Opportunity Summary:
The State and Local Justice Agencies Serving Tribal Lands (SLJASTL) opportunity is a Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) cooperative agreement focused on strengthening national statistical data about how justice services are delivered on tribal lands. BJS is building a broader, more coordinated set of data collection efforts to document justice system activities in Indian Country. While existing BJS collections already cover several important areas such as parts of the federal justice system, jails in Indian Country, crimes reported by tribal law enforcement agencies, and tribal court systems, BJS identified two major information gaps that this project is designed to address: what state and local law enforcement agencies do on tribal lands, and what state and local prosecutor offices do on tribal lands. In other words, the project is aimed at capturing the state and local side of justice involvement in tribal contexts, where responsibilities and service delivery often span multiple jurisdictions.
The core work under SLJASTL is the design and administration of two separate but related surveys. One survey targets state and local law enforcement agencies that provide justice services on tribal lands, and the other targets state and local prosecutor offices doing the same. Together, these surveys are meant to produce consistent, comparable information about how these agencies operate when handling tribal matters, what kinds of cases they take on, and what services they provide. A major emphasis is on gathering practical, operational details rather than only high-level counts. The surveys are expected to ask agencies about administrative procedures and practices (how they handle tribal-related work, policies, coordination methods, and processing steps), the size and nature of tribal caseloads and services provided (what they handle and how much), and the agencies capabilities to report more detailed data about the tribal matters they process (whether their records systems, staffing, and data practices can support ongoing, high-quality reporting). The overall goal is to improve the evidence base needed to understand justice activities affecting tribal communities and to make future statistical reporting more complete and reliable.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity issued by BJS under the funding activity category of Information and Statistics, and it is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means BJS expects substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the funded work compared to a standard grant. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an award ceiling of $600,000, and it did not require cost sharing or matching. The CFDA number associated with this solicitation is 16.734 (Special Data Collections and Statistical Studies), indicating its focus on targeted, specialized statistical projects rather than direct service delivery.
Eligibility was broad but specifically oriented toward organizations with demonstrated experience working with American Indian and Alaska Native communities. Eligible applicants included for-profit (commercial) organizations, nonprofit organizations, faith-based and community organizations, institutions of higher education, and consortia that can show organizational and community-based experience in this area. The eligibility language explicitly included tribal for-profit and nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and universities, and tribal consortia. A notable condition applied to for-profit applicants: they were required to agree to forgo any profit or management fee, reflecting the programs expectation that funds support the work itself rather than generating profit.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on May 3, 2013, with a closing date of June 18, 2013, and it was archived on July 18, 2013. The solicitation identifier is Funding Opportunity Number BJS 2013 3636, titled State and Local Justice Agencies Serving Tribal Lands (SLJASTL). For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed program contact was Cathy Maston, Management and Program Analyst, reachable by phone at 202-307-5992.
