1. BASIC INFORMATION

Purpose of the Funding The Office of Justice Programs (OJP) is committed to advancing work that furthers the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) mission to keep our country safe and secure and uphold the rule of law and protect the rights of American citizens. OJP provides federal leadership, funding, and other critical resources to directly support law enforcement, combat violent crime, protect American children, provide services to American crime victims, and address public safety challenges, including human trafficking and the opioid crisis.

This is a notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) for the BJS FY2026 State Justice Statistics (SJS) Program for Statistical Analysis Centers (SAC). The SJS program supports the collection, analysis, and dissemination of statistical information on crime and criminal justice at the state and local levels. Funds are used for core capacity-building projects and special-emphasis capacity-building projects focused on specific areas.

The FY 2026 SJS Program will continue to concentrate on building the core capacities of the state SAC and improving the sharing of state-level information nationally. SACs applying for funds may choose a Core Capacity-Building project focusing on enhancing or building access to new sources of data and improving analytic capability, rather than maintaining current efforts. Funds may also be used to support a specific Special Emphasis Capacity Building project from one of the program areas listed below.

Core Capacity-Building Program Areas:

1. Carrying out research and analyses using incident-based crime data that are compatible with the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS)

• Topical areas of interest for BJS include hate crimes; crimes committed on tribal lands; human trafficking; drug-related arrests, especially those involving methamphetamine, opioid, cocaine, or marijuana possession, trafficking, or distribution; and the citizenship or legal status of arrestees.

2. Measuring criminal justice system performance

• Develop and improve criminal justice statistical processes and make analytical tools available to agencies to better address public safety and administration of justice goals.

• Data collections that help inform or otherwise plan for the justice programs involving reentry, victim services, courts and prosecutor processes, record sealing and expungement practices, and law enforcement initiatives.

3. Increasing access to statistical data

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Statistics | 4

• Electronic infrastructure development, enhancements, and linkages, including developing or using new sources of data; building or enhancing a website;

providing computer support; and preparing reports for dissemination via the internet.

4. Other capacity building project identified by the SAC.

• Support research examining another topic, provided that the project builds the SAC’s capacity to collect, analyze, and report on criminal justice statistics and share state-level information nationally. The application must be accompanied by persuasive documentation and justification that the subject is a top priority for the state’s governor or senior criminal justice policy officials and that use of federal funds is appropriate to support the work.

Up to $75,000 annually may be sought for core capacity-building projects. The time frame may range from 12 to 36 months based on the nature of the proposed project(s) and the quality of the supporting strategic plan. At the end of the project period, final deliverables must be submitted to BJS as part of the final progress report (including but not limited to any other final reports, evaluations, and website enhancements).

Special Emphasis on Capacity Building Program Areas:

1. Utilizing administrative or operational criminal justice data for research.

• Implement new or enhance existing interfaces or data exchange technologies that improve statistical access to data and systems maintained by other state or local entities, including local jails, departments of correction, parole and probation agencies, prosecutor offices and courts, law enforcement agencies, and victim service providers.

2. Conducting targeted analyses that use the state's criminal history records.

• Topic areas of interest for BJS include patterns of criminal behavior, such as sex offending, stalking, or domestic violence. arrests, prosecutions, and convictions for firearms-related offenses; the relationship between citizenship or legal status and patterns of criminal behavior; and recidivism of persons in prison or under community supervision.

An application for funding under the special-emphasis project area must include an impact statement that provides additional justification for each proposed project regarding how each project will directly support or enhance the priorities of BJS. The strength of the impact statement will be an important consideration in the final award decision on the SAC’s application. For example, the national impact statement should address areas such as:

• How the project will support the sharing of state-level information nationally.

• Enhancement of the state’s capability to collect, analyze, and interpret data on criminal justice issues relevant to the states and the nation.

U.S. Department of Justice | Office of Justice Programs | Bureau of Justice Statistics | 5

• Enhancement or support of specific BJS collections by, for example, increasing access to new data sources, improving coverage, reducing respondent burden, or improving or implementing uniformity across states in analytical efforts.

• If and how the state will make maximum use of state-level data collected by BJS or other DOJ components to conduct analyses.

• How the project findings will be used to influence state criminal justice policy and practice, including describing who is interested in the data and the data’s intended uses, and how the resulting work will be shared with other state entities, other state SACs, and the public.

BJS encourages collaboration among the SACs (i.e., multi-SAC projects), particularly in projects that may leverage one SAC’s expertise in another SAC’s proposed project to help build capacity. At the end of the special-emphasis project period, final deliverables must be submitted to BJS as part of the final performance report, including final reports, evaluations, and website enhancements. Up to $150,000 annually may be sought for a special-emphasis project; the time frame may range from 12 to 36 months based on the nature of the proposed project(s) and quality of the supporting justification, although funding may not be available for the full duration of the project in FY 2026. Depending on the strength of the proposals and availability of funds, BJS anticipates making up to 15 awards for special-emphasis projects.
