Opportunity Summary:
The State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program is a discretionary federal grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) to strengthen each state's ability to understand and respond to criminal justice issues using reliable data. The core purpose of the program is to maintain and enhance statewide capacity for collecting, managing, analyzing, and using criminal justice statistics. Funding is intended to support the practical work of coordinating statistical activities across agencies, conducting targeted research and analysis, and helping BJS obtain consistent data from the many state and local agencies that serve as respondents to national justice data collections. In addition to producing useful state-level findings, the program emphasizes building and sustaining the infrastructure and partnerships needed for ongoing data-driven decision-making.
This opportunity is offered as a cooperative agreement, meaning the federal agency typically has an ongoing collaborative role with award recipients rather than operating as a hands-off funder. The activity category is Information and Statistics, which reflects that the expected work centers on data systems, statistical coordination, and analytic products rather than direct service delivery. BJS anticipated making about 50 awards under this solicitation, and the program is listed under CFDA number 16.550 (State Justice Statistics Program for Statistical Analysis Centers). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, so applicants generally are not required to provide matching funds as a condition of award.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Applicants must be Statistical Analysis Centers (SACs) that have been formally established by state legislation or by executive order. In practice, SACs are the state-designated entities responsible for criminal justice statistics and analysis, and this solicitation restricts applications to those officially authorized centers. A key requirement for any proposal under this program is that it clearly identifies the participating organizations within the state and spells out the particular criminal justice issues that will be addressed. This reflects the program's focus on statewide coordination: applicants are expected to show how they will work across agencies, align data efforts, and select analysis topics that are relevant to state policy needs, including estimating the impacts of legislative or policy changes when that kind of analysis is needed.
The solicitation timeline shows it was posted on January 16, 2009, with an application closing date of March 31, 2009, and an archive date of April 30, 2009. The funding opportunity number is 2009 BJS 2049, and the official title is "State Justice Statistics Program."
