attention to timing and transitions over adolescence and early adulthood, not just a single snapshot of re-arrest or re-incarceration.
Eligibility is broad but specific, encompassing for-profit organizations, nonprofit organizations (including faith-based and community organizations), institutions of higher learning, and consortia. The eligibility description also highlights applicants with demonstrated organizational and community-based experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities, including tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. A key fiscal restriction applies to for-profit applicants: consistent with Office of Justice Programs (OJP) requirements, for-profit organizations cannot earn a profit from the award or charge a management fee for performing the work.
Applicants seeking additional details beyond the summary were directed to the program announcement and provided a point of contact: Lisa Price Grear, Program Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-616-3561 for assistance, including help accessing the full announcement electronically.
